Weather Disruptor

Description
Stops tornadoes.
Information
The weather disruptor is very easy to unlock in research (microelectronics basics), but is quite expensive to build. It takes 500 steel, 1 orbital power beam targeter and 15 components.

It takes 15 days at 2000W full power to charge up. It can also break down, but this will not affect the charge progress.

The "activate" button causes the weather disruptor to strike any random tornado on the map. This strike does not cause fires or harm colonists.

P.S.
Nobody knows how power beams can stop tornadoes.They just do. This violates all known laws of meteorology and physics. Ancient artifacts really like doing that don't they?

FAQ
Does this require a new colony to work? No.
Can I remove this off existing saves? Remove all weather disruptors off the map.

Oh, you'd probably have to start from the very beginning then. The RimWorld Discord Server can help you more than I can. (invite code: rimworld)

Well I'm not really a coder so is there something explaining how to do that?

Apart from graphics, this and the power beam targeter have completely different mechanics. I'd suggest you just spawn a power beam and call the vanilla code `PowerBeam.StartStrike()` on the instance where needed.

If I "hypothetically" wanted to turn this into an infinite orbital power beam targeter how would I do that?

Fact
in the past a man created a machine that changed the weather and cleared a drought in order to test it but the government at the time took the technology because they were worried

Tornado killed my animals and set off all my morter shells then I thought of your mod.

i fucking hate tornados i live in a mountain still destoryed all my shit inside the mountain BUT NO DAMGE TO THE MOUNTAIN and could (if unlucky enough) cause basically a full WIPE of your colony restart from sqare one

A similar system was used in Arthur C. Clarke's Fountains of Paradise to manipulate the weather.
Those tornados are really a bother. they don't really give a dang about roofs, or walls. Can't say they bothered me much till one nearly took out all of my power generation. thanks for sharing!

@Dust The item is in Vanilla and is e x t r e m e l y hard to get. I haven't obtained one from a quest either :P
