Sun blockers block all [[light]] from the sun in a 10 world-tile radius of the map it spawns on, whether it be the player's colony or on an event map. Any maps in the area will be as dark as night all day, [[solar generator]]s will not function, [[plants]] will not grow without another source of light, and effects that depend on the presence of sunlight such as [[Genes#Mild UV sensitivity|UV Sensitivity]] genes {{BiotechIcon}} will not trigger. | Sun blockers block all [[light]] from the sun in a 10 world-tile radius of the map it spawns on, whether it be the player's colony or on an event map.

However, sun blockers still come with the work and move speed penalties in darkness and prevent regular crop growth. Work and move penalties can mitigate by using [[Ideoligion#Lighting|Lighting: Darklight Prefered]] precept or with the [[Genes#Dark vision|Dark vision]] gene {{BiotechIcon}} while sun lamps can be used to grow crops or [[nutrifungus]],{{IdeologyIcon}} which does not need light, can be grown instead. Note that nutrifungus still requires a roof over it to be planted, even though no sunlight will ever hit it. All three precepts come with penalties or restrictions while the sun still shines, but [[Ideoligion#Fluid ideoligions|Fluid ideoligion]]s can add memes / precepts after a sunblocker lands. |
