What kinds of Rain have you seen?

    I've noticed that there are many planets with special types of rain. It adds to the variety of the planets, and it looks awesome.

    I saw acid rain on one jungle planet, which was a pain to traverse, as it constantly poisoned you. Luckily, it only rained sometimes, about a 2-3 minute rainfall.

    My home planet is a snow biome, and it has normal snow falling always, and sometimes is has BIG snowflakes, which do 10 damage each.

    I watch a meteor shower destroy an Avian marketplace one time. I managed not to get hit for the entire shower, but it devastated the entire length of it.

    Sometimes you can see a shooting star go by your planet, and it's not very common.

    My favorite type of rain that I've seen was on a normal forest planet. I was in the middle of clearing out a Glitch castle, and noticed things falling onto the roof. I went to a balcony, and saw that it was raining rainbow lights. The drops were just little bits of light that did no damage or destroyed blocks or anything, but it looked really pretty!

    Anyway, I'd love to hear more stories from you guys, but be warned, there is always a Risk of Rain.

    I've seen the Acid rain as well, didn't actually poison me, but dealt damage, unarmored (if that matters VS rain) 3-6 damage at random intervals....was really hard to explore, and I felt bad for the Avian village I was in! (NPCs aren't hurt luckily)

    Right now I'm searching for a heavy storm enabled planet, to build my home on...I love the rain, and water build up ability of the storms!

    I've also found a falling star planet myself, and made a short little video, because it was so pretty!

    Otherwise...METEOR SWARM! It totally destroyed an Apex settlement I was hanging out in, Borrowin wallpaper from.

    On all the planets I've been too, only 2 of them had some kind of precipitation:
    snow and the other had stone hail (small meteors)

    The wet kind. It kept filling up my holes.

    I also saw the sparkling, golden kind in an asteroid field. I quite liked that one.

    I hope more types of rain are added, in different strengths..Heh...Pools of acidic rain, or having the falling stars actually create some sort of glowing stone, by chance....if you find some tentacle fleshy place...Blood would be well suited to then Florans....SOOO much Blood...BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

    I've gotten acid! Sadly, no chocolate rain (yes sorry old meme). I love the rain types and hope to see more!

    The glowing rain and the purple rain look really cool.

    I've seen snow that made up a couple inches that only lasted almost a full day. Nice pictures of that too. sad it melted so quickly, but to be granted as being close to the equator as I do.

    Oh you meant in game...><

    I have seen them all, from acid rain to sparkly sunrise. Well all the ones that are in the current version...:D

    Hahahah, Lucky you, I've been buried in snow, then had it almost entirely melt, leaving tons of ice when the next wave of heavy snow came...Now the ground is mostly ice, and I can stand on a driveway and slowly just end up at the bottom of it.

    Those small meteor rain showers which happen out of nowhere, but when they happen, explosions everywhere and yeah, if those things hit you, R.I.P. However they look awesome in night!

    I thought I saw invisible rain once, but I was mistaken.

    I've seen crystal rain (yay, shiny!), meteor rain (poor Avian village), gigantic meatballs of doom rain (haha, dumb Apex), acid rain (woe is me), light rain (not actually made of light), and heavy rain (The Parish in L4D2, this stuff is serious).

    I've also seen Inferior B rain, that was so much more common than the Superior B rain.

    One of my homeworld moons is a snow planet; doesn't snow there but has both light rain and heavy rain. The heavy rain filled the depressions and made a nice little pond nearby; to bad I have to wear the snow trooper gear to not freeze.

    Hey! Why don't we start sharing some coordinates to these planets of weather and such! Create a Nature Universe Tour for each sector!

    yeah i've seen those before when I was a child... that was in new york the state... always had fun in the snow in that respects, for the exception of a few days. It is rare to see snow in the south where I am now. Mostly sleet & ice during the winter and early year months. And that is just a few days. Anyway...
