I'll add my voice to the chorus praising this mod for it's service to the community these many years. May it's retirement be peaceful and lasting.

Thank you again for your service to the community. I am able to unsubscribe now that it has become both vanilla and default.

Thank you so much.
Unsubscribing as it is now vanilla The popularity of this mod no doubt helped that happen.

Thank you for your mod, i am proud to be able to unsubscribe from a mod that has become a vanilla feature, which is on by default now, your contribution made my games easier

Thanks for your Mod. Its nice its now vanilla.

Thank you for service

You will be missed. Thank you for your service.

I have a question does this mod block 100% of lighting damage. Because I just had a lighting bolt struck my base.

o7 I salute thee, No Lightning Damage mod, for four years of service, doing the important work of protecting my starting rover from meat seeking electricity strikes. You have made weather an option in many a game and your service is forever appreciated.

...

Keen is making this an option in the settings in an upcoming update. And, really, THANK YOU FOR THIS MOD. Best mod ever.

@echoMateria They did it's the decoy you can build.

If Keen added lightning as a hazard, why didn't they add a way to fight that, such as lighting rods and such?

Hi, not sure how easy it will be, but can you make this loadable through the plugin loader (mod section) so it will load by default? :D

TIA

Don't enter atmosphere with out it.

The lightning thing is the single dumbest addition Keen has made to Space Engineers. "rumbling thunder BOOF YOU'RE DEAD AND YOUR WORK EXPLODED LMAO GIT GUD"

Thanks for this.

Ya, I put this on my server just the other day and damage is still happening. Now granted, I am no longer getting hit like 3 time in 3 minutes in storms like I was when I adopted this mod.... So I am not as worried now.

one of my rotating solar pannels got struck down by lightning I think it's obsolete

Dedicated server refuses to launch with this mod enabled.

Error: Error during loading session:System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

Ignore me, it was user error. Don't forget to enable the mod for your game. All is good :-)

Struck by lightning within the first few minutes of loading my save and damage was still caused to me and blocks around me.

No more hours of progress gone due to a single unluckily placed lightning strike. Thank you

I am curious, does the mod edit the name of planets like this: P(EarthLike)S(1407376611606718)A(G(SnowCoverageIronCore)M(EarthSnowArea)__30)-835061767651640257.vx2 ?

I could not restore a save because I hit the character limit for the file structure on the server. I noticed that each game instance that used this mod had a similar naming structure for planets that have had visitors, but this one was particularly long.

Does this work for modded planets because Lighting just hit my base and did damage even though i have this mod.

This mod is great - distant, aesthetic lightning, but no strikes on or near me. It's exactly what I wanted. Thank you!

This should be the standard setting for vanilla imo.
Getting continously bent by invulnerable Thor is just not funny.

We are no moles sitting happy in our holes after all.
They are already full of spiders!

Is there possibly a conflict with Weather Improvements mod? I have both of them and received damage when I was recently struck by lightning.

this mod is a requirement for any world

I have storms on Pertam, just no damage anymore.

I'm on Pertam and since I enabled this mod there hasn't been any weather at all. Is that how the temporary fix should work or is something not working as intended?

Only way lightning is suposed to work.
Some Dev missed a class on the cage of faraday principle.

Nevermind, the mod is not broken, I was just using it on a planet with unique modded weather and didn't realize it.

Since the new update, this mod is broken :(

Thanks for this.
The lightning would be great if it acted like lightning and not like a vengeful god. I'm tired of needing to layer heavy armor blocks at least 3 thick just to not lose power sources. Even if it just targeted NEAR electronics that were on, that'd be fine. Then you could use a decoy system. Currently its just stupid.

Was driving my rover. A storm appeared. FIRST lighting that came was a direct hit. Destroyed my cockpit. No player damage but still uncontrollable rover.
Getting tired of this. Sandstorm is fine, like all the weather. Except the freaking lightning bolts.

I love how the decoys and antennas don't even work most of the time, not for me at least. Pretty much just have to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reload an earlier save if a storm comes and I'm trying to actually play the game. So ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sick of just getting all my wheels hitscanned by God, apparently.

hey idea time why not make a mod that makes the lightning act like an ion weapon and turn off the blocks it hits? could this be the balance people are looking for?

Just 5 second ago lightning hit piston under 7 decoys stack disconecting drill wall that rolled over 3 players bases, lightning is worse than grieffers.

Thanks

How to reconfigure this mod itself so that it has its own damage and the chance of hitting the player and buildings?

Lightning strikes on players is a baffling gameplay element. The process of having to build a decoy or antenna is not fun, and being randomly instagibbed and having your stuff wrecked because you didn' tknow about it super sucks, especially if you are playing on total realism. If the lightning struck the highest point in an area that would be one thing...

Anyway, end rant. Thanks for this!

Awesome! I think it is so stupid how you can be struck underground.

God.. Thank you.. This lightning strike is absurd..

<3

Thanks a bunch! Very much appreciated.

Thank you, Jakaria :)

Thank you very much, Jakaria :)

Updated to support pertam

I've had it hit my base on Pertram. I'm starting to just clear the weather when it storms, which I hate doing, because I love the weather.

Can confirm that the mod is not working for Pertram, although for me I've only ever had it strike small vehicles, not large vehicles or grids. Quite annoying none the less.

Do I need to make a new world for this to work? I added it mid game and lightning still destroys everything I own.

Same as Crustyoldgoat, seams to not be working on Pertram. The lightning there is very NON playable unless you bury yourself underground including your power generation.
