'''Weather controllers''' are [[mechanoid cluster]] and quest [[condition causers]] that force a particular [[weather]].
 
 
 
== Summary ==
 
{{Stub|reason=How do weather controllers interact with each other? Do fog weather controllers prevent the automatic [[rain]] during a fire?}}
 
 
 
Weather controllers force a specified [[weather]] within a 10 [[world]]-tile radius. It has no impact on [[caravan]]s, but settling on a new tile in range will still cause it to be rainy.
 
 
 
Anecdotally, a weather controller inside your colony takes priority over a weather controller from the world map. {{Check Tag|Verify}}
 
 
 
== Analysis ==
 
When outdoors, weather will reduce the accuracy of ranged weapons. In addition, all forms of rain and snow reduce movement speed and give the {{--|3}} ''Soaking Wet'' moodlet.
 
 
 
Since weather penalizes colonists and enemies (even mechanoids) equally, weather controllers are one of the least harmful condition causers. You can leave them indefinitely without much issue. Though, since it slows down colonists working outside, you may want to take out the weather controller eventually.
 
 
 
For [[killbox]]es, the accuracy penalty can make a significant difference. However, if both the shooter and the target are under a [[roof]], then they are considered "indoors" for the purposes of weather (no matter what's between the shooter and target).
 
 
 
Note that weather controllers may be beneficial to your colony. Stormy weather increases wind speed, so increases the power generation from [[wind turbine]]s. Rain will automatically extinguish fires. If you can roof over major walkways and killzones, then you can keep a weather controller to take advantage of these (minor) benefits.
