So I'm in mid Spring of my second Year and my lightning rod has not collected a single battery since i placed it in summer of last year. Can i just replace whatever file governs rain with the one that governs storms without a problem? or can someone mod it so Storms happen more often? Thanks
http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/storm-zoryns-mods-fishingmod-movementmodifier.108756/ Check Zoryn's RNG mod. You can increase stormy days percentage. Just make sure the total sum is 1, or It won't work.
There is a way to 'summon' rain that you have access to later in the game. It's a bit frustrating in the beginning, sure, when you want/need rain (for Battery Packs, certain fish for Bundles, etc.), but ConcernedApe does alleviate the RNG of rainy days in the 'end-game.'
