Avalanches

One of the constant threats in Laysara is the occurrence of avalanches. While players cannot prevent avalanches outright, they have the power to take precautionary measures and be prepared for such events. Strategies may include planting Forests to create natural barriers, constructing Avalanche Barriers to redirect snow flow, or even initiating controlled avalanches to minimize potential damage.
Avalanches aren't completely random; they are influenced by the weather. Heavy snowstorms and snowfalls increase the likelihood of an avalanche, but the most dangerous moment is the period after a heavy snowstorm, when the sun breaks through and warms the snow.
Avalanches will rise in intensity, so keep in mind that you need to upgrade your protection measurements at some point. Your difficulty settings affect how fast this is happening. The exact moment when an avalanche rises in intensity is based on your population.
If you fail to protect your buildings and one gets hit by an avalanche, it will stop working until you excavate it with a Mr. Plow.
== Protection Measurements ==
There are currently two protection buildings that stop/weaken avalanches.
Forests offer protection against the weakest avalanches while also producing wood.
Avalanche Barriers can be used together with forests in order to protect your settlement against stronger avalanches.
