Get your fog out of my game

[RandalMcdaniel]

Finally after finding nothing but hundreds of EMPTY planets i finally find "forest" biome and you cant even see the damn thing. Even with weather Clear 5 command.

Im 33 yrs old and ive lived in multiple different states, i think i have seen fog in real life a grand total of maybe.. 4 times? Why does it just HAVE to be in every single modern video game by default? Like its no big deal..

Nothing ruins graphics more than fog. NOTHING. Please stop. It looks horrible.

It took me dozens of hours of deleting files just to be able to disable the fog in prototype 2. Now im dealing with in empyrion?? The one game i thought would always be clear. Such a nightmare!

You're on a forest moon? They are usually foggy.
You literally chose the foggiest temperate-like planet or moon you could possibly find.

I hear you like fog . .

So we put fog . . Inside your fog . .

If green+tree+water = fog
Then do we always have to choose a desert planet as a base for a clear sky?

Fog 24/7??
Fog, if it comes at all, comes in the early morning and dissipates during the day, that's how it works.... you should not have it 24/7, that is just plain dumb and ignores how relative humidity actually works.

If you have notepad++ then you can edit the playfield_dynamic.yaml files for each playfield and change the groundfogprob: 1 to groundfogprob: 0 and that'll get rid of the fog.

Most of the playfields you only have to change that value, but some of them still have their fog settings in the Playfield_static.yaml as well, for those ones you want to change the GroundFogIntensity: setting.

Damn Fog! its really to much!
the game is pretty, why not showing it and concealing everything with fog!

its like getting a nice Haircut and then wearing the ugliest hat ever!

Just buy a pair of night vision goggles.

No.
The forest moon is a specific type of moon. It often has a lot of fog.
Temperate planets only have a 1 in 4 chance of having fog.

The volumentric headlights have at least made the night vision goggles relevant, I will give them that.

oh another thing, sometimes i will find a clear planet, but the headlights of my CV/SV have fog in them still

itslike..fog..infused into the headligthts themselves. Which is so bad looking and weird

the only time ive ever seen fog used well in a game is well.. Never.

I dont remember crying about this when i did a playthrough like 3-4yrs ago.

Its fogged up

Yes, a lot of people don't like how headlights are handled in empyrion. They're pretty useless in their current implementation.

But that aside, I personally don't mind fog too much, besides it happening too often in too many biomes.

Being one of those people who did not like the new lighting, I just shut it off in settings. Much better, not perfect but much better. ;)
