Light Not Travelling Through Airflow Tiles

I do not know if this change was intentional and am unsure when it started happening, but it seems that light no longer travels through airflow tiles as it used to. Decor still does though it seems.

User Feedback


this was intentional when window tiles were added, if they didn't the new tile would be useless

I have to disagree with Neotuck on the word "useless". IRL, mesh tiles and semi-permeable surfaces do let light pass through, even if the light is opaque. Glass tiles should add a game mechanic without restricting mesh/airflow tiles mechanics. If they leave it this way, light control in early/mid game is super hard to control. To simply things for devs maybe leave Mesh tiles to let light pass through so we can build floors and walls so we can build stuff on them early/mid game.

It was my understanding that the window tiles were for the new space biome to allow sunlight in - wouldn't it be a bit strange to have windows underground? I often use the airflow tiles to distribute light and air in my bristle berry farms, I don't know about using windows to substitute for this.
