As for the seasons: is it planned to implement season-dependent terrain palettes (they are hardcoded to use spring palette now)? How about changing entity appearance based on season (frankly I don’t care if it’s via changing the model or material map)?

[image] Requests from modders to devs for 1.0 and 1.1 Yes. Might not be the best place to ask this but since it was mentioned, just wanted to know: Will the calendar be somewhat changed for seasons? Right now the year is pretty much realistic (30 days per month, 12 months) which makes the sea…

[image] Requests from modders to devs for 1.0 and 1.1 Will the calendar be somewhat changed for seasons? Yes. A month will be 7 days. Which months are covered by each season depends on the biome. [image] Requests from modders to devs for 1.0 and 1.1 And just as a personal curiosity/anxiety…

To confirm here, in hot biomes winter will be opposite to winter in cold biomes ? Will seasons empower biome settings ? Cold + Cold = more slow etc. ?

Excited to see how that’ll work than. Does that mean season weather will overrule biome weather or will there be 2 possible weather scenarios together. Thanks for the clarification

My guess is that biome will have 4 weather arrays just like it will have 4 palette arrays (it currently has one called spring, so that is a ‘hint’)

This is what I wished to hear, f**k yes! Combined with the other information we got, it should be able to write some disaster scenario with the weather combinations.

About replacing models based on seasons, that is definitely possible, I did that in the Season mod 🍂 . But my guess the new system will be better and easier to use.

Roughly yes, except while the default biomes have 4 seasons, a modded biome can have any number of seasons.
