⚡ Project Atmosphere – Beta Pre-Release Update ⚡
Sorry for the delays, I’ve been busy outside of modding (it was my birthday last week 🎉).
But here’s what I cooked up for you all:
🌪️ Tornadoes
- More realistic shapes
- High winds can push and move entities (still not realistic enough for me, more work coming)
- Wind streaks appear during storms for a more dynamic effect
⚙️ Performance
- Project Atmosphere now uses its own biome lookup system, similar to seed viewer sites, instead of vanilla’s biome checks
- This greatly improves stability and FPS:
- 4070 Ti Super: before → 70–150 FPS inside a cumulonimbus, now → 130–260 FPS (with peaks up to 300)
- RTX 3050: before → ~90 FPS (unplayable), now → 100–130 FPS
- There are still fluctuations, but the gains are huge
🛠️ Other Notes
- Started working on models — they’ll be released progressively as development continues
- Added crafting recipes for new instruments
- Sandstorms are now optional
- Updated to work with the new version of Serene Seasons Plus
- Added SnowStorms upgrade (not finished)
