Permanent Summer
Why no permanent WINTER, SPRING or AUTUMN?

I like the forest but not when they only have permanent summer

I know permanent summer in arid, desert or jungle is a thing but guess what, this game have lot of mods but no mod to change it?

Permanent spring and autumn? Honestly?

There are regions with permament winter. Also you can modify the climate when you create a world

It might not label as perm-winter, but ice sheets and such are basically just that.

As far as permanent autumn/spring, those dont really make sense if we are taking into account the RimWorld seasons are Earth-like. Which, if it has seasons already, it must be at least similar, making "permanent spring" illogical.

Regardless, I feel like im getting a little too deep with reality into game.

Permanent spring or autumn doesn't make sense. The "spring" and "fall" nature of biomes is based on the activities of the biomass versus anything to do with specific air temp. So a "permanent spring" with earthlike biologics, the plants /animals would mature into "summer state" and stay here -- just a "permanent summer" with a lower max temp.

Permanent Summer and Winter are both in the game, and they are tied to the games growing season mechanic. When the growing season is 60 out of 60 days, the game labels it permanent summer because there is never a period where you are going to have to stop planting. There will still be a "Winter" where it gets cooler then it will in the middle of the summer (Septembuary in the Northern hemisphere, not many people actually play in the Southern Hemisphere, but it is properly reversed), but if it doesn't actually get cold enough to kill crops the game will still call it summer.

Likewise if you settle far enough north (Or South if you are generating the whole planet), you can get a growing season of 0 out of 60 days. Then it is permanent winter, because you are never going to be able to plant crops outside.

Permanent Spring or Fall just make no sense in this context. Both seasons are defined by the change of seasons from summer into winter and vis versa.

By the way, these seasons are not tied to biomes. They are tied to latitude primarily, and influenced by mountain and water formations. You can easily get a cold desert, or a temperate forest that is scorching hot. Obviously you can't get ice sheets where Ice would melt though.

There is a planet editor mod out. But never bothered to see if you can get perma-winter in specific biomes. Although in the end the basic game mechanics will be taken into effect and no trees will spawn if it's too cold for those types. Then you just got a basic ice sheet or frozen tundra biome anyway.

I'm going to agree with the others that permanent spring and autumn (or fall) makes no sense. Spring and autumn are transitional periods from winter to summer, or vice versa. If there's no transition, it wouldn't be called spring or autumn. It'd probably just be called "blimey, this year's a bit nippy innit?"

Adds new Biomes and settings for planet generation, including axial tilt.

Earth is tilted on its axis at 23.5° relative to our star, which is why we have seasons. If you change that value to 0°, you would basically get no seasons. The equatorial zones would be a ring of hot desert and shallow, overgrown seas with average temperatures lowering the further you traveled north or south. A planet like this would be a nightmare, and most likely uninhabitable, but you could definitely make a Rimworld like this and settle in whatever environment you choose.
