Caves/Weather on screen Cloud/Fog

Never build on a world where it’s really bad huh?

Agreed. I find it jarring and I loose my immersion in the game.

Let me add something here. As much as I dislike this with a passion when I’m building, I do find it less bad when I’m out on an exo, gives it a bit more difficulty, tho those hard edges need to go there too…

omg yes…please, please get this fixed.
seems crazy having such beautiful worlds to build and explore then shove opaque white fog right in your face.

Do you have the Glow boon in the screenshot from that link (as @Gorillastomp has shown in the first post)?

In my opinion, I think it’s only a problem when the light is coming from the player. Is there a way to make it more transparent when the light originates from the player?

Sometimes the fog is just to thick.
If you are chiseling in a complete dark room all black brick for example. You turn on a light. Problem with the fog is you see just as much what you are doing without the light source (hand, epic, around you). You have to use the green outline you get and keep guessing if you are doing it right.

Don’t get me wrong don’t mind the fog when it happens but it can be very annoying and hindering when it blocks your view.

Yes I do. The self-illu skill also works the same as glow boon.
If there is no glow boon, the fog will just disappear as perfect as it should be.

what i find difficult is that that it is setup as a thin vertical element. As a result - you can inch forward and come out of the fog and see clearly - and then go back in and back out. This is not horrible when moving slowly. When moving fast - its like setting off a strobe lamp. I can understand why some complain of motion sickness.

I think the current game mechanic of hindering vision (e.g. fog) should be worked on to improve it so the fog is 1) not indoors - 2) smoother in its appearance - so it doesn’t create strobbing when moving.

This drives me insane all the time especially when gathering goo in caves with lava in…

Couldn’t agree more with this.

KOL HUROO!

not an edit: Really? It doesn’t count as a complete sentence?

has this been dialed back from that last mini update we had the other day?
was mining and suddenly realised had a little mist around me but nothing like before and can’t remember encountering any of the really distracting stuff for a couple of days…

still happening for me.

We did look at improving this VFX - I’ll need to check that the improvement actually makes it into the coming release.

If you DO see this whilst Testing (after the next Testing update) then please shout.
