5 days winter

[kmarad]

H&H is supposed to be a survival game. "Unforgiving wilderness" right ? But winter is only 5 days long for some reason.
That's sad.

Winter should be harsh, and could be a very cool season, as it is very different from others, and would bring a really new set of rules.

We were discussing about it in Whatever kingdom and here are some suggestions :
- Skis : You can carry them in inventory (and belt ?), and they can be waxed for a boost to speed.
- Sauna : Water, stones, and maybe something to warm everything, gives experience once a week maybe, and bonuses to something, maybe constitution and strength after usage.
- Snowdrifts : Working like leaves in autumn, revealing stuff when you walk in them.
- Partial cliffs removal : snow would make the ground somewhat even, allowing for faster travelling.
- Feeling cold and related wounds when not geared properly (frostbite, hypotermia, frozen toes)
- Eternal snow biomes not only in mountains, but also frequent in the northern part of the map.

Please add some of your ideas guys, let's make winter great again !

Oh sure winter should be cool for sure. But at the moment what does winter provide other than a few days of no need to log in to Haven?.

A winter mushroom? white coat stoats if you happen to have the right biomes in your continent?

Hard pressed to come up with other stuff to do really than hunt, Quest & mine. So i mostly use it as a time to do IRL stuff.

i would love Yeti's, White fur for some foxes, A sled cart, Some foods you have to freeze in snow built building that melts in spring & overall more forageables both in the wild & in caves.
Gildings etc.

Another fun thing would be a snow dungeon thing maybe polar bears or well Yeti's.

Make Winter 10 days long but make Spring only 2 days long.

none of your suggestions makes Winter better the community mostly hate winter

adding more things to make the life for a new player in Winter hell which is already Hell by the way food is very hard to come across in winter tree seeds and fruit and bark do not generate or regenerate during winter there is no curiosity's other than the stupid snowflake in winter so getting skill points is difficult during winter for new players
it's also pretty boring for advanced players there's nothing to do during winter there's not enough early game or late game stuff in Winter to do
most people choose to update their study table and log out and do nothing during winter

there needs to be more pleasure added to Winter before more misery

if there was enough content I think every season should be 105 days but there's not enough content for that yet so right now it's best to leave it the way it is

I think spring and fall also need more stuff to make them unique from Summer as well
