Way to change temperature/seasons?

[Spooky]

Long story short, the world/spot i picked has incredibly long times of cold/winters, usually starting in early fall and ending in late spring. It's making the game incredibly hard to deal with.

Are there any ways to change the ingame world temperature/seasons? Mods perhaps? Help would be appreciated.

I don't know anything about mods, but you could try and move your people by having them gather up in a caravan and go start anew somewhere else

Change the underlined bit.

Can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen ;)
You chose your starting location, climate and all. If you now find you don't like it, rather than try to play god, simply restart or pack up and relocate your colony.

If you "deliberately" picked a cold region, and want to make it work, tech to indoor hydroponic farms. Once you got several going in an established colony, winter is easy: unlimited food in a nice, warm town even during freezing cold weather.

Mo mods needed.

Alternatively, restart your game and pick a nice warm place. No mods needed here either.

Cold starts are fun, I recommend sticking with it. I play almost exclusively on ice sheet because it's fun (no mods).

As ec928 says, you need to rush hydroponics and grow rice. Once it's up and running you will have as much food as you have power to grow it. Also:

- put a heater (more as required) in every large room
- heat corridors and distribute the heat to small rooms (bedrooms) using vents
- make sure your base is insulated with only a few airlock doors that lead outside
- make parkas and toques for every colonist
- get at least one thermal generator and isolate the circuit to your hydroponics

Or you could just get a mod, I guess...

Enjoy.

OK, so you are unhappy with the climate where you currently are.
Here is a radical concept for you.. migrate!
Yes, do as the birds do. Pack up your belongings and caravan to the tropics!
