Defend your grid from everything the Rim throws at it: solar flares, lightning, power surges, and EMP.
SOLAR SHIELD
A field generator that idles at 100W – until a solar flare hits, when it draws a massive 2,500W continuously to keep your colony’s electronics alive through the whole event. Keep your batteries charged: if the grid runs dry mid-flare, the shield fails and everything goes dark until the flare passes.
STORM SPIRE
A grounded spire that attracts lightning strikes within its radius, keeping fires away from your base. The spire cannot burn and snuffs out any flames a caught strike sparks around it. Connect it to your power grid and it becomes a harvester: each caught strike dumps up to 1,500 Wd into your batteries – but carries a 5% chance of overloading the grid and triggering a "Zzzt!" power surge. Late-game perfect grounding research eliminates the surge risk entirely.
STORM CAPACITOR BANK
A lightning-only battery. Only spire-caught strikes can fill it, but it never self-discharges and "Zzzt!" surges can’t touch it. Automatically discharges up to 2,000W when grid production falls short.
SURGE PROTECTOR
Absorbs one "Zzzt!" short circuit event, then needs a day to recharge (and takes some internal damage). Pairs dangerously well with a grid-connected storm spire.
WEATHER FORECASTER
A barometric console that shows how long the current weather will hold, announces incoming thunderstorms, and warns you an hour before the weather breaks.
STATIC DISCHARGE PYLON
Runs exclusively on bottled lightning: every shock drains 50 Wd from a storm capacitor bank on its power net to stun and burn hostile raiders and mechanoids in a small radius. No capacitor charge, no zap.
FALLOUT SCRUBBER
Filters airborne toxins out of an enclosed room – pawns and animals inside slowly shed toxic buildup, faster than fallout adds it.
STORM CALLER
Late-game ionospheric agitator that summons a rainy thunderstorm on demand: lightning for your spires, rain for your wildfires. Five-day recharge.
EMP DAMPENER
Powered buildings near the dampener shrug off EMP stuns – turrets keep firing through EMP mortar barrages.
ARMORED CONDUIT
A fireproof, high-durability conduit for hardened bases.
STORM VANE
A decorative copper weather vane. It doesn’t do anything. It looks great.
Requires the Harmony mod. RimWorld 1.6. Safe to add to existing saves; deconstruct all Stormproof buildings before removing.
