Weather Events [MP Compatible]

Description
Weather Events
Events will only trigger at midnight (12AM) in-game but will persist through reboots.
Due to game limitations the weather events only trigger at 12AM, you can however set the duration to run for multiple days and it will persist after restarting the server.

Current features
  • Blizzards

  • Thunderstorms

  • Duration in hours of how long the event will run for

  • Added "Infinite" duration option if you want an event to effectively run forever, this will persist through reboots

  • Start and end month
    Weather events will only trigger on certain months for example, you could set blizzards from September to December. Set starting month to January and end month to December to run weather events all year round.


Note that for blizzards to create snow the temperature needs to be low enough, you can use mods such as Monthly Climate to change this for now, I will add the option to adjust temperatures in a future update.

More features will be added over time, if you have any suggestions let me know.

Do these weather events occur randomly or only when specifically started by the player?

Hmm, we had it start on our server. 8 Hours set. It got triggered and my users said it lasted for a few days "Like 3" not 8 hours. The console also shows it applying the 'weather' like 3 or 4 times over the log, which I assume is the day continuing the weather. Well at least I know it works to a degree :o but I thought it's supposed to only happen once for 8 hours and then stop until some time again later..

also im unsure on what the trigger meaning here is, does it only occur if i the admin trigger it?
when does it automatically happen, if its set from january to december like default, disabled trigger every day, duration 12hrs. i'm confused on what makes it happen/occur? Also it's either storm OR blizzard right? Sorry for the questions, amazing looking mod just wondering how it works like this

does it work with KYA Real Weather mod? it should right since that one seems to govern the severity of temperature, not so much events

Hello ! If I don't want events not to begin on 12AM everyday, may I set on false trigger1 and trigger2 ?

Weather extremes are a good concept.
They don't have to be percipitation.
A heat wave, a cold snap.

Periods of extreme weather that change the game mechanics and force the players to adapt to difference in gameplay.
Not sure how viable it's to modify cars to slide more, get stuck in muddy terrain when it's rainy for a long time.
Overheating already works, but also stuff catching fire spontaneously if there's a hot dry summer.
Warm wet summer means infections are common and wounds start rotting fast.
Winter can have normal snow, blizzard or a warm period, during the warm period in the winter, snow melts, but days are short and it's really dark almost all the time.


Definitely would be fun to prepare for the variety of weather extremes that can happen at random.

Hello there, thank you for making this mod! :hearts:
I have a question. Does this mod work with "The Darkness is coming!"?
Have a nice day! =)

Good suggestion, but instead of splitting into multiple mods I'll perhaps look into having completely separate options for blizzards and storms so you can enable both, as the sandbox options are fairly limiting I'll put a disclaimer on the sandbox options page that overlapping weather event dates won't work.

If they do overlap I'll probably just RNG which one happens, this way if people want a random combination they can do so.

For people mentioning you don't see the sandbox options, make sure you enable the mod manually in your game first before editing the server options, mods need to be enabled in order for their options to be seen.
