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.

any chance we can get this updated for b42? :spiffo:

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.

yeah, split this in to two mods so we can have both.

What if I want to have blizzards in winter AND storms in summer? Could you maybe spit this into two mods: one for each type of weather event?

i also can't see the config in sadbox :)
Anisoptera 5 Nov, 2023 @ 12:00pm 
ı can't see the options on server sandbox settings as well.
Bigfoot567ko 5 Nov, 2023 @ 8:15am 
i cant see the mod's command tab in the sandobox options, am i missing something?

random events in set months

did you try hour events?
tr1ck 3 Nov, 2023 @ 6:12pm 
You can use EveryHours with ZombRand to determine the chance of event occurring instead of EveryDays if you wanna get around that 12 am restriction.

Hello!
Looks like a good combination for KYR Real Weathers and maybe is what I'm looking for but there's something I don't get.

If I configure it to only occur during winter (December to February for example) and I uncheck the Trigger Event Every Day, it does some sort of random choice to decide if it needs to trigger the event or not? or it will only trigger it once? I would like to trigger the event multiple times but not neccessarily every day

Can I add this to an existing save?
IndigoVizion 1 Nov, 2023 @ 2:13am 
yea heat waves would be fire.. make a reason to use the radio
Zinkoner 30 Oct, 2023 @ 2:18pm 
You could add heat waves or cold snaps, shifting the temperature in unexpected ways and forcing people to adjust their clothing to keep up.

Seems nice, added it to my favourites, maybe ill add this to my server. I had to create blizzards manually.
