For the love of God; make dust devils preventable.

We already have the MDS Lasers to stop meteors from wiping out our colonies, Subsurface Heaters to prevent damage during cold waves, and Triboelectric Scrubbers to (kinda) prevent damage during dust storms.

How come there's no way to stop something that's, compared to the other disasters, so minor? It's infuriating how a meteor swarm can fall right on top of my colony for a couple lasers to take care of it, whilst a dust devil can singlehandedly take out all my power production.

Granted, they're generally pretty weak and the damage isn't major, but still; having something like a big fan to redirect them away from essential buildings would be great.

Dust Devils disappear if they get to a launchpad or to a dome.

That IS in if you build the atmosphere to certain levels. Check the top drop down list.

The entry on the drop down list is for Dust Storms, not Dust Devils. If that stage does remove Dust Devils, that would be a good thing to mention in-game.

I believe that planted vegetation also stops dust devils (which gives it some purpose, hooray!)

if you see a dust devil, just drop a waste rock storage lot on it, that will cause the devil to dissipate.
