Tornados

[Nimsosim]

Yesterday I made a comment wondering if there would be big storm events like a tornado.
Well little did I know I would be in the middle of three tornado's today being tossed around like a feather. It was pretty cool. Three tornado in a massive blizzard. Never even seen a planet like this one such huge mountains and large canopies of trees.

Tornadoes are kind of fun when you know what to expect. I have ridden a few just for fun. Be aware that being inside a cave does not necessarily mean you won't be spun around by them. Had that happen...no damage but it was a scary feeling to see all those pointy rocks flashing around me.

Of the environmental hazards, they are the most benign. Getting caught in a meteor shower will definitely add urgency to your steps. Those "bulls eyes" that show on the ground just before they hit are helpful...but also scary.

Yeah.. and it's funny how that first meteor targets the player every time. Heard the PDA announce the shower, then saw I was lit up in a target..... spot. If you stand long enough in one spot.... they seem to target the player.

Wish you could see the storms from inside looking out. Don't know if you can see the nado while looking through a window, but the storms yo can't.

I dunno if it has changed but when extreme weather events were introduced your jetpack wouldn't passively charge if you were caught in one of these, so you had to use boost sparingly. These have been a fun addition, just wish they'd make em more visible.

How can you not? And who said it?

It's more like typhoon given storm cloud seems to well up from a distance.

I died in a tornado and my gravesite is in the sky any way to reclaim my inventory?

Set a base computer, and then stack *lots* of the cube objects (doesn't have to be the cube room). Make a pyramid as necessary to jump or jetpack up to the top close to the grave. There may be an easier way in a "How to build a space tower" video.[

Even worse is it’s above my settlement so I cant build

Tornados at the settlement ?
Wow nice choice. Do they send the npcs flying ??

[chrishawn]

They do run for cover

you can build a base comp ~300u from the settlement, then you can extend the base into/over the settlement ;)
just place a part at the edge of your base's build radius and then it will push the boundary out a little... repeat this until you are under the grave and then build up
Lot of people do this so they can add to their settlements for themselves

*Spoiler* for extra silliness/fun with tornado's place couch or chair in area then sit & wait
