Overcast controls the cloud coverage. Higher values mean darker clouds and increased chances of rain.

Quick Start Guide

New to weather configuration? Here's how to get started:

Start with a preset from the dropdown menu to get familiar with the system
Use the preview feature to test your changes before saving
Make small adjustments to understand how each parameter affects the weather

Understanding Weather Parameters

Overcast (Cloud Coverage)

Controls cloud density and affects rain probability
Range: 0 (clear sky) to 1 (fully cloudy)
Must be above 0.6 for rain to occur
Values above 0.9 enable storm effects

Fog

Affects visibility distance and atmosphere
Range: 0.02 (light fog) to 1.0 (dense fog)
Most effective during dawn and dusk
Consider longer transition times for realistic fog effects

Rain

Controls precipitation intensity
Range: 0 (no rain) to 1 (heavy rain)
Requires minimum overcast of 0.6
Affects player visibility and sound

Wind

Controls wind speed (0-20 m/s) and direction (-π to +π)
Affects tree movement and sound propagation
Higher values create more dynamic environments
Influences particle effects like rain and fog

Storm

Creates lightning effects and intense weather
Requires overcast above 0.9
Density affects lightning frequency
Timeout controls time between strikes

Best Practices

Set realistic transition times to avoid sudden weather changes
Consider player experience when setting extreme weather conditions
Balance weather variety with gameplay impact
Keep storm settings moderate to maintain game balance
Weather is a finicky file to play with. If you don't get your expected results, give it time, it can take many cycles to update.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue	Possible Solution
No rain appearing	Check if overcast is above 0.6
Weather changes too quickly	Increase transition times
Storm not triggering	Ensure overcast is above 0.9
Fog too dense	Reduce fog value below 0.05
