Rain

[nahmaz]

Why is there so little rain when so many bugs and fish depend on them every season? Spent all day in Spring 3 year 2 catching a few random ones I missed, but then the day was over, because of course they're also all rare to even find which took time. I'm on Spring 20 now and there's only been one windy day since, zero rain, otherwise the same "sunny and clear". Blowing thru a whole month was bad enough but I'm going to have to wait a year now for one fish? No thanks. I hear there's an item that can change weather, but that's end game and I need that one fish to even achieve that so it doesn't do ANY good. Just add in some more variance or at least a base amount per season because the RNG sucks bad - almost every single day all year 1 was "sunny and clear" it's crazy this place should be a desert.

The RNG with weather is really brutal and there's no guarantee you will get rain in an entire season which can mean waiting a year just to fill out a compendium.

I've completed the Temple, Coral Garden, opened the Savannah etc. and I've found nothing that lets you change the weather, so I'm not sure how 'end game' you have to be. But I do think there should be something similar to Stardew Valley rain totems even if they cost a lot to make. There are, after all, the Giants who can influence the weather presumably, so it'd be cool to tie that in with them somehow. Either way, the RNG for weather is atrocious. Even worse when you only have a window of 7 days to get a particular fish or insect that's also dependent on a weather condition like Windy.

There's even advice on how to go into the back-end and manually use save files to trick the game into just rolling different dice on the weather but that's too much effort for me. :/

I know that some of those rare fish appear in the Savannah year round now, so you don't have to stress as much about them. Also you can enable backups in settings and then when you load you can go back days easily and try again to get different weather.

I mean I'll take your word for it but where? I spent forever to get the computer to figure out what stuff I was missing to realize it doesn't include msot of the end game areas and maps aren't even drawn for them as well, let alone bug/fish tracking. I went to the Savannah once and only saw a bunch of stuff I couldn't interact with and the rest was stuff I found on mainland. Just so little information on everything late game. A lot of it locked behind completing bundles I can't do *because it hasn't rained* I mean...

I'm waiting for autumn rain because of three fishes and one bug - unfortunately even on day 20 there is no rain... this is not fun - it's something that has to be changed. autumn in real should rain 50% of time... please implement that there are at least 5 rainy / storm days during each season

It could be an easy fix with a pity system:

1. if tomorrow is event day: sunny
   
2. if it hasn't rained for 10 days: raining
   
3. if it wasn't windy in the past 10 days: windy
   
4. if it wasn't stormy in the past 10 days: stormy
   
5. roll weather as now

This way you would have atleast 2x windy and 2x raining weather each month.

I fully agree... currently day 24 of fall, no rain yet. just 2x wind...
