Well its not working here, but I believe its not a bug, rather a conflict with another mod. I'm not willing to dig it, because I have 100+ going on here.

It requires a new save because it depends on the day you land on the planet.
If it doesn't work with a new save, it's a bug.

I did use the scenario editor, but it has not worked. Could not trigger the condition through debug too; its there, but it turn off as soon as I turn it on.

This the canada mod

I'm having issues to start the condition in my save. I have to start a newgame for this to even work?

- summers will be scorching hot and winters, long and cold.
Welcome to Russia!

Kind of, it's a regular climate cycle based on an elliptical orbit.

ok so its like climate cycle but you worked out the kinks?
newcolonist  [author] Jun 24, 2020 @ 1:38am 
The other differences are it's not a sinusoid so winters are longer and summer shorter, and it also changes the stellar insulation, so it's dimmer (and colder) when the planet is far away on it's orbit.

@WaKKO151 not exactly, climate cycle isn't syncrhonized with the planet's cycles, so you'll get a chaotic result depending on the inteferences of the cycles.
In climate cycle ++ there is also a trend for hotter/colder climate.
And in the colder winter iirc, it's fall and winter only which are modified, but still with a trend (cycle multiplier.
I've added two pictures to illustrate the differences, you can see the elliptical orbit has a stable climateover the years (the difference between the two pictures is the start of the climate cycle), climate cycle period 4, cycle multiplier 5.

can i add this mid game?
WaKKO151 Jun 23, 2020 @ 2:52pm 
so this is the exact same thing as climate cycle...

I haven't tried but it could stack in theory.

are climate cycle and Elliptical orbit compatable?
martindirt Jun 22, 2020 @ 2:14am 
I see. Thanks.
newcolonist  [author] Jun 22, 2020 @ 2:08am 
No. The climate cycle comes on top of standard weather, creating a chaotic climate, like cold summers.
Same for climate cycles ++.
This mod synchs climate changes on the planet orbit. So summers will be hotter and winters longer and colder on a yearly basis.

Climate cycle scenario option is not the same?
