Off screen snow and rain?

    When part of my house goes off screen, snow and rain seem to come inside, especially in storms, if I can't see the wall blocking it it just storms inside, and covers everything with snow, is there a known reason/fix? Thanks in advance!

    The game loads worlds in "chunks". When things are off screen, it will unload the chunks from memory so game doesnt bog down. As a result, rain and snow can make their way into structures when half of it is cut off from an unloaded chunk.

    This is a known mechanic of the game and there is no fix to it.

    However, there is a way to mitigate it. You can use a "chunk loader" to keep your structure loaded in memory.

    Thank you, I've tried it out but it doesn't seem to stop the weather from spawning inside large structures.

    Ah, shame. Oh well I guess.

    There's a mod that prevents snow from building on your tiles inside your buildings. I use it because I generally prefer making ice castles and the snow was driving me nuts. Also prevents silt from spawning.

    For the rain, you'd probably have to get a mod to prevent flooding. Or you can just craft a drain and put it indoors.
