Weather warnings and environmental load
Read the warning and seek the right shelter. Wind, visibility and suit protection can change together, but not every storm can occur on every world.
These guides describe the October 23, 2026 development version. The older download with the same version number is missing later features.
React to the warning
Weather changes wind, visibility, scanner reach, precipitation and protection drain through separate inputs. Shelter and appropriate equipment matter. Planet eligibility, event tier, scheduling and configuration determine whether an event occurs; this list does not make every weather type possible on every planet.
All warning and duration values below are seconds, distinct from recipe ticks or suit FE/tick.
| Event | Warning (s) | Duration range (s) | Effect flags |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sandstorm | 45 | 150–300 | wind, fog, hazard |
| Heat flare | 40 | 90–180 | hazard, day only |
| Blizzard | 45 | 150–300 | wind, fog, precipitation, hazard |
| Acid rain | 40 | 120–240 | fog, precipitation, hazard |
| Ion storm | 40 | 120–240 | fog, precipitation, hazard |
| Meteor shower | 60 | 90–180 | hazard |
| Spore bloom | 30 | 120–240 | fog, hazard |
| Volcanic eruption | 60 | 150–300 | fog, hazard |
| Fog bank | 20 | 180–360 | fog |
| Solar flare | 60 | 60–120 | hazard, day only |
| Tidal surge | 45 | 90–180 | fog, hazard |
| Aurora | 0 | 240–480 | cosmetic, night only |
| Dust devils | 20 | 120–240 | wind, hazard |
| Wind shear | 30 | 120–240 | wind, fog, hazard |
| Tremor | 10 | 20–60 | cosmetic |
| Squall | 30 | 120–240 | wind, fog, precipitation |
Use life support to distinguish oxygen from thermal/toxic protection and sealed habitats to assess shelter. Positionless tidal calculation uses noon; NPC ships are not wind-pushed. Those limits prevent broad promises about every wind or day-side interaction.
Client weather presentation and server event settings have different scope. The configuration guide links the captured spec, including its reload/persistence uncertainty.
