Hey, Paracelsin and Muria dev here!
Thanks for forking the 2 mods and porting them to 2.1, theyre truly two of my favorite visual mods for the game and I'm surprised no one remade them before you.
I had 2 questions.
Why not fuse the two mods into one?
And will you add new effects for planets not supported by either of the two/update old effects?

Hi, thanks, glad you like them!

Merging: I only maintain the Additions port; Celestial Weather (2.1 Fork) is by TheN8mare. I agree a single mod makes more sense, especially since the base fork has no public source. I'll ask TheN8mare first, and if they're fine with it (or don't reply), I'll fold the base mod into this one, so you'd only need one mod.

New effects: this is a port, so I won't be adding new planets or reworking existing effects, but I'll keep fixing bugs. PRs are always welcome: https://github.com/GreenTech-Solutions/celestial-weather-additions. Since Muria and Paracelsin are yours, feel free to send a PR if you'd like their effects tweaked.

I see. Thanks for answering.
I do reccomend considering new effects though, it being a port doesnt stop you from adding a bit of your spice, at leasy accepting prs with new effects would be cool id say.

Fair point, and yes - PRs with new effects are welcome too. Effects for your own planets would be especially great.

I mean Paracelsin and Muria already have effects and, not to undermine the effects mods, I'm even considering implementing them in the base mods cuz they're just that good.
Especially the Paracelsin one, I'd be glad if you hanged the one that makes the planet dark and ashy the default one instead of an optional one

That's great to hear, and since it's your planet, that settles it. I'll make the Paracelsin volcanic winter (ash snow + always dark) enabled by default in the next release. It will still be toggleable in settings for anyone who prefers the vanilla look.

Yeah ofc

Quick update: I merged two mods into one, and the Paracelsin volcanic winter is on by default for now
