[feedback] Seasons

Currently in game its autumn (fall) and while the trees look good and give a nice vibe. The snow on the ground makes it feel more like winter then anything.

i even asked my wife who doesnt play games her opinion on what season it was and she said "winter, theres snow on the ground"

now i understand that its common in places to have snow fall in autumn but to go from "sunny" to 2 seasons on the run with snow feels miserable.

A suggestion would be to maybe have the bright vibrant autumn for 3/4 of the season and then for the last 1/4 of the season to migrate to a colder snowy feel as winter approaches.

love how the game looks just my 2 cents on this

    this should vary based on region/climate. Some locations should have snow in autumn and winter, some should only have it in winter, and some should have none at all. Better transitions between seasons would be good too

    There is 4 seasons and each season also gives you different crafting mats. It needs to be equal. Also it needs to be clear what season it is.

    Spend a week in west Colorado in October, snow in the morning and 70 that afternoon.

    This is what i mean tho i get places get snow, in the uk we really dont until January. but doesn't autumn in Colorado start in September. what's it like as its coming off the back of the summer, it doesn't go straight to snow you get that period where its all oranges and browns then it transitions however slowly or dramatically into the cold side where there's snow late sept early October

    Yep, EU here as well and having "winter" be fall was super surprising!
    To us most seasons would look more or less like this:
    Summer = Hot season. Lots of sun. Occasional rain
    Fall = Rain all the way. If it's not raining then it's getting ready to rain
    Winter = Snow (if you're lucky. Obligatory climate change mention)
    Spring = End of snow, some rain, mostly sunny but without the warmth associated with the summer.

    This also allows for a wide range of colours in the biomes. Now, do I think the current settings fit the biome we're playing in? Ehhhh, maybe? I feel like the left side of our map has a lot more mountains and trees associated with colder areas while the right def feels like it should follow the seasons as described above. Honestly, it's hard to say which option fits best. I -do- worry that if we're not getting a 'European' set of seasons here that we'll never get it at all. As far as I'm aware there's no biome on the roadmap that's only a few degrees warmer.
