ARK: Survival Evolved

Olympus
Underwater Fog and Other Things
I've noticed that the impenetrable fog that falls on the map occasionally, while a fun if low-impact feature from the survival aspect, also extends underwater and infinitely into the sky.
I don't know if the game's climate mechanisms are dynamic enough to control it, but it doesn't make sense that the fog would extend into the water. Is it possible to change this?

Additionally, I have noticed that underwater structures (i.e., the large rocks) tend to draw after the terrain underneath, and also often after the dinos themselves. That may be an artifact of my own settings, but I thought it was worth noting.
Dinos also have a tendency to spawn inside those giant rocks; I do not know if that happens on other maps because this is the only one I've seen where the dinos draw before terrain structures.

Finally, are there plans to make the volcanos on Death Island IVO the dragon spawns active at any point? I'm not partial either way, just asking for informational purposes.

I should be able to fix the underwater fog, have to dig into the level blueprint and see what controls it's starting height. Can also increase the draw distance of underwater rock formations and will see what can be done about creatures spawning inside of the formations :) Might not all make it into the next update but will get them fixed up over the next few :) The volcanoes will remain inactive on the surface, but will be adding volcanic caverns beneath them.

as an addition is it possible to toggle/control this feature as in every few game days with a server option would be nice to control how frequently its happening big thumbs up for the work loving the map ;)

Thanks :) Not sure how hard this would be to implement, but can look into it as well.
