Mod Summary
This Mod brings some slightly challenging and more lifelike feel to the in-game weather systems. This will bring extremely hot summers (topping 100). This gives fatigue affects if temperatures aren’t managed correctly.

Winter will also drop well into sub-zero temperatures, meaning you’ll need to deal with the environment like never before!

As always, our mods will make things slightly more challenging. We’re extremely careful to always keep things balanced and in tune with the base game though.

WARNING: We have NOT tested values at the extreme ends of the available scales. If you insist on changing the settings to options this extreme, we are unable to advise on the effects this may have on your world and characters!

Main Features

Weather, Daylight and Temp Changes

This Mod will bring:
- Full Weather Customisation

By Default:
- Warmer Summers
- Colder Winters
- More variation in Season temperature
- More variation in Daylight hours (longer summer days, longer winter nights)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mod Options
Latitude Variation – This will control the position in latitude of your Game World on the Real World. We have set this slightly higher than the default to give a more accurate reading for KY and hence more accurate weather. Adjust this as you wish, further North (higher value) will result in Milder Summers, Colder Winters, shorter summer nights etc.

Max Temp – This will control the Maximum Temperature you’re Game World can reach.

Min Temp – This will control the Minimum Temperature you’re Game World can reach.

Season Variation – This will control the variation in Seasons between years. So think along the lines of 1993 mild summer, wet winter etc., higher value means more variation. We recommend 9 here to accurately reflect some of the insane Weather changes witnessed at speed in KY. Increase further at your own risk.

Thanks for your response. No pressure at all! Your team's dedication is admirable. A work around I might try is starting Dec 1 I might try switching to Cryogenic Winter (easy mode at first) with the "permanent snow" option enabled which claims "an almost permanent snowstorm".

@Oach - Thank you for all your kind words!

We're slowly porting our other mods to B42 at the moment and this has our main focus. This is certainly something interesting and I'm certain there are ways to create fixed weather systems... Although I don't know how "exposed" those parts of the code base are too modders. We'll do some digging at our end over the coming weeks and see if I can give you a better answer on this!

Please feel free to swing by our discord and bug me on this again in a few weeks. Next we're hoping to bring Meds, Cures and Delays to B42 as current plans stand.

Hi! Love this mod and has been an essential addition to all my playthroughs since I first tried it! I'm currently running an insanely low loot run while also using Surviving Through Seasons to really apply pressure to prep for winter. A way I would love to amp up the challenge would be to have a perpetual blizzard starting Dec 1 or there about and run all the way to the end of Feb. Is there any known way to do this?

@ethel †

I am honestly not sure... I'm not familiar with this mod or what it does/uses. When in this situation I have always found it best to fire up and new game with JUST both these Mods installed and see what happens for a few days/weeks.

I'd also try starting the game from a few different Seasons just to make sure nothing crazy happens further down the road.

My suspicion here on first pass is that the mod you linked is more a GFX effect than actually affecting the weather system itself. But I must stress I haven't had a chance to look at the code. Fingers crossed with a little testing this will turn out to be fine and you can enjoy both!

As always - Swing by our Discord with your Console.txt file if anything does go crazy and we'll see if we can make sense of it for you :)

@Skipper - This again sounds like mod conflict with another weather mod etc. Our mod adds more extreme weather conditions to the Seasons but you shouldn't be experiencing anything that crazy - we certainly haven't on any of our servers and we've been running this for a few years since B41!

As I mentioned to marshmallow below - if you'd like some assistance in working out what's happening there, please drop by our discord and bring along your Console.txt file, we'd be more than happy to take a look.

If you'd like to "reduce" the effects of this mod then all the settings offer customisation from the menu. Perhaps try reducing the Season Variation by a single digit would be my only other suggestion?

Hope this helps!
RãקּŦɵ۳ ™  [author] Apr 5 @ 6:47pm 
@marshmallow justice - Thank you for the followup and apologies for the misunderstanding. I've cleaned up the thread here as it's a bit overkill for Mod Comments!

In answer to your original Q at the bottom of the post - Yes this is very likely mod conflict as if you try this on a fresh server these problems don't occur. I hope this helps.

If you'd like some assistance working out what conflicts etc. please drop by our discord and bring your console.txt file along and we'll take a look for you!

Hello, is this mod compatible with SportXAI's Sunlight [B42]?

Why there is a snow like outside when it's raining in july?
marshmallow justice Mar 13 @ 12:00pm 
Hello, lovely mod, curious about some things

From the description I thought it only makes things hotter or colder. But from reading comments, there is rainstorms/thunderstorms?

In that case - does it work with the mod "Weather Events" that you can choose to also add Blizzards or Thunderstorms. I thought I would need it so I added it, then our server had a 'thunderstorm' (with thunder sound fx) for almost 3 days straight and the logs said it was Weather Events but higher up there was also "Calculate weather front strength" section with a lot of detailed info, which I assume was this mod.

Secondly, our characters seem to be hot all the time even after stripping almost all our clothes off. Unpleasantly hot 36-37c despite being in practically underwear. Is it a mod conflict?
