I noticed this as well, I'll take a look. I'm not sure if I can do much if the rust update changed the brightness of full moon nights.

It seems like the latest update added a new fog/haze that can't be removed. The best thing I can suggest would be to play around with the weather.atmosphere_brightness or weather.atmosphere_contrast variables in the config. I tried brightness 1.5 and contrast 1.5 on my test server and while it's not as bright as it was before the update I do notice a difference.

welp that sucks! No wonder why it didnt look broken because its technically not broken. Kinda over facepunch doing stuff like this tbh

well that sucks, why would facepunch change this....

Any fix coming soon? I really miss this plugin 

Unfortunately, there is nothing for me to fix, the latest rust update changed the darkness of full moon nights which the plugin relies on to function properly. I contacted facepunch and they said "There's a barrage of hotfixes incoming with the shaders/lighting. I would just wait it out a bit longer and it may fix itself." So hopefully one of their hotfixes fixes the plugin.

The nights and lighting are much brighter with the latest rust update. I'm going to mark this as fixed.

smh, so facepunch didnt push any hotfix to have them like before?

They didn't push any hotfixes that I noticed during July when the issue first appeared, but the latest rust update fixes the shaders/lighting to have them like before.
