About the weather

How come we never see any bad weather in this game? The Degasi talk about constant pooring rain that forced them to go under water, The Altera message mentions hoping the weather holds yet we never see it.

    because weather is a feature that was planned at one point but ultimately scrapped, weather will be in below zero

    I would love it if they could add weather as a DLC for Subnautica. I'd pay. Seriously. Maybe do a KickStarter? As long as it's mentioned in the news on the Subnautica main screen, you should be able to pull that off. Perhaps offer a discount on Below Zero for backers to incentivize? It would so add to the immersion by a factor of four, at least. (Kudos to anyone who gets the reference).

    @Obraxis ^ Pretty please bring the idea up to toss around at least? Can't hurt, right?

    @Obraxis Any chance the airlocks idea will ever be reinstated in the series?

    This makes me sad. Hurry up and expand the UWE into an empire so you can make every imagination a highly polished reality!! xD

    I hope they add weather on subnautica on a later date which is in line with the story and atmosphere on the planet, not just for below zero expansion. It will be great for more immersion.

    Most people are always saying that the devs won't be updating the game anymore, but saying "We have no plans to" doesn't rule out the possibility. I would love some post-1.0 updates like the ones mentioned forever ago on the trello and through dev comments.

    As for weather, I love the idea of it. I'd love if it included Whirlpools and Currents as well, and if it effected the waves.

    AnomalyDetected on one of the updates it mentions being able to pull up attaching the Cyclops to you base that update has not happened, so there is potential.

    Best bet is a mod, tbh.
