Diverse Weather - No Permanent Weather

Description
This is a patch for Diverse Weather by gay monster dad, found here:

https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1111827118
or
https://community.playstarbound.com/resources/diverse-weather.5262/

You must have Diverse Weather installed as well, or this will crash your game!

What this does is prevent planets from spawning with permanent weather conditions, such as permanent hurricane, permanent lava rain, etc. That way you won't get any planets that are either constantly difficult or nearly impossible to explore, as is the case with permanent meteors.

Keep in mind, any planets in your universe that previously spawned with permanent weather will still have that weather! To generate new planets go to a far part of the universe you haven't explored, or edit/delete your universe folder.

Other tweaks include:
- Drastically reduces the amount of water that monsoons spawn, to help reduce lag on lower end machines
- Disables tile destruction from earthquakes. You will still get the sound effects and ground animation from earthquakes, but it will no longer destroy tiles

this mod doesn't remove permanent weather. Maybe it does for extreme weather, like hurricanes, but I just started a new character, universe, everything, and the world was always windy

Does anyone know if FU's version of Diverse Weather is permanent, or is it like how this mod changes things?

v it simply removes permanent weather. for example one of the planets i found had a permanent hurricane so i would always get blown east and it was very annoying, this mod makes it so these planets no longer generate with permanent weather (but the ones that have already generated will still stay like that)

I like the idea of this mod, but I feel like a bit more detail and specificity is needed.
I've found a few worlds where they more or less DID have permanent weather.
Ex: always windy... either very windy or hurricane. (speaking of which, there seemed to be a graphical glitch where wind would get into any structure of cave above ground level)
always sunny (literally, the only weather was clear)
always snowing (some degree or another ex: blizzard, snow, slush, hail, never a sunny day or just cloudy)

I very much like what you did, I just think there's room for improvement.
All the best!

will terraforming work?

Now I can explore a simple desert planet without dying of a heatstroke every 15 minutes or having to constantly use food to heal myself.

Wonderful! Now I don't have to sing Katy Perry every time I'm being launched by high speed winds.

Thank Kluex, now I won't have to deal with those freakin' perma-cold or perma-hot worlds early on!
