Snowstorm

Snowstorms affect mostly your farms and your population. The snow covers the land and the farming fields, and winds become strong. Extra power is needed for heating.

Effects

 * The soil fertility base value is scaled down to 10%.
 * The windiness base value becomes 120%.
 * All power consumption is increased by 30%.
 * Citizens become sick because of the weather; approximately lowers Manpower Efficiency by 20%
 * This is independent from having enough medicine, enough vitamins, etc.

Preparation

 * Make sure there are enough power or batteries to handle the increased power usage
 * Make sure there are enough food to last during the snowstorms
 * Make sure there are enough Apples to last during the snowstorms if you are providing vitamins to citizens
 * Note: There are no indoor building that produces Apples!
 * Shut down some buildings if necessary to reduce power usage
 * If possible, ensure there are enough medicine or vitamin available so the Manpower Efficiency penalties are less severe

Tips and Tricks

 * You should have some Wind Turbines so you can produce a heap of electricity to use
 * Try to build some Indoor Crop Fields or Vertical Indoor Crop Fields to produce food even without enough soil fertility
