I’ve been playing on the Ireland server for a while, and I’m beginning to suspect the developers have forgotten it exists. The environment seems permanently set to what the handbook calls a “temperate rainforest,” though the practical experience is closer to “moss with ambitions.”

The weather engine has two states: drizzle and a more determined drizzle. On rare occasions the sun appears, but only briefly, as if it has wandered into the wrong instance and leaves before anyone can file a bug report. Local vegetation is thriving to an almost smug degree, while my boots have developed a semi-sentient dampness that refuses to dry, regardless of the heat setting.

Before I waste points on crafting another waterproof layer that will betray me within minutes, has anyone found a viable biome mod? Even a partial one. Something like “Occasional Dry Spell” or “Cloud Transparency Above Ten Percent.” I’m not asking for a desert expansion; I’d just like to see my shadow more than twice a year.

Any guidance from experienced players would be appreciated. My character is starting to grow lichen! Is there any passive benfit to this or am I best getting rid?
