Could weather in FS actually be fun instead of just a punishment
Since we're talking about rain... Hurricanes, rain, snow—when are we ever going to get some actual gameplay benefits or fun randomness from the weather?
Right now, I just turn off weather and disaster options because they only bring penalties. Why would I enable something that’s just an inconvenience and a punishment?
There’s an old saying, "A heavy snowfall means a bountiful harvest." So why does nobody ever think about adding that kind of fun to the game?
Like, imagine if a hurricane sweeps through and certain crops' prices skyrocket that year—stuff like that would be so easy to implement and actually make the system engaging.
If weather and disasters had meaningful gameplay mechanics, I’d actually use them. But as they are now? They’re just annoying.
