Made electrical storms atmospheric

Moving cloud shade, sheet illumination and ambient arcs replace lightning targeted at the player.

I replaced targeted electrical strikes with atmospheric cloud lightning. Broad moving cloud shade, sheet illumination and ambient arcs now carry the storm.

Electrical storms no longer apply targeted damage. The abrasive wind hazard retains its existing damage behavior.

“I replaced targeted electrical strikes with atmospheric cloud lightning. Broad moving cloud shade, sheet illumination and ambient arcs now carry the storm.”

The database, weather manifest and real effect preview now reflect that distinction. I corrected a cloud plane that intersected the terrain during the first render check.

Weather was evaluated separately from the accelerated economy run. I have not claimed a subjective audio review or a sustained frame-rate improvement from this presentation change.
