Looks great, I'll be getting this one for my next playthrough. Bookmarked :)

Any snow for Aquilo as well?

Suggestions:

1. Varying intensities during day/night
2. Different graphics per planet, so it's not the same patterns repeated. Maybe just some slight direction changes?

This is gonna look really awesome with some intense storms at night, pairing it with a mod that darkens nights! (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/diurnal-dynamics)

Appreciate it! I can add snow to Aquilo in the next update. The varying intensities will be more challenging to make, given I only started modding a couple of days ago. Maybe I could even implement optional lightning for certain planets!

Sounds good, and no worries about getting it done fast, take your time! Everyone starts somewhere! :)

Yeah it would be nice if Nauvis could for example get snow, lightning strikes, and rain mixed in too on different days! The lightning strikes would functionally be cosmetic since you can't use lightning collectors outside Fulgora anyway. Though that does open up the opportunity for other mods to enable them on nauvis!

I don't know how much will be possible to do, but I think it would also be cool if it integrated with Alien Biomes mod, so the weather effects could be dependent on the biomes you're in.

Dust storms in the deserts, snow in the colder biomes, rain in the temperate zones, and lightning throughout. That would be really cool, I hope I can add that one day. For now, the mod Nauvis Downpour implements the rain mechanic on Nauvis. I'll mention it on my mod's page too.

As for the different graphics that you mentioned earlier, that's something I'll absolutely look into for the next update! Certain planets could have calmer weather, whereas on others, the storms would rapidly cover the screen from the side! I'll look into adding fog to planets too in order to enhance the effects of the storms.

Sounds awesome! There is also this https://mods.factorio.com/mod/visible-pollutants which sounds like a cool addition as well.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Each planet now has different storm visuals!

Very cool! The videos on the information page show it nicely.
Another related idea: Have the intensity of the weather vary over a planet‘s surface. Thus creating a bit of regional distinction. I imagine the visuals to be stronger or fainter when moving, by relating them to location. The change should be gradual.
The same principle could be applied with respect to time.

I've been trying it out for a bit, and it looks pretty great! Though a few issues was noticed that you might wanna check on.

I noticed that scrolling the camera in map view quickly makes the effects fall behind and takes a while to start spawning in again. This is very noticeably on Aquilo where the snow will fade in after you stop moving the camera and not appear while the camera moves.

At Vulcanus if you rapidly tap S to scroll the camera down in smaller steps, you can notice the rain starts to accumulate on screen for a while. Looks kinda like the sprites slow down when they are supposed to be offscreen (when comparing to not moving the camera.)

More dynamic weather is something I intend to figure out in the future for this!

I've noticed the bug with the effects too, I'll try and see if I can do anything in the next update. In the meantime, I've released 1.3!

awesome mod, hope it blows up

Appreciate it a lot! It's already doing very well for me, over two hundred downloads.

This is some AAA stuff, kudos! Looking forwards for a full weather mod one day!

Also you could go full alien or unususal "weather" types, like maybe a Northern Lights style overlay for Aquilo etc.

Northern lights for Aquilo would be amazing, I'll see if anything like that can be done! The acid rain on Vulcanus is also quite unusual. And thank you for the kind words, o7.

<3 :)

The latest update should have fixed the rain accumulating on the screen in Vulcanus!

Looks great, thank you!

Thank you for this mod! Love visual additions like new weather effects, instant download for me c:

Thanks, appreciate the support!
