Adjusting the temporal storm settings on a Vintage Story server allows administrators to customize the game's difficulty and pacing to match their community's playstyle. By tweaking these parameters, hosts can reduce the frequency or intensity of storms for a more relaxed, building-focused experience, or ramp them up to create a brutal, hardcore survival challenge. Ultimately, altering these settings gives server owners precise control over how often players must retreat underground to survive the game's terrifying cosmic events.
