Changing Visiblity Conditions

[Clamp-o-Tron]

Hi! I've been on a quest recently to make my game harder and therefore more interesting. One idea I had was a way to implement changing visibility conditions so you can try to land your spaceplane in a fog, or just look good from a distance. I know that scattered implements a limited fog mechanism, but that's just so you can't see the entire planet.
 

Does there exist a mod that randomly changes visibility conditions?

(If not, I'll use my rudimentary Unity knowledge to make one)

Not as far as I know, but I think there would be interest.

I have seen screenshots with dramatic dark clouds, but I assume these were custom EVE configs that actually affect the whole planet.

I think that the challenging part will be getting the clouds visible from space to match the local weather. I’m not sure how EVE manages this.

The answer, I've found, is simply to create some EVE configs with a lower altitude and chance of appearing, along with a higher density when they do appear.
