So in this thread I will be talking about the topic of weather. I know it has been mentioned in 800 bazillion threads but nothing seems to happen. So I am going to talk about how subnautica actually needs weather and my ideas. My first point is that 4546B (4546 is actually pretty close to my computer PIN) has clouds. Clouds are made of condensation which is just basically water. Rain is condensation so on a planet made up of roughly 97% water there has to be rain! Without rain there wouldn't be this much water! Another point that I have is current. There are also currents on 4546B which suggests the possibility of whirlpools. Oh yeah, the logs and stuff on the Islands are washed up indicating storms. Also, HURRICANES! With rain and storms comes the chance of hurricanes. These could occur near and on the Floater Island. So these are my ideas on weather. Please tell me what you think!

Eg.
Solar panels not charging
Small fish like peeper and spades hiding in caves
Predators like the reaper becoming more active
Reduce visibility
Large waves making being near the surface harder
Damaging bases near the surface?
Possible unique creatures?
Now that I think about it...this is very complex and could require weeks or months of work by the Devs. So if they do add weather systems (I hope they do) it will have to be added almost last in order to get all the other stuff working first. Then later on add the weather.
