Hm? Is this alpha 17? Maybe because they changed months they also changed Years? To bnbe called quadrum? Maybe its like 444444444444444444444444444.44444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444 million years?

Season. So, 19 days.

Local seasons now changed based on hemisphere, and what is displayed on the bottom right now is the quadrum name. Quadrum names are universal now but what season they relate to changes.

Jugust and Decembary are the more extreme seasons Summer/Winter (depending on location)

Aprimay and Septober are the tamer Fall/Spring (depending on location)

Not a fan of Tynan changing the season names either tbh but i'm sure there will be a mod to change that once the update hits.

Only 4 Jan Michael Vincents are allowed in one quadrum

He did this because the northern and southern hemisphere now have opposite weather like they should on any planet on a tilts and an elliptical orbit. Using seasons as the dates would make it wrong on half the planet. Plus you have caravans crossing the equator, all kinds of messiness.

So the new names are dates, not season names.

I'd almost rather that the time display use the local seasons, and any cross-region/historical dates be described just as day/year. So "the 47th of 5501" or whatever. And if he's not going to call them seasons he could just use the existing term for quarters of the year, namely "quarters". What are we going to get them confused for? (Again, I'd have no problem with a readout like "decays in 1 year, 55 days" - honestly it's less head-conversion I have to do.)

It'd be neat if the game displayed different seasons depending on the latitude, too, like a wet/dry cycle in the tropics.

Might be cool if they skipped earth seasons flow all together... like 2 ice-age like quadrums followed by 2 scorching quardums... to simulate a slow turning planet
Or a always temprate rainy sping wolrd.

I think there is an option for something like that in the scenario editor, I forget the name though.

Yeah its a strange word to use but i guess he had no choice.
You cant really split a year into 4 quarters... OH WAIT... Those are called seasons. HAHAHA
Yeah A quadrum is supposed to be, a quarter of a year. Sort of like a season.

I can see the logic in the worldbuilding, can't dispute the plausibility but i still find the quadrum names really cringe.

[Syndicake ☠]

quarter of a year so 3 months.
