server.properties: settings_start_weather

Quote from FlintLogic

I noticed a new setting in my server.properties config file: settings_start_weather=

There you can define a start weather, i.e. the initial weather when starting the server. When leaving this field blank, the server always start with the default weather (sunny with few clouds), alternatively you can set any other weather type there (clear, default, overcast, rain, rainthunder, heavyrain, heavyrainthunder, storm, fog, densefog). It's also possible to have a random start weather by entering "random"

Also I think the rain animation is too 'heavy' (and too white), but I like to hear other opinions about it of course! Beside that the update caused some tears in the world (mostly in caves). Is there any way to fix this easily?

Was it maybe the heavy rain? It's more intense than the regular rain (try to change the weather by typing weather rain 1 into console, is this type of rain still too intense?)
About the tears, that will be fixed shortly^^

I will test the 'weather rain 1' command. Will this setting stay effective until server restart or permanently?

I also like to know if there's a option to specify the abandoned sheds spawn rate or amount. Its beginning to look like there was a apocalypse and loads of people abandoned there sheds

Or should I open another thread for this?

No, it only stays for a few minutes...

The latest hotfix greatly reduces the spawn rate of the abandoned shacks However, it's not possible to have any influence on the dungeon spawnrate, but that will be implemented later
