Storms shouldn't deal damage to health

[Sapient6]

Just realized my second most hated aspect of storms: the siren and on-screen warnings. I'd absolutely love a toggle for that in game and server settings.

The siren would be fine if it actually came from the trader's loudspeaker so that you would hear it if close to a trader but not if you were far away... just like when they announce opening and closing. Hopefully, when the new UI is implemented there will be options for what shows on the screen and what doesn't. It would be great if it was fully customizable rather than all or nothing like we have now with F7.

I would very much not like this. After a dozen storms there will be a lot of debris that will interfere with movement.

They could make the debris disappear automatically after a period of time, similar to corpses. Then you wouldn't need to clean up if you didn't want to. Or they could just not have debris. I do like the idea of flying/rolling debris even if it doesn't remain after it hits something, though. What I wouldn't really like is having to continually repair my bases, so maybe it shouldn't harm anything other than the player, or perhaps the vehicle if the player is in the vehicle.

I was thinking something similar, Since it would mostly be for visual enhancement
Why not use expanded distance multiple screen overlays, and shadergraph, to create
an artificial 3d parallax view of the debris. With collision detection, and preset gibs,
like when whacking a body, or getting some wood from a log. I would love to see
tumbleweed again in the desert.

Would love to see the storms building up in the distance then proceed to approach you, overtaking you as you try to out run it on your bike.

I got it, need a CAT 5 Fecal Matter storm, due to all the decomposure (think I made that up) in the world.

Now add two recipes, pressure washer and water hose.

That way you can clean base. Would be faster that repair.

Brings up another idea.... After a blood moon there should be...... Well blood every where....get it?

Amazing what two glasses of wine will do for the imagination.
