Wind direction effect on environment - trees sway, smoke carried with flow, etc
It would be a really nice atmospheric addition to the game to make the trees sway when the wind is high. Currently there is a mismatch between the auditory experience (wind sounds present) the visual one.

The game pulls me out a little bit when i see my windmills rotating and the static trees, If there were actual wind effects in the game it would feel much more alive! Just a suggestion, i know there are much more important things to work on currently. Thanks for reading! -

BadRAM Merged PinnedThe smoke from bakeries and grills always goes straight up, it's a little boring. Since wind direction and speed is already a thing in the game, it'd be nice if the smoke particles were blown accordingly.

Mike Schmdit Merged PinnedI love the water dynamics and looking at the windmills, I can tell that there is something going on. Any chance of getting the trees to blow in the wind, maybe if the wind is over a certain threshold? Could be very GPU heavy though. Just a thought.

Jamie CI say no. The game already struggles with keeping up with all the animation in the game already. Once you get several hundred beavers and covered the whole map, the game slows to a crawl as it is.
