Planetary Shields are in the game, hopefully Paradox made them at the very least lessen the effects of storms.

*meteorologic calamity of celestial proportions occurs*
Montu: "Oh yeah, this will definitely affect the economy."

[PerfectAlibi]

Player in the Galactic Community: we need to make these storms less impactful on our economies!
Half of AI members: We need to protect the Tiyanki!
Other half of the AI members: We need to hunt these tentacled space wales, there is good gas in them!

Paradox: we made planet designation, special buildings and ascension system, so you should specialize your planets. We also balanced the game around this specialization, so it's practically the only valid way to play the game.

Also Paradox: now space storms can randomly nuke all production of the one resource your planet is specialized in.

Ground Combat: "Hey guys I heard it was time for a QoL and game mechanic update! I'm SO excited!"
Politics, Espionage, Primitive Contact, More Crisis: "We just called you here to show you the new weather."

A field day I shall have indeed, hyped for this one! 🥳

Clearly that a tree umbrella icon. Your civ will grow massive trees that block the effects of space storms.

[ArcaneFuror]

resource silos growing in importance by having a buffer to weather the storm is honestly nice.

[MrDoze]

This DLC looks pretty interesting. Would make storing resources more important if the storms can come in the early game. I also like the idea of directing storms towards other empires to temporarily disable certain resource production and punish the lack of storing resources on their part. Maybe with storm riders you can have a storm follow your fleets temporarily or something that would be awesome.

Like I said over on Aspec's channel, I hope they change the audio for the storms. I find the current storm audio so annoying/distracting that I actively avoid going into the system map when there are space storms about.

[TheDumial]

Montu, in the development diary comments, they stated that the effects of the storms in the video are old versions, the actual versions are much better

[bennyboy]

Looks like the DLC will make the already OP producing trades only even better as no storm damages trade production

[Le_petit_Togepi]

They already said the number and effect of the storm shown in the trailer are outdated and showed an example that is closer to the final product in the reply of the dev diary

Cloud seeding civic.
Wait.

I really hope under the information trades we get an option to trade weather info, so I can be a galactic weather channel megacorp, offering my services for a subscription fee

[TheRewasder]

If you can create storms in your territory, and those storms can give you a boost of some kind in some resource production, it may become the next step to maximize production. You have your nice planet, you get a ring around it, you get your edicts and finally you get a storm. It also sounds quite a lot like marriage.

[enlightenedterrestrial]

I'm really hoping for war and battle improvement DLC. Or genetic ascension, that also needs some love.

[pieterfaes]

11:23 The spraycan symbol civic likely stands for 'Weather Cultivators'. Its workings is that the more water you pour over your computer, the more game-breaking the storms you create become.

[Seer_Of_The_Woodlands]

weathering any storm is always a great experience. Great video !

[Galaidon]

Can't wait for red king to tell me about all the new stories that i clicked through, because i couldn't be bothered to set aside 1 to 2 mins to read through xD
