[40d] Dark pillars of... what?
« on: December 02, 2008, 04:10:16 am »

Hey, this is really not a high priority bug (maybe it isn't even a bug), but
I looked at the weather in adventure mode and got the following message:

"The sky above you is completely gray, with dark pillars of pressing through it.
The sun is high in the western sky behind the clouds.
There is a gentle breeze blowing from the east."
(my underline)

Anyway. I was just curious - dark pillars of what?

Yeah, that would make sense.

Dark pillars of pressing?

Some people get the best bugs. :)

Good grief, how sophisticated is the weather simulation anyway?  It's too bad the gameplay impacts of weather are so small right now.

Okay, fixed.  Those were supposed to be cumulus clouds, yeah.
