    Hi folkes, today's weather forecast in the world of starbound,is giant lightning bolts and magical feathers what makes anyone who is outside float and seem light as a feather. Well that's my ideal weather, so folkes what weathers would you like to see in the game? and if there's a weather machine we could pick are weather as we see fit. Maybe there is only certain biome's we can explore only if the correct weather is activated from the weather machine.

    Could of been a bit more imaginative, but for a realistic weather in the game i think the leaves blowing around would be a nice touch.

    Well, if there is weather, and apparently we will be able to control it (let us earn it first), I am hoping that weather will have effects upon the landscapes, as well as allow us to control if the weather is cosmetic or not. Like if I find an autumn like planet, I hope that leaves will fly around.

    But heres the thing, if weather is purely cosmetic, I'm perfectly fine with that. Even though it wouldn't have the effect that I would hope for upon the landscape, just having that rain or hail could make the game just that more pretty. But umm.... guys, chucklefish, if you're listening, please make it so that rain doesn't lag like crazy. With lots of love, Dynafols.

    As for the weather I'd like to see it so that theres only a few different types of rains, like rain, snow, hail, acid rain, etc, but have it so that the rain is say a different color or a different texture with each planet. Or maybe even allow us to change the colors of the rain. But even better, have it so that we have to go out into the world and find the different types of water for our crazy weather mischief. I don't know about you guys, but I'd like to be able to go out into the world, and build and find everything from the ground up.

    I would like to seem some natural disaster grade weather events. hurricanes, tornadoes, Blizzards, full-on Firestorms. Things that could pose a threat to my build-athons, namely the fruits of my labors.

    Yeah nice dude! So basically also I think what would be cool is if the weather machine acted like a crafting bench so when you approach it what ever items you have in your inventory obviously rare ones! Your crafting menu will come up with the weathers you can create only if you have the required items of course.

    Yeah nice idea. So built farms could get destroyed, let's blame the weather man's forecast if that happens!

    I don't think thats the best idea, thats what I call, "Dynamics Unwanted". I think instead the best thing for the case of devastating weather related disasters should be mainly on planets that you just find, and have the ability to choose to make that planet your home and control the issue at hand. Also maybe you could get distress signals from a village on such planets who needs to leave because the disastrous storm is effecting them.

    I would like two types of worlds, weather wise. oil, and lava. all water is replaced with oil or lava. so you have oil rain, (that would be like obleck.) and lava rain, oil/lava mist, falling stone, (solidified lava) you name it.

    Not sure If i feel the same way on meteorological events. Things like floods, wind storms, and other erosive weather could expose ruins, crash sites, metals, super organisms that lust for colony destruction. The only example I can give would be Terraria's meteor impacts, which were hazardous, not full blown calamities, which a world could use to limit " Softness". Lets be honest, I find random High energy events to be the most exiting- nothing excites more than a firestorm.

    Firestorms are basically never ending creepers.

    I want the ability to turn firestorms OFF. If I worked hard enough to get to a point where my planet is a perfect harmony, I want to have the ability to keep it that way.

    I feel the same way for brush forest's. whats your thoughts on hurricanes and swamps?

    Really? Really?! I almost forgot about katrina >-<

    Umm, swamps are fairly decent, but I don't really see to many games portray an very accurate picture of swamps to often. Hurricanes aren't exactly to bad because of the rain, its really the wind you have to worry about when out in the open. The real problem about hurricanes is the erosion they have, which can break down levees seperating land and water. Katrina wasn't that bad of a hurricane in total honesty, it was really a lot of dumb choices. Bush put some idiot in charge of our safety because of his political deals to get votes and support, and well... that didn't work out to well because our already filthy city was flooded.

    I don't really think they implant hurricanes, I think they should put in different levels and strengths of storms and rain.

    Putting aside the obvious things like hurricanes, firestorms and all the like, it would be nice to see some more bizarre weather. Things along the line of 'Literal' acid rain or some form of static disturbance that would effect your energy recharge or energy-based weapon effectiveness. Could even go as far as to consider core fluctuations which would make the gravity unstable, much cooler than an earthquake.

    We're going to be travelling between various planets. So lets make it a little more dangerous and a little more bizarre!

    Really interesting idea that the weather will change your weapons and the elements.
