I want to bend the very elements of nature to my will! (This is about weather)

Now, before I begin, yes, I’m aware that on the admin panel there are value inputs for weather severity, fog, wind, etc. I am also aware that every time I try to change those settings they reset back to default when I close the panel and nothing happens.

With that out of the way, I was wondering how feasible it would be to allow single players and server admins to change the weather via server settings. Say, rain frequency, thunderstorm frequency, what have you. Given how many comments I’ve seen about the constant rain in certain areas of the map, I can only imagine that the ability to tailor the weather to one’s preferences would be a most welcome feature. Not to mention it would probably be very handy for server admins if they want certain weather to set the mood for an event or something.

some server settings will only apply with a new game.
I don’t know if this still works, but here is a workaround from last year.

go into your saves folder, back up your game.db, I add mine to a zip folder.
create a new game, with the server settings you want.
replace the new game.db with the one you archived.
