We don't currently simulation weather. Simulating realistic weather in real time is extremely computationally expensive and we don't have a good way to add that right now. That doesn't mean we won't ever simulate weather of any kind, but we don't have any plans to add that right now.

but tough luck if you want Actual Simulated clouds.

the game has corlioisis or whatever it's called effect simulated in the game, so i want to figure out how to trigger that

It only affects geostrophic wind, it "triggers" automatically and moves gas around in bands, it does not make hurricanes.

I just don't know how to actually make the Coriolis force start working, i've tried increasing geostropic wind speed like tutorials tell me, but it just doesn't work

The geotrophic wind IS the coriolis force. What do you mean by work? It should spread gases horizontally.

i'll try to get to the point: i know that i can make COSMETIC cyclonic storms, and if that's the ONLY way to make them then i guess i made this for nothing, but anyways, i'm wondering if you can make rotational cloud movement via the geostropic wind. that's just a basic explanation

I would like it if it were integrated into the game tho!
