What needs to be done to talk about the actual climate of the game?

Does wind count as weather?

Night widget is a thing. Under Graphics.

I was thinking of a lightning shooting superweapon at one point.

maybe someone can make a gamemode where zenith meteors randomly fall down and they are the only source of metal, but they also destroy stuff?

That map is unsupported :(

Aurelian seems to have snow.

What about people who collected too much bad karma having a big black cloud above their com for a game or two, raining down on it and randomly stunning stuff with emp lightning bolts?

I was thinking a cheap Zenith could be fun.

With a cost-damaging effectiveness of blastwings and left metal on ground.

Tweak to 6000 cost, less damaging, control fewer meteorites - like 30.

Consider creating a mutator or tweakunits config then. Mutator route works pretty easy with minimal coding knowledge.

First copy a sdz from Zero-K/games. Empty it of everything except modinfo.lua. Create a new folder inside of it called Units. Copy this file and change some lines:

Damage (in all the weapon defs), MetalCost, wobbly. That at least takes care of the unitdef part of this. You'll also need to tweak the unitscript (Line 17 to be exact) for the max control part. It should be rather straightforward. You want to save this in the sdz's "scripts" folder (just create a new one inside the base sdz).

Last part is changing the modinfo.lua. Just copy this and overwrite it. Upload it here and create a new mutator here. You can use this (changing the game line to whatever you name your mutator). And you're done! That was easy, wasn't it?

Congratulations, you're a mod author now.
