Arm the fuck up and kill anyone who comes near u then, ain't nobody stealing my pot
OR or, just talk smooth to cops and get the PD under your payroll.
Works 1/100 times, all fun untill you open the door and see 4 SWAT and an entire PD outside your door with their guns out
Get that camera setup bro. Best part is when they breach you just start saying legal mumbo jumbo and confuse them 
Nah man, i have a better idéa. Get a chair, no guns or anything. Just throw a molotov on your weed plants and sit there enjoying it, then watch their reaction when they storm in.

Yup. Makes it a little harder to get a bigger setup.
Yeah but it shines THROUGH FUCKING WALLS
That makes literally no sense

Then do that

Nah, I say if you wanna keep production high, you gotta increase that risk factor
Couple updates:
- Improved crash refund reliability so that lights will refund on client crash as well as server. Hopefully this holds up to real-world testing.
- Pots can now be picked up using Shift+E just like UV lights (this will likely be rolled out to all production entities, including the laboratory)
- Pots are now automatically refunded on server or client crash

By having shit shine through walls? The noise is enough
Light going through solid objects just looks stupid and opens more doors for very loosely reasoned, pseudo-meta raids.
Put it this way, pre-update if you saw light coming out of something you wouldn't think twice, but now because of your OOC knowledge of the update you're on the prowl for it. Doesn't really add up.
I really don’t see it being a big issue. Most presidents don’t even make it illegal and when it is, it’s rare for me to see the light through the walls. The lights are fine and the radius is small enough to allow player to easily move it so it doesn’t cut through walls.
Hot Tip:
If you’re going to place lights don’t do it directly against an outside wall, and if you do - check to make sure the light isn’t leaking (Source Engine). Otherwise a cop is going to see UV druglights lighting up your house like a Christmas tree and will want to look.

Would it not count as Meta?
Radius of these lights needs to be increased considerably. Currently the light has to be literally touching the plant and once you can no longer freeze the plants this will cause physics bugs since they reposition every time they grow and you'll have pots flying around everywhere.
Trace radius is currently 250 units. During testing this was fine at considerable distance. You might want to ensure there are no trace issues - plant and UV lights won't interfere with each other but other props or players will.
Note that light radius is different to effective trace radius - due to how dynamic lighting works the light flow itself is not the most accurate representation.
Is there a way you can incorporate seeds into the refund on crash etc. if they are planted in the pot? They are the expensive part after all.
I'll look into this later, good idea.
