It is plausable that the fake sky stuff could have broken down as maintenance was abandoned on Red over the years though, so I wouldn't say the idea is wrong and/or bad :)
Especially not in the sub-basement level where the mole people lived.
But at the same time, if it had broken down by now, people would have noticed. If it all of a sudden changed, they wouldn't be like 'hey, it didn't work for years already', they'd be like 'WHOA WHERE DID THE SUN GO?!'.
A compromise however, that I think could be pretty cool, would be if the sun/moon and sky effects glitched out a bit from time to time. Like a hologram flickers.
It's all tied together and, theme wise, RP wise, or builder wise, "un-doing" it wouldn't come for free or present any benefit to anybody anywhere.
Handwave complete.
I get the idea, if building a new world, sure, why not build it this way. This one's already kind of baked and like I said @ideas which don't introduce a new feature, QoL benefit, or new kind of RP opportunity aren't very likely to be acted on.
Make a case for how this would stimulate cooler gameplay?
I hope you all treat it ICly when the lightning doesn't change when its supposed to or the weather system goes out of whack and you get a bad storm instead of stable weather patterns. These systems are meant to be ICly hackable.
Thanks for explicitly calling that out. I have been noticing some anomalies lately, but I wrote them off as OOC code glitches and not actual IC environmental elements to be commented on.
Basically they become temporary dark rooms, so you couldn't see into that room and people in there could bring out their flares, flashlights and cyber safety lights.
Not to mention all the hilarious RP that would ensue.
