True, weather is sort of something that many of us hope to get more attention to. (fingers crossed).
In most of our time, ingame, we are out of our bases, in which we spend so much time also, enjoying the feel of how good time we spend building them, upgrading the plab out of them, scared of imaginable feral ducks, managing the loot, etc..
But outside must be harsh, difficult, not a walk on the sunshine.
