With this addon enabled, you'll finally be warned properly in case of any natural disaster occurring, not just evacuating mission disasters anymore.

Features:
  • Spawns a marker on the map (same duration as the alarm sirens)
  • Sends you a notification whenever a new natural disaster is occurring.
  • Broadcasts via radio from the disaster location.
  • All above features can be toggled in the addon settings.
  • Tells the magnitude of the event.

is it possible to force spawn a tornado ?

With the modding you could modify the current antenna components to have higher range. Surely some one must have done that already. That would automatically work with this addon to improve coverage

Geometa should implement a way to modify the range of an antenna... Or some way to spawn in a broadcast signal without using a physical antenna block with a configurable range.

You can't mod in a hidden custom antenna block, can you?

Was kind of hoping the newer modding tools would make some kind of simple solution available.

Hello Peekofwar, I'm afraid the radio signal distance is limited by the radio antennas that we have available.
To keep the addon lightweight and not put more stress than needed on the game performance, I'd rather not spawn multiple radio towers to send signals instead of the current single one.

Is it possible to extend the radio distance for the tsunami? If you're too far from a tsunami, you don't get the warning. Maybe the distance could be calculated by the radius of the tsunami somehow.

would be cool if you could manually change the sizes of the natural disasters, i think there should be a mod for that.

So, sometimes you don't get alerted to certain events such as tsunamis due to the center being too far for the radio.

Something that would be interesting, is if there could be a new version of this, but made as a game modification leveraging the new modding support which could potentially provide more flexibility and allow the system to work from across the map.
