this is meant to be a weather system, correct?

Sort of wondering about something, things that could be possible. Unity has a 3rd party plug-in for a weather system, but seems to lack in some areas

1. a drag & drop system for lightening effects or randomly generate lightening
2. you know how storms effect the sea and waters, could that be possible the waters can be effected during the storms
3. will the time of day be editable (like say 30 minutes or even 1 hour could be a 24 hour time cycle in-game)
4. could you control how much particles pile up? Say, you have a snow area and snow just continues to fall, but you don’t want an insane pile-up
5. editable cloud system

I’m sure I have other questions, but those are the ones that came to me at the moment

I’ll update the main post with the features you want to add and those already implemented.
But to answer your specific topics, here goes:

1. Yes, I want to add thunder and flashes based on weather conditions. Yes. Fully random.
2. No. I do not mean to mess with water, because there are already many plugins being developed also runs off a little of what I see as the weather system. But I intend to deliver material functions, applying sense of wet, so that it is easy to use and responsive to the weather system. As snow and dust.
3. Just watch my config vídeo. There is a lot of tweaks can be done right now. Config Vídeo
4. Yes. I want to in the end deliver some scalability tool for smaller graphics cards. But this is the last part. There’s a lot ahead. And since I have a board that at best is average, if run well here, will run elsewhere.
5. Yes. Im working on it right now. As the thunder, rain, snow, clouds, wind, dust. I want to put sliders, it may be possible to configure things like arid / humid, tropical / polar, average temperature… These things. And everything will be randonlly generated from these inputs.
