Weather is an environmental modifier.

Summary[ | ]

The Weather influences the intensity of the present environmental hazard. Weather conditions can be sorted into several general categories (Note that all environmental hazard values are approximate).

  • For a list of weather types, see weather types.
  • for a list of weather types for each biome, refer to the specific biome pages.

Protection against hazards[ | ]

NmsShip HUD HazardBars

Hazard bars for cold, hot, and radioactive climates

There is insulation in your suit that protects you from these dangers; once it wears out you will start to take damage.

To recharge it you must go to a location sheltered from the specific hazard (for example, a cool place on a hot planet). Caves often serve this purpose if they can be found. Exosuit insulation can also be upgraded to last longer.

Extreme hazard planets[ | ]

As of 1.03 there are extreme hazard planets that contain exclusive and powerful hazards. Those can be found in planets where the weather text appears in red font.

Atmospheric Events[ | ]

As of Origins, there are five atmospheric events that can occur in conjunction with an ongoing storm. With this update, the Exosuit can now take advantage of the extreme conditions: superheated temperatures can be processed into improved jetpack efficiency; freezing temperatures prevent Mining Beam overheating; high radioactivity increases mining yield; dense toxic gases can be recirculated for additional stamina[1].

  • Firestorms
    • Occur on extreme temperature worlds
    • Fire will damage players if they get too close
    • Fire dissipates after a storm subsides
  • Gravitational Event
    • Occur on anomalous planets
    • Will exhibit sudden low-gravity shifts on the planet's surface
  • Lightning
    • Can occur with any storm
    • Can occasionally strike the ground near the player and cause damage
  • Meteor Showers
    • Can occur independently of a storm at the horizon, or as it's own event close to the player
    • Meteoroids can damage the player, with the strike zone being indicated with a red circle on the planet's surface
  • Tornadoes
    • Can rarely occur with storms, and is indicated with an "extreme wind event" Exosuit warning
    • Will pick up nearby players and creatures
