Natural Disasters 1.3.0.0
Changelog
Every disaster got a full visual rebuild in this update.
- Tornado: a real funnel body instead of scattered debris
- Meteor Shower: meteors are now actual tumbling rocks wrapped in flame
- Volcanic Eruption: throws real glowing rock chunks; the ash plume now widens as it rises, spreads into a canopy and drifts
- Lightning Storm: bolts now strike from the cloud deck all the way to the ground, with distant flashes lighting the horizon between strikes
- Firestorm: falling fireballs glow, and the ground keeps burning where they land
- Sandstorm: a deep rolling wall with a towering face, a body and a trailing haze
- Blizzard: same added depth, plus snow blowing low across the road
- Tsunami: a curling crest, a body of water behind it and foam running ahead of the front
- Hailstorm: proper ice, a curtain of falling hail around you, shattering shards on impact
- Fog Bank: much thicker, layered at mixed heights, and it now rolls with you instead of being left behind
- Microburst: a visible column of air slamming down and a tight ring blasting outward on every hit
- Sinkhole: a softer edge that blends into the terrain, and the pit smokes continuously
- Earthquake: heavier dust thrown up by the shaking
- Dust Devils: each whirlwind now has its own funnel
- Impacts: bigger explosions with a rising second blast and dust thrown out along the ground
Performance
- Terrain sampling is cached, cutting thousands of redundant ground lookups per second on the slower effects
- Heavy repeating effects rebuilt to spawn far fewer objects
- Added a hard ceiling on simultaneous effects and distance culling, so overlapping disasters can no longer tank the frame rate
Fixes
- The upgrade entry listed disasters that are already free; it now shows the actual Pro-only ones
NATURAL DISASTERS - PRO - v1.3.0.0
Includes everything in the Free 1.3.0.0 update, plus:
- Asteroid Impact: a genuinely huge tumbling boulder, a double detonation, a towering mushroom cloud and a real expanding shockwave ring across the ground
- Ball Lightning: the orbs are now proper glowing plasma spheres with arcing electricity, throwing pulsing light as they drift
- Firenado: a real fire funnel body wrapping the blazing column
- Lava Flow: three layers deep - a burning front, molten body and smoking crust behind it - glowing across its full width
- Geyser: unchanged

- All the old abilities from Pro are now available in Free (now 14 events total in Free instead of 6, and 19 events total in Pro)
