Periodic sandstorms, occurring maybe once every 20-30 minutes in-game that last for maybe 10 minutes would add much more atmosphere and realism to the game. It could also be a good window of opportunity for Raiders and Wastelanders to do things Aegis Personnel try to prevent under the cover of a sandstorm. MDF would be able to see a set distance through these sandstorms, so as to keep things lore accurate.

Possibly have different types of sandstorm that are much more uncommon, such as a volcanic sandstorm blowing from the volcano area that slowly damage those caught within it, or a contaminant sandstorm from the radioactive zone that spreads the Flare Virus (likely not because it would be very annoying for most). These variants could be very rare or occur every 2-3 hours.

Any sandstorm or weather effect would be very cool and would add a good amount of immersion to the game.

Might cause some lag but I like the idea.

#

ooo

#

i like everything except the cz

#

too much work or im just lazy and it doesn’t exactly line up

timid ibex
#

You mean the virus storm?

lavish badger
#

yas

iron jolt
rare bolt
#

hmm

#

i like this idea

#

maybe give sthd/mdf a sandstorm visor to allow them to see through it

#

pksf not affected of course

#

and maybe a sandstorm blowing in from zone 14 would just make you turn green and do a little damage or smth

#

Very good suggestion, I like it. The flare virus sandstorm is the only thing that I dislike since CZ crates alone cause a lot of work for us ARD. Otherwise, very good.

timid ibex
#

Yeah, the flare virus storm wouldn’t be that fun. I think this really stems from the rare occurrence of an outbreak being an extremely tedious and boring event for most personnel though. If they changed it up somehow, maybe people would look forward to them.

rapid yacht
#

Overall, as I stated prior it's a very good suggestion.

iron jolt
#

ADD FLARE VIRUS STORM

#

WAIT NO

#

FF STORM

#

FF STORM YES

Hell no.

#

I dunno I feel like the sandstorms are way to common

rapid yacht
vagrant yew
#

Yes

#

But as someone who lives in a desert country a sandstorm doesn't happen every other day

static loom
#

so yes

empty ingot
#

Yes good idea

vestal wind
#

these new players CRACKIN with the suggestions

#

very cool (bro poppin off with the good suggestions)
although i dont like the idea of sthd becoming discount MDF when a sandstorm occurs, unless they get something then its cool, FF storms would be a pain tho

who let bro cook

half girder
#

Yeah, but if they happened too often it would get irritating. We already have long night times

timid ibex
#

Yes bro that’s why I say “maybe”. The main suggestion is the content itself, the sandstorms. The frequency and variations would be decided by developers, if they ever chose to add this (highly unlikely)

half girder
half girder
#

Variants could include: Radioactive storms (EXTREMELY rare), snowstorms during winter, etc

#

@timid ibex

timid ibex
#

Snowstorms would be cool

#

But this would probably just be a season weather update like you suggested

half girder
#

ye

static loom
#

Ok

No

@tight hazel dont ignore

this is amazing 😱

Ok

If someobe dobt ad tis to geam im gana die 😱

#

maybe not cz but some sort of infection exclusive to sandstorms that can be contracted from prolong exposure to sandstorms without protection would be really cool

#

combat divisions and ard bio protected for a certain amount of time, and wastelanders can get some sort of thing to protect them

#

and then a new protocol where aegis without protection must shelter inside the border

#

kinda like altered incursion

timid ibex
#

New protocol is pretty genius nice one bro

flat egret
thin plinth
#

Can be named: Biohazard lockdown

hallow plank
#

for that protocol

#

since its rarely used it could be used for this if it comes out

tame cliff
#

this is actually a cool idea

desert grove
#

@tropic kernel BRO THINK

tropic kernel
#

hoh

sharp drum
#

Since it keeps all AEGIS inside the border and not exposed

#

and then people like PKSF and ARD with bios would be protected and can leave

#

civilian respirator could also protect but for balancing lasts twice or 3 times as long

#

As it would for radiation

#

Same with filter replacement

sharp drum
#

maybe I will write my own suggestion like this but to include custom protocols

oak sky
#

This would be funny as shit

#

And I love it

glacial grail
#

could then also add a rough meter that shows the time until the next one is estimated to arrive, but if it gets it right then it would display the time like 2 minutes off, etc

lavish badger
#

doomsday clock

nocturne swan
#

night is bad enough

#

i dont need day being shit also

#

though cool idea

oak sky
desert grove
#

half of the game wanting this:

#

meanwhile dev team

#

ok embed fail

#

no funy

oak sky
#

Ye no embed here

sharp drum
#

I might make a separate suggestion more outlining my idea for the protocol

#

What would also be cool is

#

if the little building near radio tower in poliax

#

Was like a weather station that can be used to track next sandstorm

lavish badger
#

ooo thats good

sharp drum
#

Right before sandstorm

#

A vtol crate drops

#

full of masks or whatever

#

to protect civilians

#

could be another way to signify an imminent sandstorm

#

aegis combatics would have built in dust masks to protect them

#

civilians with respirator would also be protected

#

anyone else would need to get a mask from vtol crate or shelter in one of the small buildings inside settlements, or other buildings like robotics, smugglers, wasteland labs, refinery, etc

