I had no idea that lunar events are in the game!

I had no idea the there were Eclipses in the game! I'm riding along my elk; heading towards a Cassiterite reading. While I'm crossing the open plains. I notice that it is getting darker...at 8 in the morning. I honestly kind of panic for a moment and then thats when my gaze drifts towards the sky and I saw this:

Honestly one of the best moments in the game for me! I love how the game also makes me connect with real life, I mean I can totally now understand why people used to think that this was the work of the gods!

200+ hours and I'm still discovering new things! Amazing

Yeah, they really are something to see. Especially since they happen naturally and so can be easily missed by being under ground, having a cloudy sky, or just sleeping through it. Really adds to the magic of the game.

the eclipses are amazing, i hope they add more lunar events in the future, meteor showers would be cool

Yeah I caught one luckily, not seen another, I am probably mining when they happen though I try to keep an eye on where the moon is so I hopefully catch another.

In fairness, I think they are even rarer now than they were before, thanks to some tweaks to the lunar cycles. Previously, they would happen roughly a couple times per year in the spring and the fall, and did not take the moon's phase into account. Now the eclipses should only be happening with a new moon that is close enough to cover the sun completely(partial coverage is possible but produces no visible effects).
