Reworked Temperature Extreme Events [1.3]

Description
Summary
In the base game, heat waves and cold snaps apply the same temperature offset every time they occur. A heat wave will always increase the map's temperature by 17C, and a cold snap will always decrease the map's temperature by 20C. This mod makes heat wave and cold snap events more variable, without inherently making the game easier.

Details
Event
Min Temperature Offset
Max Temperature Offset
Vanilla
Heat Wave
+10C (+18.0F)
+20C (+36.0F)
+17C (+30.6F)
Cold Snap
-13C (-23.4F)
-23C (-41.4F)
-20C (-36.0F)

Compatibility
No known compatability issues. If you find one, please report it here.
Works with existing saves.
Removing the mod from an existing save is completely harmless.

Dev Mode & Code
To see exactly how much a heat wave or cold snap has altered the map's temperature, you can view the message which is displayed inside of the in-game developer log. I have included the source code (.sln file in assemblies) for anyone who wants to learn how to start modding with C# and assemblies rather than just editing xml files. The source code and xmls used in this mod are all commented, for clarification.

I would like to see this adjusted if it gets updated. If the mod is going to nerf the set values as much as it does, it should also buff them to equal values. As it currently stands, this mod makes this event too easy, since the vanilla offers a set challenge, and the paltry buffs here do nothing to offset the substantial nerfs.

Rather than Heatwave +10/+20c it would be something like +12/22c (5 either side of vanilla) with an optional switch to +15/27c for a more challenging version. Subsequently, Cold Snap would be -15/25c (-10/30c for increaded challenge version)

Hi, I can't be certain how much the mod settings allow because I haven't been on in a while. But I do know that I added some mod settings that allowed you to increase the temperature offset. Check out the mod settings and let me know if what's already implemented works for you.

Assuming equal distribution, you still had made the game easier by lowering heat wave average temperatures by 2 degrees Celsius and rising cold snap average temperatures by 2 degrees Celsius. Still, the mod is a good idea. Could we perhaps get the chance of editing the average temperature and offsets? That'd make the mod a lot more convenient for a lot of users.

Updated for 1.3

Technically no changes were needed, but the update is there regardless :)
