Hit B. Problem solved.
I could see impact to a region in that maybe adjusting weather. I could see a machine helping in that too. Unfortunately, though, I could see changing weather in one spot would adjust it in other areas of the planet then. So more rain in your area might mean less rain in another. Or maybe rivers or streams dry up and crops die.
Since this is a survival game on many levels I think if we allow weather adjustments that there needs to be some adverse response then as well. I think people have forgotten that these are planets and that some planets are going to be hard to live on and the design the devs are trying to put into the game. We have weather for reasons just like we have atmosphere design and protection.
It just feels like people want an “easy button” again with things like this and forget what the game is actually about and instead just focus on the building part of it. Personally those stuck in that mode should probably end up moving into a creative mode (if that is ever made available) or something.
Don’t get me wrong - I sometimes get annoyed by the weather as well. Hence why I say people need to do a better post on “their experience with the weather” and suggestions on how it could be balanced better. That would solve more things in the long run I think because it would stay in the MMO style and world experience the Devs want.
