[en] None of the discussion so far reflects the fact that there is no correspondence between the word "Fair" and the word "Good."!! Nor does it (or Karu's wonderful weather chart) take into account the fact that "good" for one material is not "good" for another material. Not all sup's (or even exe's) in GoO are up at the same time. (I'm deliberately ignoring supernodes.)
Specific example: In Spring in the Void in the area south of Paramount Stock there are available excellent resources of both oath bark (yum) and big shell (yum). I have harvested large quantities of both of these materials (for obvious reasons). I have found plenty of "weather" conditions where I could harvest big shell, and many where I could harvest oath bark, and a fair number where I could harvest *neither*. I have never seen weather where I could harvest *both*. In fact, if I run into "weather" on one, my first act is to test to see if the other is up.
The same is true of the excellent beng amber and the excellent sarina seed in the Loria Ponds region of Lagoons of Loria. Once again, I have harvested large amounts of both of these and if one is down, it is likely that the other is up (except when they're both down).
So -- there is no such thing as "good" weather in a global sense. I'm not sure what choices Karu made, but the results will not, and cannot, be universal.
The display in the Windoz client will display different words than the one in the Linux client. They will even show you different animations!!! The words and the animations are linked. I have no idea what the connection between the words and the {humidity} (the variable that determines resource availablilty) is, but it is clearly broken throughout.
My take on it is: "weather" is fickle. I treat it as a random chance and go from there.
