While researching this I found a complaint of the opposite - that dust devils should keep going after 50% atmosphere!

So I guess what's happening to you is not happening to everyone, although it's hard to see why.

Similar but different issue that that player was discussing.
The suggestion that akman16 was giving was based on the physics of increasing air density while having low vegetation. Dust storms and dust devils, in the OP's opinion should become more destructive as the atmosphere increases if the vegetation is left at a low value.

My bug report has to do with the information presented in the attached image from the wiki.
It lists that Dust Devils in addition to Dust Storms are nullified at 50% atmosphere. In the screenshot from my game you can see that even with 100% terraforming, that disaster is still occuring. It looks like a game bug. Not a suggestion.

Thank you for your time and reply.

I see. I don't know if this is an inaccuracy in the wiki or a bug in the game, although if a bug you'd expect more reports of it!

I can log it as a bug if you wish, although as you may pick up from other posts here it's starting to look like there won't be any more patches for this game - it's been over a year since the last one.

If you want me to do that anyway, please attach here a save file showing the issue, thanks.

All good. just curious if someone knew anything. Thanks

I can lend a save file that has this issue. This is on my 1075% difficulty run. I have met the wiki's listed requirements to stop dust devils, but still get them. This save has some in the southwest corner that I happen to be flattening at the time.

Over 50% atmo terraforming, but I still get dust devils

What is your game version?
249143 as well.

Do you have Space Race installed?
Yes

Adding a save in case it helps troubleshoot.

Can you replicate the issue?
Yes, load the save and wait for the dust devils to subside. Then wait several Sols and they come back.

Thanks for that! I've now logged a bug report on the issue, and referenced this thread in it, and attached the screenshot and saved game.

Thank you for the prompt attention. I'll cross my fingers for a fix!

For me this happened also. Surprise dust storm just before planet is habitable. Save game attached

Dust storms will still happen from certain storybits.

Dust devils will always happen, ask whoever edited the wiki?
