    I was wandering this planet, where this type of weather in nearly constant, and I noticed something strange
    Gravel Weather in Starbound.jpg
    Along with the ridiculous wind and the leaves, there seems to be some sort of gravel that falls with it, and accumulates on any surface slanted towards the wind. I'm not entirely sure what this is. Is it because of the little dots in the wind that are presumably pebbles? Interesting weather definitely. I might build a base here. What do you think of this weather? any ideas on what it is?

    Makes me wonder if that stuff can bury that planet on the long run. xD

    It looks great. They could use some of those efects to make a sandstorm.
    EDIT: I haven't played the nigthly builds, are sandstorm alredy ingame?

    Eroded rock particles, being trasported by the wind, and setling down.

    With wind so freaking strong, this is actualy kinda plausible, and in a Geological Standpoint, suprising to be in the game, as its actualy acurate aswell.

    Basic Geology, Wind errodes rocks, particles are transported by the wind, and if the wind is strong enough, those particles can be moved by its force (basic geology classes ftw!)

    Its actualy amazing thats ingame,gotta try out the nightlies a lot more!

    I've encountered several planets with that kind of weather. It was interesting and cool at first but after a while got a little annoying.

    *Sounds of emphatic agreement*

    This was a brand new Character, and I didn't have any armor yet, and the leaves blocked my vision a lot, so I got killed several times on this planet

    Hm, the planets I visited on Tier 1 had only rainstorms and some other basic stuff :(

    Count yourself lucky, my first character started out on a planet that was constantly hailing meteors
