Reduce fog or add option to remove

16 votes

New experimental lighting changes for dawn and dusk are pretty, but fog is overpowering and ends up detracting from appearance

Attached image compares fog on versus fog off, at the same time of day (morning)

I also suggest making the light colour slightly more blue for non-drought seasons and change the drought sun angle to minimise shadow length, to provide a visible distinction between the two seasons in addition to the fog overlay

This sounds like a settings menu suggestion to add a slider or "fog intensity" setting. :)

That last sentence should end with "fog overlay"

I was tired

I suggest adjusting intensity (transparency) with a slider in settings and testing out vignette instead of a "flat" filter.

Personally I like the drought filter a lot, but now it's a bit too visually intrusive.

Please, please! I know your developers are proud of the sunlight filter concepts and their implementation. But we also love the original artwork and creations and their color schemes. :D

as an older player with not the best eyesight, the game is incredibly difficult to see already. The visual additions all make seeing things and having an enjoyable game that much worse.

I disable the fog in dev console everytime I start the game. It's annoying to disable it every time. Many players likely don't know this exists. It should be a standard option in the settings for players to choose what they prefer.
