woodspiral Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Would be good to have more effects like - Rainbows - Glory effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glory_(optical_phenomenon) - Sleet - Thunder & Lighting - Wildfires (like the ash canyon) Cheers, Woodspiral 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeanda Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I'd love some thunderstorms! Often thought about them while inside on a dark windy night! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpUpAway95 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) I won't say that British Columbia never gets thundersnow (i.e. thunder and lightning during a snowstorm), but I think it's extremely rare. It's a little more common here on the Prairies and farther east around the Great Lakes, but still fairly rare. I also think the ambient air temperatures outdoors are generally too cold for either sleet or rain. OP - I could see everything except wildfires being a possibility. The Ash Canyon fire occurred before the in-game timeline. Any active fire would just change the topography mid-game too much; and I believe Raph once said that it would require a major redo of the game's programming architecture to accommodate. The "background" game world was designed to be relatively static (i.e. no cutting down of trees, no dismantling or erecting entire buildings, etc.) Edited February 25, 2022 by UpUpAway95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, it would be nice. Again, though, I don't think the game's programming architecture allows for it without an almost complete restructuring.

Leeanda Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 How about meteor showers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome idea, and actually reminded me something else I wanted to say but forgot. If you look up at night there are no recognisable constellations. It would very easy to take a public database of star position and magnitudes and plot them on the night sky. The aurora is done *stunningly* I would say (having seen the real thing I'm comparing with reality here), so it would be amazing if we could have a real star field up there as well.

Maybe we could have a telescope somewhere and make our own star chart. Even get an achievement ,Stargazer' maybe ? Not sure what the reward would be though!

Pyroxene Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 You can find rainbows near the waterfalls in Hushed River Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
