Weather in Haven. Sometimes, it will just randomly rain/snow in haven that will last for some time. Sometimes, severe weather conditions too like hurricanes, thunderstorms, hail, heavy snow and all that stuff.

It would be nice if we can have Night and Day in haven along with some of the environment themes (rain, snow, hail, rainbows, confetti) =0

Night and Day?

Yeah but we're in different time zones so there's a problem with that. Let's say for example, it's night in haven but it is morning in my place so it's kinda not right.

They've already got something like rain, it was used in 'Crossing the Chasm' to put out fire. This would be quite nice though

Night & Day

How about Haven time is it's own time? Conversion: 60 seconds = 1 Haven Hr, as an example.

This isn't as simple as you may think. Whilst the visual effects of rain pouring can be easily replicated by layering an animation over the screen, the environmental effects will be a bit harder to create.

These will be done by:
a) Placing Shaders over all the objects. Not sure how much effort will be needed to create the Shaders though.
b) Creating entirely new objects replacing the current ones. Not sure if the effort >= effect created.

It will take up too much of OOO time simply to update the havens to the current weather, and if the weather effects
will work anything like they do in minecraft...you can except computer constipation.

The whether can be randomly determined depending on the season, can't it?

Isn't Haven full of surprises? Why not random?
