15ef9de66a Try dimming the sky a bit more.
This should hopefully make the land seem a bit
brighter in comparison...

42ec1d7d5a Merge highly experimental perpetual twilight.
This removes the day/night cycle from NodeCore,
which experience seems to suggest may be more of
an annoyance than a useful and interesting gameplay
feature.

Some aspects of gameplay are notably altered, such
as the balance between artificial and natural light,
and the operation of optics (no more solar lenses).

The overall atmosphere of the game is also deeply
changed by this, taking on a timeless, dream-like
quality.  It remains to be seen whether this change is
beneficial or even tolerable.

c7a322941e Experimental new natural light system.
- No day/night cycle, no sun/moon.
- Get rid of clouds too.
- Skybox is now 100% texture-packable.
- Natural light diminishes with depth.

Night-time no longer disrupts gameplay topside, but
skylights are no longer useful to an infinite depth and
artificial light is necessary for all deep mining.
