@puzzlezaddict After this I tried repairing my game again to see if it had any effect. It seems this time, if I've got the lighting setting on extra high I can get the roof over a room to work but still not the basement. Whatever this is its very temperamental. I have no doubt's its not intentional, just very irritating! I try to keep my settings below extra high in order not to stress out my already-overworked macbook, but it seems to be the only setting that is allowing the light through, which is very odd! (also I understand, I haven't changed from Sierra for both a. I don't want to get used to the new ones, Sierra works fine, and b. some of the programmes I use don't run on newer OS so I stick to Sierra for their peace of mind!)
@CalyxSpaceAce I understand why you wouldn't want to max out the settings, although as long as I keep my own Mac cool, it handles things just fine. Still, given the evidence, it probably is a bug.
My MacBook Pro is Bootcamped, so I tested in Windows just now, with the same settings. (Although I have to note that my GPU is rated as a 5 in Windows and a 4 in macOS.) I saw exactly the same issues in Windows, with one exception: When all of the basement roofs were closed, the floors disappeared as well as the walls. The objects in the basement rooms were still visible though.
As it happens, I hadn't updated the game in Windows since patch 1.52.100.1020, so I tested on that first, then on 1.55.108.1020, the current patch. The behavior was exactly the same on each patch level.
