Snow walls and tree tops

[Mike G.O.]

So, this is not acutally a bug, because is not a code, graphics or game malfuction, actually it all works good, but it gives a gameplay issue.

On winter, while snowing, snow wall form on every surface, as expected. On the top of the trees too. But, because snow wall does not have gravity, when I chop down a tree, the snow walls remain floating. This is not a serious issue (on spring they will melt) unless somebody decides to climb a tree while another person chops the tree, traping the character that climbed at the top, and then freezing to death.

Here is a pic of the issue (the character is already dead, but the objects remain on top of the snow walls): https://imgur.com/a/NdSCU2f

Ya, I've been on the fence about whether or not I should remove the snow block mechanic. Seems to not be great. Even if I had gravity, it still causes lots of pathing issues.

Well, I personally like that the snow blocks entrances and that, so I must use torches to protect them. I just think its broken when the snow floats and characters cannot get down from it. Anyways, whatever you do to fix it or change it, I like the game very much.

It's not a bad mechanic at all, but if it's a pain to code around maybe scrap it and rework it post release. It could be something that ends up being purely graphical, which is fine.
