Will there be air pollution in the future?
Maybe visually.
The new weather being back, which also, thank god for that, it's been fantastic playing with weather.
Weather being back is now, you know, allowing us to put more effects in the game if we want to.
It'll be work, I mean, yeah, we have to create assets for whatever else.
Snow, maybe?
Smog, maybe?
Um...
Tornadoes?
Fuck do I know?
Hail?
We do have a system that would support all of these what is being added now.
It would still be aesthetic, but it would be.
So, in terms of sheer aesthetics, yes, it's possible in the future.
We have the means for it now.
For mechanical purposes,
This could be a case of you think you do, but you don't.
Now, I am referring to a old Blizzard meme that got memed to hell and back, because once the community got what they thought they didn't want, they loved it to pieces, which was classic WoW, by the way.
Temperature, or air pollution, or fatigue, heat, anything, may sound cool on paper,
But we all hate when the fuse blows.
We all hate when the... Don't we guys have phones?
Satisfactory Phone Game 1.
Don't we all hate when the fuse blows and the power needs to be taken care of?
Like the... Not arbitrary, power is absolutely a planned part and a very functioning part of the core loop of how Satisfactory plays.
But having another layer of something to take care of before you can start production again would most likely annoy you way faster than you think.
So if there are mods, which there are, for additional layers of maintenance before you can start producing, try those out first and come back to me with if you want air pollution being mechanically involved.
If it's just for visuals, it's absolutely possible.
Now that we have a framework for weather back in the game again.
