Winter content

Were inspired by critique-and-ideas chat in official discord here

To make winter more interesting, and provide willing to play this season game will need something more than new salads, birds, etc., some additional mechanics unique for winter required

Challenge mechanic:
Snow Yeti. Can be found wandering on snow during winter. Strong as a troll or mammoth, valuable meat for variable food, high base quality, unique curio.
Would be cool if yeti will have mechanic to prevent cheesing or attacking from water by casting ice spikes from ground around him, which will make a circle of objects which will block projectiles or lock his target in this circle with him, to prevent running.
I believe yetis will worth for pro and mid tier player groups seek them during winter and have "fun" hunting.

Food mechanic:
Just make some additional mechanic that will allow you to eat more/receive less hunger/drop hunger faster, etc., which will give players motivation to play and cook during winter.

This is what I posted before :

Winter should be fun it should be a time of bringing people together. Instead of making people feeling cold in winter. Why don't we try to make people extra warm in winter when they are at home?
For example :
Let us celebrate christmas with our hermit neighbours and buff the bonfire bonus in winter.
Buff the bonus from tea or coffee
Let us make snow articles as curio's, let us make jule goat as curio's.
Let us make a snowramp or ski circuits with snow.
Let us build iglo's
Let caves spawn icespikes which can be studied
Let snow yeti's live in caves

A good idea is to make animals that should be hibernating in the Winter to spawn inside the caves but sleeping. Also make them "Sandy Cheeks woken up from hibernation" strong if one decides to wake them up.
