I hope you will hear our (community) reports someday that a player-homed tornado that constantly chases the player is an extremely stupid and not plausible idea.

And let us make more co2 canisters and make them last much longer.

My starting two canisters disappeared and now I can't clean them. A tornado comes along, I have no power and all my plants die....

I'll tell you a secret - if you load the game save before the announcement of bad weather, it will still happen, BUT! with a high probability it will be of a different type, for example it could be a solar storm that does not clog solar panels.

The Devs are planning to add the ability back in, there are some bugs associated with printing the tanks right now.

I looked at the Unity files for the Big Tornado event and it does in fact target the player. It would be a lot more realistic to have it spawn in a set radius to you and then wander. Also it is akin to a class 5 tornado, I honestly do not know if dust devils on mars are that big but having them spawn and chase a player is a bit off putting.

it will be changed in one of next updates - generally its not a bug, rather bad design decision

Are 'Homing Meteors' also by design? I've had to restart so many times due to this - PLEASE let there be the ability/option to 'Turn Off' weather effects in Freeplay (even if it's only for Tourist)

looked up on youtube and was actually amazed to find out that dust devils do follow things in real life

I don't care what time of day it is, it is worth the health packs. When I get warning about incoming meteors, I head towards a abandoned base, preferably one with a garage to keep my ATV safe. I hang out there throughout the time of the disaster to keep my power stations and things from getting destroyed. It is the only disaster I leave my base for.

I admit being chased for 6 in game days by 2 relentless dust devils was scary and fun. I actually have to admit it happens in real life. check this out

My other issue with dust devils is that I can't sleep in this time. Why? There is no danger if I am inside the base, right?
