Interact With Hanging Lights and Understand Physics

Observe Dynamic Behavior

Once hung, your light strings sway gently in the wind automatically. This creates a living, organic feel to your decorations. The swaying intensity varies based on in-game conditions.

Walk Through Strings

When you walk into or collide with hanging lights, they react and move around you. This interaction makes decorations feel responsive and adds immersion to your base. The strings will return to their natural sway once you pass through.

Optimize Placement for Physics

Strings hung between distant points will sway more noticeably than short strings. Experiment with different distances and anchor heights to achieve your desired visual effect. Longer strings create more dramatic movement.

Combine Multiple Strings

Hang several strings close together to create layered decorative effects. Each string moves independently, so the combined effect is more complex and visually interesting. This works especially well for creating dense light canopies or elaborate archways.
