Better and Improved Weather Continued

<h3><span style="color: #000000;">A continuation and rework of Matt998's <a style="color: #000000;" href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/betterweather" target="_blank" rel="noopener">original Better and Improved Weather mod</a>. Fixes broken/unused config fields left over from the original, adds proper climate scaling for extreme events, and expands the fog system with a layered ground-mist effect. Updated and tested for Vintage Story 1.22.x.&nbsp;</span></h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted" style="font-size: 14pt;">This <strong>mod </strong>is a complete overhaul and mathematical rebalance of the weather in Vintage Story. By synchronizing sky visuals, precipitation, fog, and wind across a structured 12-zone climate matrix.</span></p> <p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted" style="font-size: 14pt;">Rather than cluttering the game with hundreds of competing config files, this mod features 45+ carefully tuned, zero-bloat weather definitions designed to make every biome and season feel distinct, immersive, and realistic. (As far as possible without modifying the game's code)</span></p> <h2 class="ng-star-inserted"><span style="color: #3598db;"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">🔗 Compatibility</span></strong></span></h2> <p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted" style="font-size: 14pt;">This mod works strictly within Vintage Story's native weather system and does not alter core game algorithms or worldgen. It is fully compatible with any mod that does not completely replace global climate and weather generation.</span></p> <p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted" style="font-size: 14pt;">The mod is 100% safe for save files: even in the rare event of a conflict with another weather mod, the game will simply prioritize one set of configs without crashing or breaking your world.</span></p> <p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="ng-star-inserted">✅ <a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/47815" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Realistic Biome Generation</a> - fully compatible</span></span></span></p> <p class="ng-star-inserted"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="ng-star-inserted">✅&nbsp;</span><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/tasshardcorewinter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TassHardcoreWinter </a>- 90% sure they are compatible.</span></p> <p class="ng-star-inserted"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">⚠️ <a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/58437" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WeatherStory</a> - ran a test world and both mods seem to work fine together. But it requires additional testing.</span></p> <h2><strong>🌍 <span style="color: #2dc26b;">Base Synchronized Pairs (12 Macro-Zones)</span></strong></h2> <ul> <li style="list-style-type: none;"> <ul> <li data-path-to-node="17"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Arctic Arid Flurry</span></li> <li> <p id="p-rc_7beb73ec30ad48c7-137" data-path-to-node="18,1,0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Moderate Winter Snowfall</span></p> </li> <li> <p id="p-rc_7beb73ec30ad48c7-138" data-path-to-node="18,2,0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Heavy Polar Blizzard</span></p> </li> <li> <p id="p-rc_7beb73ec30ad48c7-139" data-path-to-node="18,3,0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Cool Dry Weather</span></p> </li> <li> <p id="p-rc_7beb73ec30ad48c7-140" data-path-to-node="18,4,0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Autumn Light Drizzle</span></p> </li> <li> <p id="p-rc_7beb73ec30ad48c7-141" data-path-to-node="18,5,0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Cool Gloomy Downpour</span></p> </li> <li> <p id="p-rc_7beb73ec30ad48c7-142" data-path-to-node="18,6,0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Fair Moderate Dry</span></p> </li> <li> <p id="p-rc_7beb73ec30ad48c7-143" data-path-to-node="18,7,0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Moderate Passing Shower</span></p> </li> <li> <p id="p-rc_7beb73ec30ad48c7-144" data-path-to-node="18,8,0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Summer Thunderstorm with Hail</span></p> </li> <li> <p id="p-rc_7beb73ec30ad48c7-145" data-path-to-node="18,9,0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Desert Arid Heat</span></p> </li> <li> <p id="p-rc_7beb73ec30ad48c7-146" data-path-to-node="18,10,0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Savanna Warm Shower</span></p> </li> <li> <p id="p-rc_7beb73ec30ad48c7-147" data-path-to-node="18,11,0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Tropical Heavy Monsoon</span></p> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h2 id="p-rc_7beb73ec30ad48c7-148" data-path-to-node="21,0,0"><strong>🌤️ <span style="color: #236fa1;">Additional Background Sky Options</span></strong></h2> <ul> <li style="list-style-type: none;"> <ul data-path-to-node="21"> <li> <p data-path-to-node="21,0,0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" data-path-to-node="21,0,0,0">Clear Bright Sunshine</span></p> </li> <li> <p id="p-rc_7beb73ec30ad48c7-149" data-path-to-node="21,1,0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" data-path-to-node="21,1,0,0">Overcast Gloomy Day</span></p> </li> <li> <p id="p-rc_7beb73ec30ad48c7-150" data-path-to-node="21,2,0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" data-path-to-node="21,2,0,0">Thin Cirrus Sunset Sky</span></p> </li> <li> <p id="p-rc_7beb73ec30ad48c7-151" data-path-to-node="21,3,0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" data-path-to-node="21,3,0,0">Universal Dry Clear Event</span></p> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h2><strong>🌫️ <span style="color: #3598db;">Specialized Fogs</span></strong></h2> <ul> <li style="list-style-type: none;"> <ul data-path-to-node="24"> <li> <p id="p-rc_7beb73ec30ad48c7-152" data-path-to-node="24,0,0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" data-path-to-node="24,0,0,0">Radiation Fog</span></p> </li> <li> <p id="p-rc_7beb73ec30ad48c7-153" data-path-to-node="24,1,0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" data-path-to-node="24,1,0,0">Dense Valley Mist</span></p> </li> <li> <p id="p-rc_7beb73ec30ad48c7-154" data-path-to-node="24,2,0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" data-path-to-node="24,2,
