Have you guys considered expanding the weather system so it impacts farming? Sun would allow the plants to grow much faster but would require more water per stage and need to be water more frequently. Rain would slow growth but would require less water over time and would be easier to manage.
Also could you demo the weather effects that currently exist? I logged on to a terrible looking overcast / cloud effect. I'd like to see all the different weather stages as I have suggestions on what I'd like to see changed in that regard as well.
