Get rid of Fog indoors

2.9K votes

We shouldn't see fog inside of any of our built structures. It's as if the fog from outside is just clipping into the indoors. It looks quite bad and is distracting.

Hi! It isn't the end of the world, but it is a bit immersion breaking stepping into the home I built and it being covered in fog. So far this is really my only gripe for now aside from jittery framerate. Having a lot of fun and would love to see this adjusted. Thank you!

This was fixed in the demo, so should be easy fix for EA maybe?

I kinda like the cosy feel it gives. At first I thought it was smoke and that I needed a chimney like in Valveim but I understood it's just mist from outside. It does not bother me that much but if it's not meant to be there then it should be removed.

I've literally stopped building my base because of how jarring the fog indoors is. I have no idea how this could have released as such given how bad it is. There is no reason to make a concentrated effort to make a good looking base when it's ruined by the bloom and fog, and with no other endgame content I'm not sure why I would want to keep playing.

I would assume if I didn't put in any windows and there is just a hole in the wall, that fog might end up happening but after putting effort into a structure it would make sense to keep the weather effects out from the inside.

Wasn't the altars suppose to repel the shroud ?

The only fog should be in the shroud and care should be taken that it is just not glare, bloom.

I thought this was a bug, it looks really stupid having fog in your base.

Struggling with this. Killing the eyes. Please adjust bloom and fog. Really tough to keep playing, and believe me, I desperately wanna keep playing. Appreciate a quick fix!

Good lord, yes please fix the fog indoors. It makes me so sad.

Would work best if there just was no fog inside the range of your Flame Altars, or at leas only on the edges. That's what the altars are supposed to do, after all, hold back the fog, so it fits with the lore/narrative.

Better yet, since the Flame Altars are supposed to push back the fog, have them actually do that: No fog inside Flame Altar building boundaries, or only a bit on the edges. This would be easier to implement than only in buildings as well.

I haven't thought of it as fog coming inside, looks more like dust sprites lighting up with the light coming in through the cracks, like in a rl barn eg. It recedes somewhat (less noticeable) when wall lighting is added.

From what I can tell that's just the visual way of indicating it's not warm. If your base is warm there is no fog.

This issue is a huge development oversite. It should of never been a thing to see fog in buildings

Please remove fog inside of your base (and the bloom from windows, or reduce it)

It's crazy and overwhelming my entire build at the moment. Any room or ceiling larger or further away than 4x4 is just dominated by fog

Leave well enough alone, I live in an area that has a reputation for heavy fog. Hence I see fog in my house occasionally if doors are left open or if there are open windows. So far I have only seen one window with glass in it so it stands to reason that you will occasionally see fog indoors.

I would like to see the option to turn off global fog period. Not the shroud just the global fog. It is very uncomfortable for my eyes! I have messed around with graphic card settings and still can not get rid of the GLARE! Specially in the desert areas.

This is so bad in my house that I asked in the Steam discussions if there was a smoke mechanic I was unaware of.

Definitely something that needs looking into. Perhaps make it that warmth drives back fog or Shroud spore clouds?

Not just indoors. Need the option to turn down or off global fog. Not SHROUD. The glare is often unbearable from fog.

While I 100% agree with the comment, I also worry that enabling this will create too many new "safe places" in the shroud and take too much of the exciting fear away from the shroud.