#

Basically anywhere enclosed if you don’t have a mask otherwise you will take damage

lavish badger
#

bro is writing the next biggest thing of dod

#

😱

sharp drum
#

can I beat the pksf virus for most detailed suggestion?!

glacial grail
#

i wanna see it

#

(also it’s a very good idea)

white saddle
#

Oh my god

#

Worst idea

#

Not for 10 minutes though

#

And if it happened every 30 minutes and it lasted 10 minutes

#

it would become really annoying

#

maybe every 3 - 5 hours

#

for around 5 minutes

#

as a raider this would be so annoying

oak sky
#

Instead of CZ crate

sharp drum
#

LOL

oak sky
timid ibex
#

Sandstorms please

desert grove
#

Pls

#

sandstorms wouldn’t affect people inside the facility

#

but it means when on roof or travelling to border you have much more cover

timid ibex
#

Sandstorms.

pseudo silo
#

In my opinion the sandstorms happen too often, they should occur every hour and last for 10 minutes. I really like this idea and I hope it gets added!

half girder
#

they should happen every 2-8 IRL hours and last for 5-20 mins

#

and very rarely like once a month there will be a heavy sandstorm

#

which lasts for like 30 mins or more

weak jewel
#

personally I’d much rather not be able to see because of a very cool sandstorm over the fact nightvision is broken

#

very cool suggestion

fast light
#

I think a new item would be good for countering the sandstorms. This item would be called “Storm Goggles” that cost 8 ingots and they make you able to see clearer in the storms. Overtime the goggles will get dirtier and dirtier resulting in less vision, this can be cleaned with a one time use cloth you can purchase for 2 scrap.

sharp drum
#

2 scrap??

#

dawg

#

scraps are already so inflated most people are running around with trillions of scrap

#

At that point might as well be free

tardy silo
#

i legit have like 500 trillion scrap

#

that's less than a penny

#

to most people

#

💀

fast light
#

Okay then we raise it to 3 Ingots (it’s supposed to be cheap because it’s cloth)

pseudo silo
#

i have 100000 trilion scrap

desert grove
#

i have 3 scrap and 7 credit

weak jewel
#

i have 1000 trillion

tardy silo
#

its only 500 less

#

but ok

#

make the sandstorm sand down armor and make it weaker

sharp drum
#

what

#

no

#

that’s a terrible idea

weak jewel
#

I did like the added suggestion of goggles to see during the sandstorm

#

I think this might be a cool idea, already fitted out to divisions like mdf & pksf, added in with the feature of a new area somewhat like zone 14, where the area has such a bad sandstorm it’s possible to breathe or see in it

#

it would obviously take a lot of work, and new features, however this area would have an added in damage affect like zone 14, requiring masks like found on most aegis morphs

#

it could opt in room to add many bran new features, and act as either an easier, or harder level zone 14

hollow moss
#

Yes

#

Pls

vagrant yew

weak jewel
#

same argument

vagrant yew
#

That's the point

hallow plank
pallid frigate
#

why cant we just call it radiation storm

rich bear
#

Nice

vagrant yew
#

But goggles dont

ruby pike
#

like

#

it slowly decrease the armor

#

but it cant decrease past 20/10 armor point sidk

#

like if you have 100 armor

#

the max it can decrease is 20

#

so you would have 80

sharp drum
#

If it was strong enough to wear down titanium or Kevlar armour

#

any exposed skin would shred away

#

and thus you would die from blood loss

ruby pike
#

idk

timid ibex
#

it makes no sense bro sand takes years to even slightly erode something

sharp drum
#

exactly

#

and you would die immediately if you had exposed skin

#

if this sand is strong enough to erode titanium or Kevlar in seconds

#

your ass is not surviving

white saddle
#

bro this ain’t real life

#

it’s roblox it ain’t that deep bruzamillans

#

also no offence to your suggestion but this is never being added

#

dylan is focused on oretary and coded doesn’t do much either

timid ibex
#

Oretary is shit

weak jewel
#

oretary is amazing

#

except for the fact i crashed after buying 4 diamond printers

I change my vote to yes because I’m getting a new pc that can prob handle a sandstorm

Extra range is cool

pliant gate
#

very cool, i just hope coded doesnt take a very very very long time to code it

placid fjord
#

I was thinking there should be some sort of events like this, this is genius for a game with a wasteland. Though I think the sandstorms should vary in strength, and the more powerful and damaging it is, the rarer. (Give chairman EF5 button trollface_aegis )

vital ocean
#

i feel like the problem here is itd make it so u cant see shit more than half the time

#

like night is already annoying enough but having ur vision reduced randomly during the day would be such a pain

#

other than that cool suggestion
