Are ligthning hardcoded to often hit your fields?

It seems to me that the ligthning suspiciously often hit my fields setting them on fire. Am I just unlucky?

Depend ! :-)
Since the lighting normaly don't hit any roofed area, it will hit unroofed.
When you got all over the map big growing fields ofcouse the lighting will set them on fire.
Another good reason for a fine indoor farming ! :-)

I see. Well my base is not *that* big yet. There are still huge undeveloped areas of the map. Out of the total open areas on the map my fields takes up less than 10% of those open areas. However it really seems like at least 50% of the ligthing strikes hit my fields.

I once read that it is attracted to roofed areas, but I can't say if I have noticed any difference in my several hundred hours of play. Sometimes it's just bad luck. I eventually keep firefoam poppers in my fields, and I put a double square space between fields when I can to block spread.
