please add weather to planets
Under Consideration
Please add weather effects to the game. I am not talking about rain/fluid water, I am thinking of something like sound and particle effects e.g. for dust storms(you can simulate this by using the particle emitter mod by rexxar and increase the size of the effect). Maybe even add some hazardous gasstorms etc.I know this is a known idea but I think it would really improve the ambience and gameplay. There is a lot you can do with it.

I like this feedback 
Wind and windmill generators would also been possible then! Would like to have some control panel to control the weather though, (control could be disabled in world settings)

I like it... although I unfortunately think they have WAY bigger issues to tackle at the moment. Though I do hope they get to this.

temperature would be good with heating in ships or stations (heating blocks).

This topic can be pushed far: depending on the planet distance from its host start and planet's day length extremely various conditions can be simulated, e.g. hot winds, or wind speeds that make building on the surface much harder. If planet simulation will get far enough, we could have exotic planets with "rainfalls" of liquid ethanol, melted metals and so on making very hard and expensive to explore these environments. Of course there are much more imminent issues/features to solve first before going so 'wild'.

I will like to see some weather suff as the planets have clouds.
On the other hand it will be kinda tricky to do volumetric effects like real clouds...
Simple storms wind hurricanes and hazards are do able as most of games do this effects "just around player"
Wind turbulences like in LV-1201 (http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/LV-1201) or having Planet like Crematoria (http://thechroniclesofriddick.wikia.com/wiki/Crematoria)
That kind of planets will be quite challenging...
I am still hoping for some hazards like radioactivity emitted from Uranium Ore vein or damaged Reactors that only remote controled welder drones can repair.
Or Heat / Cold hazard (actually doable).

Hello, Engineers!
Planet weather is in its final state for Space Engineers.
Cheers,

electric storms on Earth that strike and possibly damage ships, voxels, players, or the electric systems in the ship.
Dust storms on Mars that make it hard to see and push small ships with wind.
And the Alien planet could have very bizarre weather, such as wind storms that dissolve blocks slowly and push ships.
That would be great, too bad they declined.

It's either a missed opportunity, or one of Marek's surprises.

Would love to see this too. Right now survival still feels a little too sterile. Adding some things like weather would really help with immersion.

I just wanted to say that that "engineer in snow storm" picture looks brilliant! Where did you get that? Who made it?

Having weather would allow for solar panels and wind turbines to change effectiveness with the weather which would be great. Weather would also add a lot of realism to flying your ship with high winds making it more difficult and reducing viability.

Step 1. Wait for someone to do the work for free,
Step 2. Make a couple of minor tweaks so you can claim the credit
Step 3. Profit.
