Just a quick question about structures blocking light.

A few versions ago when I first started playing (not sure which one it was) I started on a map with a dozen or so deep gorge with a river at the bottom. I built a bridge across using constructed floors, and when I looked underneath, the tiles were slightly darker than the ones above it.

I just remembered this today, and I don't recall seeing shadows for quite some time.

I was wondering else saw shadows before, or if it was just me.

EDIT: Just as a side note, I'm using the pheobus pack.

That's the norm, I see it all the time with multiple empty level above-ground constructs that's roofed over. The empty space outside is blue-tiled, the inside one is black ( or darker ) tiled. You need empty space to see it, though, and to be above-ground.
