General Gameplay The Fog / Nebel

[LOX-TT]

Was ich mir sehr cool noch vorstellen könnte:

Nebel als neuer Wettereffekt, gerade bei Dämmerung und mit viel Bäumen wirkt das sicher richtig cool. Vielleicht sogar unterschiedliche Stärken davon (leichter Nebel/Dunst, dichter Nebel, Bodennebel)

sorry i am german, my english is not so good, so i am translate my idea with google in english:

What else I could imagine:

Fog as a new weather effect, especially at dusk and with a lot of trees that looks really cool. Maybe even different strengths of it (light mist, dense fog, ground fog)

I think this could also be like a decoration, similar to the fog machine in zoo tycoon 2.

In claire's sanctuary, on nublar north: There would be puffs of smoke in certain areas to give a sense of volcanic ash. I could see a scenery option, where you could place it in parts of the park where you would like to have feel swampy or creepy.

I don't think it should be a fog machine as a decoration. I'd rather have it as a type of weather. It present it's own challenges as driving around with a jeep could be much harder. Combine that with another calamaty going on and you've got yourself an interesting challenge.

Like the idea. Fog would be a nice touch. A medium or higher altitude fog could make it harder for the chopper to perform. Get some kind of pilot audio saying they cant track the escaped animal because of the thick fog. Leaving you helpless to stop the carnage. We just need guest deaths to cost tons of money or cause more harm or restraints to your parks for it to be more meaningful though.

Why not both? have an ambient weather effect for the whole map (and option to keep it always on in sandbox) and place-able machines (could look like a feeder but is just a vent) for a low ground cover in specific areas. mix the two together and you could have a really neat SPOOKY atmosphere. would be a cool HALLOWEEN UPDATE

Man versteht, was du auf Englisch sagen willst.

I certainly like this idea, both what Pixelated Sparkster and LOX-TT said: Fog as a general weather effect (I mean, we're talking about Islands here, shouldn't they have fog anyway?) and as a scenery item the player can place in paddocks; it'd fit nicely with swamps!

I just played the Claire's Campaign DLC again and the smokey/mist effect from the volcano on the island really makes me wish fog was a weather effect similar to rain. It would make the weather more dynamic by offering a harmless visual change from rain. So it will be "clear skies", "fog/mist", "storms", "heavy storms", "Tornados".

And if the fog effect could be accompanied by sounds of frogs, crickets, and birds, it will just be:

I would love a global fog effect option. But the idea of local placeable fog is even more enticing. Imagine a wetland enclosure that's dark and misty and you cant see much at all and then out of nowhere a spinosaurus emerges from the fog to eat from a feeder right in front of the viewing gallery. That would look so cool.

EDIT: this would also go great with my earlier idea of placeable ruined buildings/wrecked vehicles for scenery.
