CST Mod says the weather manipulation seems like a pretty natural trade, but with the caveat that isn't the only possible resolution.

We're aware that some of our answers are very open and non-specific when it comes to nerfing and similar things. We really don't want to limit players on how they creatively negotiate the setting and ideas of the game as long as the players engage in good faith. We know that can be a little frustrating when we haven't had a chance to establish norms yet but hope it will pay off in the long term. If you have a resolution you'd like to try, sell it to us in the app. If it's not too far off, we'll work with you.
