Uh, will weather be added again? I loved it. Weather was intended to land with 1.1. Uh, it didn't. We realized that, it weather went away. Rain went away first and foremost, with the Unreal Engine jump from four to five because the back end in Unreal changed with how, you know, we handled weather. like the way Unreal Engine 5 altered its back end affected how we dealt with weather in Satisfactory in early access. Um, and so we have ever since wanted to get it back, but we haven't and we've realized now that we would have to jump from Unreal Engine 5.3 to 5.4 or even further to actually make it happen. Uh, so we are looking for a window to, you know, send an engine upgrade. That is on the radar for sure. like it's not it's not not a it's not a should could happen that's on the radar. Uh and I would also say that interest is peaked in the office about more weather effects other than rain. No promises but, there's definitely we hear you. We hear you.
