Here are three concrete ideas:
- Clothing Mods or Armor for Climate Protection:
Add special mods or armor pieces (like an "Insulated Lining" or "Survival Hood") that reduce storm damage or slow down how often it happens. This encourages preparation without breaking survival immersion. - Advanced Consumables to Resist Storms:
Introduce craftable or rare consumables—special drinks, injections, or pills—that temporarily reduce or negate storm damage. This lets players stay active, but with a cost. - Natural Safe Zones:
Add environmental shelters like caves, large trees, rock formations, or ruins where storm effects are minimized or nullified. This would encourage exploration and provide strategic places to survive without just digging a hole.
