Weather

The Weather is a feature introduced in v1.9.6 Storms of the Sea. In top of adding a new atmosphere to the game, some events and items are directly involved with the weather.

It's possible to change the temperature with a special device, the Temperature Crystals. A change in temperature will increases the chance for a particular weather to happens (cold -> rains/thunderstorms, hot -> sun/no clouds). You can check the temperature with a thermometer.

Sun
Most days in Salt are sunny, with little to no clouds. The sun shines bright and you can easily see islands from far away. The temperature is generally high, especialy on desert islands.

Fog
The fog can happens at any times, but it will generally happens before or after a rain episode. It is more difficult to see distant islands.

Rain
The rain will have more chance to fall when it's cold. It doesn't have any impact on the environment or the player and can lasts for a few days. It is more difficult to see distant islands.

Thunderstorm
The thunderstorm generally happens after a rain episode. It is caracterized by a massive rain, thunder and lightning strikes. During a thunderstorm, the player has a chance to collect thunder crystals that randomly appears on islands. With those crystals, you can craft a lightning trap that will capture even more crystals.

They can also be used to craft Ligthning Rod Arrows or to power the temperature crystals.
