space wind

Causes weather to occur on a z level in certain area types

The effects of weather occur across an entire z-level. For instance, lavaland has periodic ash storms that scorch most unprotected creatures. Weather always occurs on different z levels at different times, regardless of weather type. Can have custom durations, targets, and can automatically protect indoor areas.
