WanderingStoryteller Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 (edited) I saw in the latest devlog that eclipses will now affect light levels. What if a handful of other events were also added? These include: Occasional shooting stars Rare meteor shower Very rare meteor storms The meteor storms could just be ambient or possibly very rarely a small meteorite entity is spawned in the air that reaches the ground. Where it lands, maybe a small number of meteoric iron bits spawn on the surface. Yes, it could be confused for the game’s normal, larger meteor crash site but it would not have the soil impression and impact rocks, and it would be amazing to relive my mom’s actual experience of seeing a meteorite fall onto a lakeshore and being able to pick up that small chunk of metallic meteorite. Even if the latter is not added, falling stars and meteor showers would be really cool to add. Edited August 10 by WanderingStoryteller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyWYT Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Shooting stars is definitely something I would expect to see sometime in the future. I also like the idea of being able to find a small chunk of meteoric iron on the ground every once in a while. The other idea I'd throw on the table is constellations, although I'm not sure how this would be calculated with the world generation. It would definitely make for more immersive nighttime navigation though. The main concern I would have is the game's calculation of hemispheres and latitudes potentially throwing things off. However, having latitude, hemisphere, and even seasons affect which constellations can be seen would be awesome. Lunar eclipses would be another candidate to add to the list. There's probably more things that could be potentially added, but they aren't coming to mind at the moment. Also, welcome to the forums! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StCatharines Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 The Meteoric Expansion mod does more or less what you're suggesting and picturing. I find it absolutely necessary for every playthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WanderingStoryteller Posted August 10 Author Report Share Posted August 10 (Thanks for the welcome LadyWYT!) Over the years with the other block game, I have played with many cool mods which have had their coders move on, and such is life. The mod you suggested may give me something like my suggestion now but I’m hoping to see many updates to Vintage Story to come so the same thing may happen to any mods I become attached to now. For at least this suggestion in particular, I think it could be a good fit for the base game, something to carry on into the future of the game’s development. Thank you, though, StCatharines, for telling me about the mod! X D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 The identified mod can have meteors crash into the area. Be careful as the holes they create a quite large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
