Frequently asked questions

How do I know when a storm is coming?
Build a radar block and use a handheld tablet to watch storm systems approach on the map, or place a tornado siren nearby to receive audio warnings before severe weather hits your area.
What's the best way to protect my base from tornadoes?
Use the reinforcement wrench on your structures to strengthen them against high winds, and combine this with a solid base design—weak blocks like wood will be destroyed or picked up by tornadoes regardless of reinforcement.
Do I need to do anything special to prepare for a blizzard or sandstorm?
Stock up on supplies before the storm hits since visibility drops drastically, and stay indoors or in a shelter—the extreme conditions will slow you down and make navigation nearly impossible.
How do weather sensors and vanes work?
Place them around your base to measure local wind speed, rainfall, and cloud coverage in real time; this data helps you predict when conditions are about to worsen.
Can I see the storm on a map before it reaches me?
Yes—build a radar station and check the tablet to view different map layers showing wind speed, cloud coverage, and storm movement paths across your world.
What happens if I get caught outside during a tornado?
Your camera will be pushed around violently by the winds, and you risk being hit by flying debris and blocks; seek shelter immediately or use the siren system to know when to take cover.
Do tornadoes actually destroy blocks or just push them?
Tornadoes pick up blocks and throw them as debris, causing real damage to structures in their path—reinforced blocks are more resistant but not immune.
Why does thunder take so long to hear after I see lightning?
The mod simulates realistic sound travel based on distance, so distant lightning strikes will have a delay before you hear the thunder, just like in real life.
Will snow and sand pile up on my base during storms?
Yes, heavy storms will accumulate snow and sand on the ground and on surfaces, which can bury structures if storms are frequent or severe in your world.
Do the 3D clouds and camera effects affect performance?
The volumetric clouds and wind camera effects are visually intensive; if you experience lag, check your graphics settings or reduce render distance to improve performance.
