Introduction
By advancing your research, gathering the necessary resources and acquiring the necessary skills, you will gain the ability to construct a 4-tiered building system that changes the temperature, weather and weather events. They will apply a temperature offset at will starting at +/-10 degrees Celsius to +/- 75 degrees Celsius. The buildings have sounds, they reacts to power loss, and they can be scrapped.
Current features
[list]
[*] 4 seperate buildings that allow you to change the temperature from +/-10 degress up to +/-75 degrees
[*] 4 seperate buildings allowing you to change the weather
[*] 3 buildings with the ability to end weather events (ie cold snap)
[*] A researcheable tech tree
[*] The upper tiers are able to end weather events
[*] It does [b]NOT[/b] fix the temperature to a specific number, the buildings only apply an offset to the existing temperature. So if the temperature is 10, applying an offset of 21, then the new temperature of the current tile will be 10+21= 31 degrees Celsius. The offset is applied to other tiles as well, but are added to their respective temperature.
[*] There will NOT be version with a fixed temperature. It is possible to code, but would place an extreme demand on your CPU, meaning it would either melt or explode. Or your FPS is extremely low.

Notes
Unfortunately some weathers that should not be selected still pop up in the selection screen. I was unable to code the filter to select the right weathers, so that's something you will have to accept.
Why is Royalty required?
Royalty is required because the atmosphere adjuster is a variant of the in-game weather adjustment event where you can find a building that modifies the temperature. That specific event came from Royalty and not the base game, and as I am not sure whether or not using a piece of code from a DLC and then modding it, and using it as a seperate mechanic(?) without listing the DLC (where the original code came from) is legal, I figured it would be best to make Royalty a required DLC. It would be a shame for the mod to be removed and not being able to be used by others, and I would be the only one enjoying it, if Royalty wasn't listed as a requirement. More mods = more way to play the game = more happy people!
Future features
[list]
[*] End weather events (cold snap/heat wave/et cetera) with cooldown - Done!
[*] hange current weather with cooldown - Done!
[*] Tiered atmospheric control systems, with each successor having an expanded feature set regarding the weather and temperature - Done!
[*] Terraformation (in some sense): the successor of the highest tier of climate control systems, being able to change surrounding tiles of the world map into different ones and possibly changing the current biome or changing the planetary tiles--> maybe in a distant future...
[*] Freak events regarding the weather control stations and all their variants, like a switch of the current and surrounding tiles into an ice sheet, malfunctioning/sudden exploding control stations, freaks storms, et cetera--> maybe in a distant future
