Weather and smoother sun moving

[SendromTV]

I want to ask if Coffee Stain Studios will create weather to Satisfactory. If I imagine raining, storm or wind in this game I feel like a little kid :D and second question: If clouds (sky) and sun moving will be upgraded. I think that this ultimate game deserves better sky and sun graphics.

I think that it would be possible, would be pretty easy to do with Unreal Engine, not sure of copyright laws and stuff, but they could do it. However, we call people that stared at the clouds and the sky, instead of performing their Pioneering duties Skylarkers, or Skylarking, is that what you are admitting guilt to? The punishment is keel hauling you know, keel hauling in space is very dangerous, have you seen all of those crashed landing pods around, those are cover-ups for this punishment, now think very carefully before answering that question, it's really important. The Planetary Judicial Department would be very interested in it.

Fixing he stuttering of the sun & shadows would be nice.

Without going too Crysis here, I think it's doable and would be great, but I seem to remember that the devs aren't much interested in it. At least not before 1.0.

I would love hearing the sound and seeing the rain while exploring or even building. It kinda gets a little boring with only sun and clear skies all the time. :D

Weather is amazing in almost any outdoor game, but it is also a huge challenge to add things like rain or the effect of wind on foliage in a game that is already facing so many challenges in regards to optimization and keeping a good framerate. Would it be great? Absolutely. But spending tons of time on it before your game's core features are finished and when you're still working on making the game run better and longer into the endgame as-is is probably not what a dev should be doing.

I'd appreciate the sun motion being smoothed. Every shadow I see out of the corner of my eye while I'm exploring scares me because it doesn't move smoothly, so I regularly mistake them for enemies.
