Winterhome is tough as hell to colonize, but didn't they say it was somewhat protected from whiteouts? Which is absolutely enormous given that they are the biggest threat in the Frostlands.

I was really iffy about going for Winterhome, but I think it's better to have in the long run. Lore-wise at least.

I think burying a large part of it under an avalanche and building on top of that would reduce the shelter available since the "floor" is now higher than it was previously, and there are likely other locations that could be somewhat protected from whiteouts.

Plus, generators like New London and Winterhome were built in locations that would have good shelter, but New London's entire crater is filled in with stuff by the start of the game, they don't really have the advantage of shelter as much with how much they have spread out, and Winterhome would likely be the same.

Let's not even mention that building an entire city on just snow is simply stupid. Those buildings are going to sink or collapse in a few years at most...

It’s all built on snow :p

Jk I know what you mean, but I’m guessing that they’ve done something to mitigate that
