Purpose

Hiding clouds makes lab tiles nice and uniform for screenshots, but it's a global setting rather than a per-save setting, and I inevitably forget to re-enable clouds when I return to a real game. This mod fixes that.

Features

  • Automatically hide cloud shadows while using the editor controller. Works with /editor, mods like Editor Extensions, and scripting.
  • Handles changing, creating, importing, and deleting surfaces.
  • Multiplayer support. Any player using the editor will disable clouds on that surface for all players.

FAQ

  1. Can clouds be disabled on a per-player basis rather than the whole surface?
    • This is not possible with the current modding API.
  2. Does this mod have a performance impact?
    • Nope.
