Suggestion – Biome Smoothies and Storm Damage Mitigation

During biome storms, it would be great if biome-specific smoothies could reduce the frequency of storm damage. For example, instead of taking damage every 15 seconds, the smoothie could extend that to every 45 seconds while active. The drink duration could stay the same.

This would make storms less punishing and allow players to remain somewhat mobile or productive, instead of being forced to wait out the entire storm doing nothing in a temporary shelter.
 
Agree with this suggestion. I think the storm is supposed to force players to enter POIs they would otherwise skip but I have a schedule (a 7 days schedule) and cannot afford the detours.
 
I just plan to turn them off if they are more hassle than interesting (which I suspect will be the case). I don't like waiting out storms in other games and don't expect I'll like it in this one.

Even if a smoothie provided protection, I would probably just disable them if I don't like dealing with them.

I disagree I like having something that stops me in my tracks or gets in the way. But too each own
 
I'll be honest, I'm on Day 13, and while I haven't spent a bunch of time in the desert/burnt forest (the only badges I've bothered to get so far) I've only had a storm warning pop up once. That said, I don't really see a lot of point to them when they mostly just make you go stand around inside (if you happened to be hitting a T4 or T5 POI as they started, you could probably avoid not having anything to do, but smaller POIs it seems unlikely that would be the case.)
 
I've been driven into an unplanned shelter a couple of times now. I wouldn't say I do nothing. I generally pick a nearby POI and explore it during the storm.

That said, I do worry that the various smoothies only have one purpose and this Pimp Dream provides a continuing reason to make them. I think that's worthy of consideration.
