lakhnish Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 For those not familiar with the Rainometer, it predicts when the next rain will occur based on where the arrow of the meter falls, slowly adjusting till it rains. Because of such a simple feature, its not surprising that the Rainometer is looked down upon, especially since its getting three skins from the second Twitch Skin campaign. Even Maxwell's quote on the Rainometer is "I could just look up and see the same thing." Rainometer in Action Spoiler A proper timelapse! To those individuals, I say I've found a use, albeit a niche one in an already niche scenario, but a unique niche nonetheless. And I really want to thank Klei for making this skin, cause otherwise I would have continued to overlook such a useful feature. Its use is in the spoilers. Spoiler That's right. Toadstool fight with Morning Stars. I've had a scenario with friends where we were going to fight Misery Toadstool with Morning Stars, but there was that constant question of "Has it started raining in the caves yet?" To which I would say "no" and the process would repeat itself till it actually did. Now we have a timer. As far as I can tell, it will start raining in the caves after its stopped raining on the surface. However, the time frame for when its was going to start raining was an anomaly. It would happen eventually, but we didn't know when. But as per its design, we have always had a timer with the Rainometer. Having said that, you don't have to exclusively use it for Toad but also for Fuelweaver if you use Morning Stars. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The timer itself till it rains look like this, to where it finally rains when the arrow is in the middle of the blue rain bar on the Rainometer.

goatt Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I still don't understand how it works. I don't see a rain sign... Is it forecasting weather for a certain amount of time or indicating current weather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S19TealPenguin Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 So, if I understand correctly, the rainometer will be set to "yellow" if there is no rain on the surface or in the caves, "green" if it is raining on the surface, and "blue" if it is currently raining in the caves?

CaptainChaotica Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I always thought green meant "cloudy and overcast" and blue just meant...raining in general? (shrug) ...Notorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakhnish Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 @goatt @S19TealPenguin I will be uploading a "timelapse" of the rainometer in action and will be uploaded shortly. I'm merely waiting on YouTube. For now, I'll give a hypothetical scenario. The time/day references are just hypothetical as well. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It is the surface and it is the beginning of day 5 on a server, but it will naturally rain in the middle of day 9. On day 5, let's say the arrow on the rainometer is on the far left (the yellow part) forecasting that future weather (let's say next day) will be sunny. On day 6, the meter slowly inches towards the green part (let's say its now halfway at the yellow part), indicating tomorrow is still sunny, but there will be rain in the future. On day 7, we have hit the green part, indicating that rain will occur soon. By day 8, we are almost at the end of the green part and are entering the blue territory. At the beginning of day 9, we are approaching the middle of the blue part of the rainometer. At the middle of day 9, arrow is in the center of the blue part, and rain has begun.Now for the caves. It's the middle of day 9 and we're in the caves and are waiting for the rain on the surface to stop cause. It will not rain in the caves otherwise. On day 11, the rain stops on the surface. Now we are waiting for the water to "seep" down into the caves. The process is exactly the same as the surface. Day 11, arrow is on yellow. Day 12, we're inching towards green. Day 13, we are in blue territory and it will finally rain when the arrow is in the middle of the blue part of the rainometer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If that didn't make sense, again I'll be uploading a video of the rainometer in action. Just put the video in 2x speed or if you're using Chrome, you can use an addon called Video Speed Controller to go faster than 2x speed (max 16). I'd put in a gif, but it's a long video and I don't know how w/o it dropping frames. A proper timelapse video has been uploaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of against the whole point! XD (Seriously, look at the actual Ten Commandments. Stuff like (loosely translated) "Don't worship other gods" "Don't insult me" and "Don't even look at other gods, I see you there, don't make me come over there" are definitely higher on the list than stuff like "Don't murder.") ...Notorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter863 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Yeah, but gods just sounded better. Also, is technically worshiping Jesus and God considered a sin in a way, because while they are supposed to be the same person I think, they are technically 2 different people/entities right? I guess that's one of the sins he died for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still useless due to how enviromental wetness works(and how bosses like dfly and toad inherit them). At autumn/summer rain would evaporate quickly, and enviromental wentess won't reach 100. It never evaporates at winter and spring (Im not sure about spring but its often raining so its >50% for sure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never evaporates at winter and spring (Im not sure about spring but its often raining so its >50% for sure) It's niche during Spring rain for sure. However, you don't need 100% wetness to do 100% electrical damage to mobs. In fact, as long as the mob shows that its wet, you do full damage. However, there is a visual bug associated with it. If you're holding a dry weapon/tool and hovering over a wet mob, it will show a white text, even though its wet. To see the true wetness, you need to hold ALT. If you're holding a wet weapon (say you threw water balloons at yourself and got wet) and hover over a dry mob, it says its wet even though its not. The bug essentially is that the shown saturation is the tool's saturation when held, not the mob's/environments saturation, which is easily resolved by hitting ALT. But yes, when the environment dries up and stuff displays that they are not wet, the mobs are no longer wet. That means electrical weapons don't do full damage anymore. That is with the exception of Dragonfly, since she has inst:AddComponent("moisture"), which is essentially the wetness bar you see on a player. Because of that, the damage from electrical damage is scaled, not the full blown damage. But I am curious about how the seasons affect this "environmental wetness." Do you know by chance where I can look in the lua for more info before doing in-game tests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it rains at first day of summer in caves - toad will be dry by the next day. Nearly the same in autumn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
