All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

We are making good progress so far, here the feature list, the ones with a 👍 are implemented.

  • Rain affects critter and fish spawns 👍

  • New Rain-exclusive fish and critters 👍

  • Unique rain ambiance for light-mid-heavy 👍

  • Rain lowers Temperature (greenhouse immune) 👍

  • Rain waters crop tiles (outdoors only) 👍

  • Weather forecast (right now rain only happens through debugger commands)

  • Skybox changes (clouds will gather before rain)

  • NPC Rain Behavior

Then comes testing and bugfixes.

We are still deciding if we will add snow or not on this update, it depends how long it will take to fine tune the rain and redo the skybox to allow for proper clouds.

Snow can dynamically change into rain if th…Community11 Sep 2026Friday Progress Report 483The clouds now change slowly when rain comes, starting about 15 minutes before the rain drops, the lighting also gets dimmer, it is subtle, but it all works well in the end. At first we wanted to make weather localized (based on biome) and change the skybox for something more cartoonish and stylized, but we are saving these alterations for later, after finishing the exploration update as these…
