    is snow a bad game design?

    Do you believe that the Snow on newice:tm: is bad game design?

    I personally believe it's bad design, it's enough effort for marines to build a FOB then they have to get carpal tunnel with a shovel, and it's even worse on xeno side because without weeds they're doomed to fail. If the mechanic weren't y'know, spam clicking 100 times on 100+ tiles for xenos or with marines shoveling a tile, then another tile to drop it 100 times, would it be better?

    Do you think snow should just be a default andy tile that anyone can weed/build on with no downsides?

    Genuinely curious

    Snow sucks for the xeno side. Permafrosts happens too which block you the ability to build or weed something on it if a wall gets destroyed.

    I wanted to make not_liking_snow video for ages already, but I'm busy with other shit.

    The best idea I have for fixing xeno snow *pain is giving boiler acid clouds snow clearing ability.
