Note the frame rate and limitations of GIF are not ideal for showing off this subtle effect.
A. I spent days putting together a scheme that could generate the rain splashes with only a negligible performance hit. I have provided a Dub's Performance Analyzer profiling in the gallery above.
Q. But my game starts lagging when it rains.
A. This is a common problem in Rimworld and would happen with or without this mod. The lag is not graphical in nature but rather all the gameplay mechanics that start happening in response to rain (deterioration, pawn reaction, etc).
Q. I don't see any splashes.
A. They only show up on hard surfaces like ones made of metal or stone.
Q. Puddles?
No puddles or filth to clean up, this is purely a graphic-only mod.
- Save game compatible, as this mod does not touch your save file.
- Regarding mods that add weather, they should work fine since rainfall is just a global stat all weather types use.
- No known incompatibilities.
