Too Much fog

[sirkipalot]

Dense is an understatement! Lasts too long cannot do a single thing. I have like many a limited play time and I don't think it is very productive to just sit and wait for the wall of grey to clear and then another one descends a few seconds after. Everyday is fog day it's just over kill. I could understand if you could see something or a limited visibility but it is just a "pea-souper." Thick green/grey mess. Do we really need it 7 days a week???

I rarely see fog, so no idea what your issue is. Do you use mods?

[Menzagitat]

I like fog in games :)
If some players have fog often and others no fog at all, maybe is biome specific.
I am not sure where I would settle, because no fog at all or 7 days fog are both bad.

Think the atmosphere, as much as it's annoying, is really a strong point of this game.

The problem I have with it is it seems much more likely to trigger in an artificial manner when you're exploring new areas.

The game could use an option for the player to adjust fog settings. I removed ground fog with a mod because I couldn't see where the ore was.

I rarely saw it in my first seed pre-H&H, but I feel like I see it a lot more often now, and yeah it can be pretty dense. I sort of like it but I get how someone who is short on time might be annoyed.

it is ridiculously thick. there is no "light fog" in the game. it's either a clear day or youre totally blinded. you also cannot see the fog from the distance to avoid it as weather affects whole biomes at a time. Sometimes it lasts a really long time, too. I haven't tested this but it would be interesting if wind blew fog around so you could navigate around it where it appeared.

env clear = clean air
env -1 = resets environment back to system defaults.

I agree. The fog and such drastically adds to both the atmosphere and immersion in general.

As for artificially happening.. I'm not sure; maybe.

@OP: wait until you get to the Mountains.. snowstorms are much more frequent than fog. :)

Also a Frames per second killer near any fire.

Generaly fog is anoying to me only when i go look for new land as you may end up hitting the coast of plains and get killed by a moskito. So its a waiting game.

Mistlands should be even more foggy and part of mehanic when new patch hits.

Personaly i will take a fog over the rain.

I really love the fog in this game. I think there should be creepy mobs that move through the fog as well. That would be really spooky.

[Macdallan]

I like the fog, too, but if it's obstructing things too much it may be a glitch or issue with some settings, or due to how a certain card or software deals with fog.

The game goes thru cycles, simulating weather of course, clear day, rain, wind, thuderstorms and lighting and fog make the game immersive/alive and what it is. Just keep going about what your doing, I do. rarely ever do I allow any weather to mess with what I am doing, either sailing or building and fighting, in fact some of my most favorite combat experineces in Valheim is in the plains at night with fog and or day time with thick fog, sailing during this time also is really cool.

fog i believe in reality is a ground and air temp difference and generally in low areas close to ground maybe move to higher ground I live on a penninsula aka the great lake state we get fog that bad for real, Really fun to drive in ,its kind of cool to be moving about in the fog in the game and look outside and see the same weather lol

That should do nicely thanks. And thanks for all the comments. Perhaps it might be because I use mods. Which does have a remove fog command but it doesn't work and renders console commands not to work in game. But it does seem everytime I am going to build something the bank of fog suddenly appears and when I say thick I cannot place one stone on top of the other as visibility is 0 .
