POWER

Turning Storms into Power

Weather is an energy source, not just a threat.

  1. Install lightning capture

    Thunderstorms charge your farm's power — key for 1.0 automation.

  2. Let rain irrigate

    Skip manual watering during downpours; save the effort.

  3. Prepare for Month 4

    Harsh Dry Season needs crop protection and planned watering.

SETUP

A Weather-Ready Farm Setup

Build your farm for timely protection and watering throughout the weather calendar.

  • Check the forecast every morning — storms and acid rain give you a day's warning.

  • Build covers over exposed plots and group vulnerable crops together.

  • Install the Rain Falls Evenly gene to auto-water through dry spells.

  • Use thunderstorm power for 1.0 drone stations and the industrial zone.

  • Prepare crop protection and watering before Harsh Dry Season.

TIP

Farm Like the Weather Knows

If a storm is coming tomorrow, watering today is wasted — but charging today is priceless. Common mistake: treating weather as random instead of a calendar you can plan around.
