Can you turn off clouds after start a game with them on ?

[-Ripper-]

I did do a google search and forum search, no clear answere.
I checked the options , can not see any for this but i might missed something.

So is there a way to turn these clouds off, because there is waaay to many of them.

There's an "I hate clouds and storms" advanced game option you can toggle either when creating a save file for the first time, or by loading a save file and opening settings. Toggling it will not retroactively apply to sectors that have already been generated (IE visited at least once), but it will apply to newly-generated sectors (IE sectors you're visiting for the first time).

So there is no way to scale down the amount of clouds generated?

I sort of like them, but would rather see them in smaller amounts/sizes. As it is a good 30% of the system is in cloud which seems a bit extreme to me considering the solar system has none. I could see a super nova system would have a lot of clouds.

That and the fact that when clouds spawn where the jump gate should be the jump gate does not spawn making it possible that some sectors are completely closed off to the player.

Would changing any of these values work?
nebulas.rules

DefaultTriangleSize = 2000
RegionSize = [10, 6]
MaxPathfindIterations = 500
MaxStasisPathfindsPerTick = 1
MinToolTipZoom = 500
StasisIgnoredNebulaTypes = [cloudy, electron]

I think it would be cooler if solar storms were implemented. Where a cloud is thrown off the star and slowly travels away from the star, causing havoc to anything it hits.

I don't believe this is true. If it is, it's bugged and I'd appreciate you sending a me a saved game.

I will check it again. If it is simply a perception error on my part I will report back.

I wanted to go to a certain system by looking at the galaxy map, I then go to the warp gate that is in the same direction in-system. But there was a giant cloud there and flying all through the cloud where the gate should have been came up with nothing. I will have to go back to that system as I used a warp gate that went to another star system.

It might be a mod thing but I have not modded anything system spawn wise other than more asteroids inside the star's corona. Sending you a save file would not be helpful since you don't have the mods I have.

I figured it out.

Apparently sometimes the jump gates in a star system are upside-down from the directions the other star systems are in when looking at the galaxy map.

So, if I want to go to a star system when looking at the galaxy map that is down and to the right, when I look at the warp gates on the star system map, the warp gate is instead on the top left (to go to the bottom right star).

sounds like you might have rotated your camera, pressing backspace should realline it to "North"

Yeah, I guess I did at some point. Sometimes my fingers don't hit the W/A/D keys correctly, and the 'never used' camera turning function being Q/E are a bit too close. I probably should deactivate those two keys because I don't like the camera turn function.

So there is no way to minimize the nebula (clouds) in a system? They can only be turned on or off? (see post #3)

Currently no, it's only a on/off setting, I'm sure you can find or even make a mod that reduces it, and modding is fairly easy so if there isn't one yet and you really do wanna reduce them you can drop by in the discord to ask for help

God to know, thanks

I already know how to make mods. Adjusting these values didn't seem to affect the cloud size and it created some graphical glitches. So I guess for the time being it is probably not possible to change the cloud sizes.

nebulas.rules

DefaultTriangleSize = 2000
MaxPathfindIterations = 500
