Snowing Inside Spaceship

#1
Snow falls inside a spaceship hull if there is any open area without a room void filling it. Snow should probably be removed from inside hulls as well as inside rooms.

To replicate: Take a spaceship where a room void has a view to an empty hull area down into a gas giant. On the ocean surface where it is almost always snowing, snow will be falling through the ship.

I've seen this. It's a tricky one, though. If you have an extensible docking gantry (which needs some hull for the voids to work inside), snow would fail to fall there. Snow wouldn't fall in hull concavities either, even when voided. Essentially any invisible/open to air above hull section would look odd, and there are plenty of legitimate reasons to have those.


Perhaps it should do as you say, but it should fall inside hull voids? Then you'd have a bit more control.

Snow is a nice effect but it is not perfect. It is not practical to have every snowflake check for collisions as it falls. Maybe we could live with this one.
