Atmosphere Actor
This section provides an overview of the attributes of the Atmosphere Actor presenting multiple configurations that can influence the calculations of fundamental composition and the impact on Influence Actors and their affect on the atmosphere.
Atmosphere
Property |
Type |
Description |
Is Active |
Boolean |
Toggle to activate the atmosphere simulation. |
Calculation Options
Property |
Type |
Description |
Calc Humidity |
Boolean |
Toggle to calculate humidity. |
Calc Pressure |
Boolean |
Toggle to calculate atmospheric pressure. |
Calc Temperature |
Boolean |
Toggle to calculate temperature. |
Use Boiling Point |
Boolean |
Checks if the temperature at the center of the Gas Vent or Absorber is above the boiling point and only then emits or absorbs gas. |
Report On Location Changed |
Boolean |
Report changes only when location vector passed changes. |
Composition
Property |
Type |
Description |
Base Gas Concentrations |
Map<Gas Type, float> |
Base gas amount applied t the atmosphere. |
Gas Concentration Caps |
Map<Gas Type, float> |
Gas amount caps. |
Example Composition
Influence
Property |
Type |
Description |
Influence Unbound |
Boolean |
If true, the influence is always active, regardless of distance. |
Use Cubic Influence |
Boolean |
If true, calculations regarding influence will be based on a cubic shape. |
Influence Extent |
Float |
This parameter defines the spatial extent of the atmospheric region, specifying the maximum distance from the central point of the atmospheric. |
Falloff
Property |
Type |
Description |
Apply Atmospheric Boundary Falloff |
Boolean |
Activates simulation of decreasing impact with increasing distance from the atmosphere's center. |
Gas Falloff Factor |
Float |
Determines the rate at which gas amount decreases as measurements approach the outer boundary of the atmosphere. Higher values result in a sharper decrease. |
Humidity Falloff Factor |
Float |
Determines the rate at which humidity decreases as measurements approach the outer boundary of the atmosphere. Higher values result in a sharper decrease. |
Pressure Falloff Factor |
Float |
Determines the rate at which the base pressure decreases as measurements approach the outer boundary of the atmosphere. Higher values result in a more pronounced decrease. |
Temperature Falloff Factor |
Float |
Determines the rate at which temperature decreases as measurements approach the outer boundary of the atmosphere. Higher values result in a more pronounced decrease. |

Info
Used only for pressure calculations.
Property |
Type |
Description |
Gravity |
Float |
Planets average gravity. |
Gravity Effect On Gas Factor |
Float |
Determines how much gravity affects the gas concentration. |
Humidity
Property |
Type |
Description |
Humidity |
Float |

Temp Effect On Gas Factor |
Float |
Determines how much temperature affects the gas concentration. |
Pressure
Property |
Type |
Description |
Pressure |
Float |
Base pressure applied to the atmosphere. |
Pressure Cap |
Float |
The maximum cap for atmospheric pressure in the atmosphere calculation. |
Pressure Multiplier |
Float |
A modifier that adjusts the rate of atmospheric pressure buildup, used to either increase or decrease the resulting pressure. |
