Yeah, rain storms will fill up any available underground space with water. Although if you just want a simple solution, you can knock out a tile of backwall and let it drain into the eldritch and unseen third dimension.

My brother and I might run a server once we get back home from Idaho.

Reminds me of how often i just like to carve out great big areas of background (and foreground) blocks in a great wide pit of sorts, gives a sort of "literally carved out/under a mountain" vibe.

If rainfall actually accumulates, would be nice to see evaporation/ground absorption (even in the presence of backwall) so that all worlds don't eventually all turn into oceans.

PS: Does this apply to non-water rain? I forget if there was actual acid/harmful rain worlds or just harmful liquid pools. Or maybe the non-water rain was mod-only.

I never ran SB mods, but I remember acid rain, too.
Not sure if it could form pool if the rain was strong enough though.

I'm pretty sure acid rain is coded as a fluid, and not just a random damaging effect (like meteors or whatever). Thinking about it, you could probably make some really interesting worlds combining the custom debuff/buff system and the weather system. Nitroglycerin rain? Surely that could never be annoying.

Pretty sure those can also fill pools up. I used to have a pretty sweet tar harvesting op on a planet that was nearly constantly raining the stuff, this was back in Foo Koala with mods tho.

Note that this only works near the surface where removing the back wall reveals sky. Deeper underground where it reveals stone or earth it does nothing.
