How to make it rain more often?

[Stellar Remnant]

One thing I absolutely love about this game is the rain. Having grown up out in the country on a forested ranch, it is incredibly realistic and when I'm wandering through the forests of the Northwest area, it's almost like being back on the ranch I grew up at.

I'm wondering if there are any hidden config settings I can change or console commands I can use to make it rain more often? Especially if I could make it do a good old fashioned thunderstorm with sleeting rain and strong winds.

I deplore how short most of the rainstorms in this game are. I'm only getting into them and they're almost over or ending. What I really want is a toggle to have it rain constantly.

To add to this post, the only other game I've played with such good sounding rain has been Empyrion Galactic Survival, which, by the way, does have console commands for selecting weather types. Being on Akua, a starting planet, in a jungle with a storm going is simply incredible.

I don't know what it is about rain that I love so much, but I would like more of it in this game. Is there a dev console that I can access that would let me toggle the active weather?

No, there is no way to adjust weather effects.

Adjustable weather is a big wish for me too. Having the possibility to get much more variety in the length of the rainperiods would be great.

Quite a number of people in here moan about too much rain :-( After playing Vuhronga Savanna with hardly any wind and much less rain it was refreshing to return to Hirschfelden and Layton.

Heh. Yeah, I've seen people complain about rain in other games, predominantly Minecraft. I received a very sarcastic (removed) comment on this asking if I was trolling.

But yeah, I love the sound of rain and I love rain in games if it's faithfully replicated. The sound and visuals in CotW are very realistic.

I'd love adjustable weather too. From my point of view it rains too often and then for a too short amount of time.

Roughly I would like to see 3 states of weather:

1. None, dry weather with variable clouds.
2. Longer periods of rain, with variable intensity.
3. Like it is now.

If the weather engine randomizes these 3, I would be satisfied.

But since we are all different players, you should be able to select/deselect any of these 3 weather patterns.
