Add new weather types into Rust#39
Short description:
Weather has been a part of Rust in the past. I believe it was removed because of performance issues but years have past since then, so it might be worth looking into this again. Below are some types and possible effects based on the previous roadmap.
Weather types:
[X] Fog (Basic fog as you would expect.)
[X] Rain (If Garry is reading this, look outside the window.)
[X] Thunderstorms (Similar to rain but with occasional lightning strikes.)
[X] Snow (Colder rain but slower and more “flaky”.)
[ ] Radstorms (Almost like thunderstorms but with a red and green ‘ish tint.)
Weather effects (optional):
Fog [Often]
- Slightly increased harvest speed
- Slightly more generated plants
Rain [Often]
- Increased harvest speed
- More generated plants
Thunderstorms [Less often]
- Increased harvest speed
- More generated plants
- Faster animal movement (e.g. they panic)
Snow [Rare]
- Decreased harvest speed
- Less generated plants
- Hurts naked players slowly over time (e.g. snowy biom behavior)
Radstorms [Very rare]
- Highly decreased harvest speed
- Almost no generated plants
- Gives rads to players without enough protection (e.g. acid rain)
That’s my suggestion, feel free to ask questions.
Cheers!
Weather is planned to be implmented at somepoint in the future.
Radstorms would be sooo cool.
Thanks for the heads up! I personally wouldn’t mind if this would be implemented step by step over time, basically not all types at once.
although its cool they should wait a while till they add this, game is still an unoptimized mess and they keep adding new content that makes it worse. they need to get that sorted first
Weather effects should change temperature and wetness when outdoors.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Snow and rain are my personal most wanted in rust. I love rust for atmosphere and rain with snow will add so better atmosphere in game….
Weather updates are a must. If possible, the atmosphere will be great.
Glad I found this. It should affect the player too: https://rust.nolt.io/16773
Radstorm SHOULD relate to Aurora Borealis or Aurora Astralis. Northern/Southern lights. hopefully you can make that happen and make the skies in rust BEAUTIFULL.
Thanks again for adding this!
