StarMade Hotfix v0.199.161 Lighting optimizations

Hello citizens ~

We just uploaded a small update that will increase lighting calculation speed by ~30%. That's the time of a recalculation when you place a block or turn light on/off. The chunk32 update introduced a bit of delay on it since it is doing 8 times the work now. There are more optimizations planned in that regard very soon.

Also, a lighting bug has been fixed. It caused the lighting switch to distance lighting to be a hard edge, so chunks appeared to be suddenly darker when coming closer.

Thanks for playing StarMade,
