Will LAST AUTUMN be the start of Endless Mode?
Happy Christmas to all,

I would like to know if the new expansion will be part of the endless mode, maybe its start. Just wondering, I'm about to buy this game.

No, it's a scenario

Yes, I understand this, but could it be part of endless mode?

elements from it will likly be added to endless at some point but we have no info on it at this point.

Lilkly at some point we might see a map that uses its tileset and building skins but there is nothing said about this at this point. Dosen't make sense for them to only use the art once.

Except the release trailer that tells us pretty much what it's about.

That trailer gives no info about endless as such my point stands we have no info about the subject my post was on at this point.

You cant just snip one part of a statement to try to correct it when the rest of the line is relevant to the statement.

Unless you can point out anywhere in the trailer it mentions adding anything from that to endless. Hint it dose not. As such no info on that aspect.

The only thing that will get added to endless is the map, as NONE of the scenarios lead on to endless. They are compleatly different things.

This not my question.
I would like a endless mode autumn that transforms into an endless mode winter.

Says you. You are not the dev and are unable to make that statment with any accuracy. There is quite a good chance beyond the map the building skins as well will get added to endless. No reason not to use skins already made. It comes down to unless the devs say they won’t do something there remains a chance they may.

Hell endless as a whole org people acted just like you are now saying it won’t happen only for endless to be added after.

His suggestion of a map that starts in autumn and plays into the normal endless mode may be added after the devs see this you don’t have the ability to say what will and will not be added to endless without a source. As said above thou there is no info on them doing this at this point. Dosent mean it won’t happen just that there is no known plans.

My statement also was based on previous evidence even mentioned within the post. Endless mode as a whole was org shot down by many people like you claiming it would never happen only to be added later since people asked.

His post is no different it vary well may happen, untill the devs say otherwise it is at least just as likely as any other idea. Past examples show that it may, not the other way like you claim. In fact the other story maps being added to endless even adds more examples of them using aspects from the main story's and using in endless showing they are vary likely to do that again.

Your post is based on nothing but cynicism saying something wont happen when there is nothing that shows the devs intent to not do so. With past examples showing they are willing to not only add endless as a whole when people asked for it, but also add to it.

The thing about this scenario in endless mode leading into an endless winter is that the scenario has a different law book and technologies which might make it difficult to insert in endless mode. Think about it. Let's say that in endless mode you'd have autumn for 30 days untill winter arrives. In that time you can progress very far into the tech tree, unlocking many heating and insulation technologies. When winter does finally arrives, wouldn't it be to easy?

That depends entirely on how it is made. We dont got that info as of now.

For all we know the last autem tech tree will be less about dealing with extreme cold but getting the generator up in the first place so more tuned to setting that up. As such would go into winter with about the same tech level. The 30 days would be used to get that generator going and the basics of a city into a endless mode that get harsher faster. This tech tree can be directly inserted in front of the other tech trees making more total tech levels. Obv with some changes made to each based on the situation.

It would only be a vary easy endless mode if the balance is done to be like that. Difficulty is always based not around what you are doing but how what you are doing is balanced.

Diff law book is the same. As we dont know what will be in that law book vary much might be things that are quite different. For example doubt we will see child labor there as doubt kids went on a expedition to set up the generator. So we start with one law book and move into a new one later on as settlers arrive as one example of a way to do it.

The devs vary well could make a endless mode based on a start in autumn it just comes down to if they want to put in the effort to do so. Given how the current endless is vary half assed done I dont personally think they will but that is not my call its theirs.

So, what is this:

"A new Endless Mode variant - Builders - that redefines the challenges players will face by providing different setups and solutions."

?

Basically you start Endless Mode without a generator, and have to build the special workshops etc. so that you can build it. The weather starts kicking your ass regardless, so, it's hard.
