Question about Wind Shelters

[Chex Warrior]

Well, I just placed a wind shelter in hopes of pushing the storm back so I can get into the ocean and get that damn coral!
However, I cannot find the wind shelter on the region I placed it at! There is a boss section however, do I have to fight that boss to get the wind shelter or did I discover some sort of bug?

It actually places a wind shelter mission there, so that's in the first chunk on the surface dungeon.  Once you complete that mission the actual wind shelter itself goes up.

Hope that helps!

[Chex Warrior]

Yes thank you.

My pleasure!

On this note, Buoys don't seem to be working properly for me half the time.  Notably, they don't seem to lift the storm from any "Ocean Shallows" areas, though they will do it for Continental Shelf areas.

Dunno if that was intentional, but it makes them considerably less useful, as even if you Buoy out to a Shallows, it'll still be wind-covered.  This made it impossible to wind-block my only Ocean Shallows on the map...

That's working as intended.  The ocean shallows are considered land.  You can put a wind shelter on them if you need to.

... But you can't, because you need nearby non-storm covered land to place a wind-shelter...
Water isn't land.

Yeah, we'll probably have to change that rule.

For 1.013:

* The "wind shelter must be placed in a stormy-land tile next to a non-stormy-land tile" rule has been changed to "wind shelter must be placed in a stormy tile next to a non-stormy-land OR non-turbulent-water tile".

Thanks
