Do you have access to the core files for this mod?
GUS_CHIGGINZ 22 Jul, 2023 @ 9:05pm 
Would you consider open sourcing this mod? :)

Been wanting a mod like this for a long time. Thank you for making it. Love the alert. I don't seem to be seeing any lightning on Lost Island though? 2 other people on my server have confirmed the same.

Very nice mod. Really immersive. I didn't see it stop any electrical devices yet, for now... Should that do the same thing than Electrical Thunderstorms?

love your description xD
Bushcrafter 23 Mar, 2020 @ 2:06pm 
It might not be working on Valguero?! Can't get any thunder...
Capucin 17 Nov, 2019 @ 9:53am 
No impact on you or your dinos, it's just noise and shy effects.
ƔενεσισAria🌸 5 Aug, 2019 @ 3:55am 
I rescind my prior statement, i guess some rainfalls either get so unlucky that no flashes happen or perhaps sometimes a different rainfall event happens. Working normally even with ball and alerts off. I kinda wanted to see what the ball lookedlike, so i set it's damage to 0, but i never saw it.
ƔενεσισAria🌸 3 Aug, 2019 @ 1:29am 
I seem to only get lighting randomly. When i have alerts on, i only get lighting flashes and sounds when the alert also plays, it doesn't happen every rainfall (ps: i'm on crystal isles). Maybe there's more than one type of rainfall event?
Joom 18 Apr, 2019 @ 11:02pm 
Disabling the Alerts seems to stop the weather effects completely...
DrunkMunki 25 Feb, 2019 @ 2:38am 
Can you port this to atlas?
Rogue 3 Sep, 2018 @ 4:34pm 
Great fun. Love that thunder.
StarPlant 16 Aug, 2018 @ 6:28am

Is there a way to adjust the ball lightning? say increase the chance of it?
Valkyrie Valentina 12 Apr, 2018 @ 7:07pm 
FYI we are getting storms with no rain and sometimes even white clouds is this normal?
TCHE 2 Mar, 2018 @ 1:19am 
@Alex, change the game.
Alex 29 Jan, 2018 @ 8:53am 
Hi can we have a mod to remove all lightning effects from Ark completely? The migraines have all but stopped me playing this game. Any ideas anyone?
TheS1X 11 Jan, 2018 @ 10:23am 
cool mod, added it just to my nitrado server, works fine. thnx :)

Lol people cant even read proper

"Above" is the keyword
André 18 Sep, 2017 @ 3:07pm 
I dont understand. You said "By default there is a random chance for "Ball Lightning""

and

"If you do not add .ini settings it will use the defaults listed above.
DisableAlerts=1 to disable the Audible/Text alerts
DisableBall=1 to disable the ball lightning completely

Is it by default disabled or not?
Captain Pansy 16 Jul, 2017 @ 1:17pm 
hey, could you make a mod that disables rain completely? ^_^
Rey 9 Jul, 2017 @ 1:27pm 
Can you Update the Mod please :)
TheS1X 11 Jun, 2017 @ 5:18am 
Does not seem to work...
Cipher 15 Apr, 2017 @ 1:53pm 
Yes I run this on one of my servers TheIsland map. There is no fram drops when the storms occur! Great mod 10/10 Works perfectly!
SkyDriver 9 Apr, 2017 @ 9:12am 
I tried this for a little while on the Center map. It rains too much there and the thunder gets annoying after a while. Is there any way you can make the mod so there's a "Chance" of thunderstorm when it rains, rather than a 100% chance?
Nextor 16 Mar, 2017 @ 2:19pm 
If placed on an Scorched Earth map, does it create additional rain chances - or just add lightning to the very rare rain storms that occur?
Magua 3 Feb, 2017 @ 10:36am 
Hi, can you make it so the lightning is random, so that it does not happen every rain but only some times when it rains?
Vaxure V 31 Jan, 2017 @ 10:47am 
Will this mod work with Primitive Plus?

Thanks :)

please can you add more weather badness like tornados, btw love the mod, thanks
bonanu 13 Nov, 2016 @ 3:27pm 
Loved this on my server. Just hated the warning. Changed ini file and the warning will not turn off no matter what setting its on.
EmeraldDoughnut 28 Oct, 2016 @ 8:58am 
This is one of my favorite mods for Ark, Good Job!:steamhappy:
DynamiteTiger 10 Oct, 2016 @ 4:18pm 
Still works great on The Island! About 5 of us have been playing with it on a private server and after a couple weeks, none of us have been struck by the lightening ball yet. Any chance you could upgrade this to include a chance of lightening ball occurrence?
toke.exhale 18 Sep, 2016 @ 12:23am 
This mod rocks! Love it! Makes the game so much more immersive. I paired this with the Ocean Tide mod and WOW !!
Enrell 14 Sep, 2016 @ 6:02pm 
It works on SE server?
Cryolophysis 1 Sep, 2016 @ 8:14pm 
could you make a weather mod in all, improving the look and sound of the rain, having better fog/mist, having it get a bit dark when stormy?
Mongo 1 Sep, 2016 @ 4:51pm 
Just watching the video, it sounds as though there is only 1 audio sample for the thunder and it's played constantly. Is there any variety in this, or will it get annoying really fast?

@P0k3r dont work with Total Conversion: Ark. Atmosphere. Overhaul. (A.A.O.) 2.7 why? :( please fix that

Usikava 26 Jul, 2016 @ 11:20am 
Is there a way to test specificly ball lightning? To see how does changed .ini parameters works on different structures\armors\dino's etc?
And please do release a meteor mod you've been talking about earlier in here. Catastrophic events could be a finest addition to PvE servers to keep them interesting long term.
Vocal Tune 25 Jul, 2016 @ 5:41pm 
I Personally Would want to control it myself by will if possible. Like an Alternative to destroying abandoned bases. naughty Wild Dinos, and a display of Godly power. I wouldn't have to use Pegi's mod "Admin Bomb" to clear out unwanted bush people/abandoned player bases. Even better If i could activate the storms by will. There's a mod for Lightning Spear which is the closest thing for me to use with the "ability to use lightning"

With the new fear of Lightning Balls you might have to make something for survivors to defend themselves with when outside, I understand if that's NOT going to happen though. Will a Shield be enough to Defend themselves during a storm? I haven't tried this yet because i'm busy trying to add and re-upload mods for my server to make it fun, so i'm just asking if that's alright. I also think this should Exist in vanilla, though it might be trouble some for most players, It's Interesting and funny that the destruction can be blamed by nature.
Awenydd 19 Jul, 2016 @ 9:25pm 
Great mod! Much needed forces of nature! Question: Is there any way to turn down the frequency of lightning occurrence during a storm? I sometimes get long strings of thunder & lightning back to back and they often continue a bit after the storm appears to have passed.
Ultimate Sock 17 Jul, 2016 @ 7:22pm 
Cool mod! I downloaded it to my private server, do you think you could make one like pimp my rex but without the dodu creature and additional furniture?
