I don't have a clue what determines the weather conditions that will cause a mat to pop, but one thing I do know, is that I've been on exe mats for a whole ingame day (or night) and have been weathered the whole time. For exe mats that are seasonable, there is no way a mat should be weathered for the whole time it is diggable, whether day or night mats. This is a big problem in the game as far as I'm concerned. To sit on a site for 19 ingame hrs, approx 76 min and not get one spot to pop because it's weathered, isn't gameplay. That seems to be a built in irritant of the game. And to me, games are not meant to be irritating, they're meant to be fun. Even sitting on a night mat for 5 ingame, approx 20 - 25 RT min with nothing popping is ludicrous. I understand the need for weather patterns, but not for a dig site to be weathered to the point where you've wasted the better part of 2 hrs and not been able to dig a spot because of weather.
To me, this is a far more important problem to be fixed.
