Mun craters with eternal shadow?

[kiwiak]

On our moon there are craters near poles that have interior covered perpetually in shadow.

Are such things also on Mun?

Not really because the game does not simulate horizon shadow. If the sun is above planet's reference ball, the crater wall is lit even if it should be in shadow of the opposite wall.

So bassicly terrain doesnt casts shadow at all?

[Kasuha]

Something like that.

This "crater" is on Moho North pole. Check its sunlit wall.

The Unity light engine has difficulties working with large scale realtime shadows so yeah, planetary lighting isn't shadowed.

Right. I've noticed well before a sunrise my solar panels indicate they are receiving full sunlight.

We can only hope that they will improve this in future.
