What about the ceiling bricks?

What about the ceiling bricks?
For those I just took the 2x8f on top of the glowing white brick and added a white ambient light

Use a 2x2f in the center instead, it looks bad with the 2x8f

Your build actually looks pretty cool even with the limit on. Why are the rails brown though?

wtf


well if you look i think the efect you want is curently on the wall but you might want that on the floor

You put the light way too close to the ground. I usually use a 3x or 5x invisible-painted brick for ambient lights like that.

I would put the light source slightly higher than halfway up the height of the ceiling for these. Since there's three lights in a fairly small area, you may want to consider only two or one actual sources between them if there's going to be any others nearby.

oh ok, that would make sense. I finally settled on doing something similar to that, but not quite the same. I'll fix it in a little bit. I bet that will save a lot of lights too, currently I'm using 9 dim ambient lights and 3 players lights, lol

Also, since shaders, invisible painted bricks don't work quite as predictably as they used to. In some situations, it'll be obvious they're there.
