Bug in transfer pass.

[Leeanda]

I was spending the night in the car on the road leading to forsaken,during a very thick snowfall.  Yet I managed to read a book through most of the night until roughly around 3am..   I did get out the car briefly and could've sworn I heard the Aurora ,very faintly ..   I'm wondering if there was an Aurora in forsaken and because I wasn't too far away from the entrance that that's why it allowed me to read.   Just out of curiosity though I tried mapping but it said it was too dark..

Anyone else noticed something like this?

This is not exclusive to transfer pass 

Sometimes the game will allow you to repair clothes, read, craft, etc outside at night for no apparent reason, this happens in all regions.
You can only map during nighttime if there's a full active aurora

I find it extremely unlikely that the game simulates weather in other regions that you're not in, and if it does then it most definitely doesn't affect your current weather. Weather is this game works in a simple way, it randomly generates a list of weather patterns 1-4 items long, then the weather plays out, and when it's done another list is rolled again.

For example the game might roll something like this:

• snowfall light (2hrs)
• snowfall heavy (2hrs)
• Blizzard (3hrs)
• snowfall light (1.5hrs)

And when it's done, it will reroll a new list, with the first weather being similar to the last weather

• Fog light (2.5hrs)
• Clear sky (4 hrs)

And then another list, and so on

Time duration for the weather is also randomly generated anywhere from 2-4 hours or so, but this depends on your settings as well

Spoiler

Dev console mod + debug_weather command will show the inner workings of the weather system

No, but we can only read by night, without a blizzard or thick fog. Are you sure you heard a aurora?

It was thick snowfall all night,and most of the next morning....   I know it's a bit touch and go as to when you can read but in my experience that's usually only when it's a cloudless night..

I definitely heard it ,but it was very quiet..

Well I'm sometimes able to read at night during fog or snowfall outside, although it's not consistent, so idk what to say

Also the cut off for daytime light is always at the same time, and it happens here

Thank you...   It was after that phase though... But I do seem to get weird one off bugs .. 

That same run has been really laggy as well.

Sometimes you can read but not mapping. Sometimes is to dark to break a chair but you can read tho. I dont really know what game considers too dark. Is quite random already for me.

It is a bit random ... I could maybe have understood being able to read if it was a clear night but it was snowing quite heavily all the way through.

I love when is clear night full moon. But can't read because is too dark... I mean I have visibility for 500 meters or more but cant read a book in my hands theoretically...

Maybe a new feat, something like night owl.. let's you read, map ,break down furniture and some crafting in the dark.

I love it too, I spend quite some time watching the stars twinkle away😊

Yes, I've noticed that, on some occasions, the Aurora music is playing without Aurora.

I've only heard it that way round in transfer pass though..   

Usually it's the aurora but no sound..  I've just been to bleak actually and there was no aurora sound at all, except  on the bridge then I got some crackling noises..

I think I was in Forlorn Muskeg and it was foggy... 🤓

Typical forlorn.   😁.   

I'll have to keep an ear out for it
