I've downloaded Autohaven by a mistake after entering the forum and decided to ekhm run around there and there to check what's going on in haven.... so as I'm skiing and fishing, catching rabbits and snowflakes - it's kinda cool to play with all the snow around, Im glad I spawned in winter haha
If there was a global map with the northern winterland on it, I'd settle there without any farms etc. At first I was about to say PERMA WINTER and from time to time I'd made travels south to gather some forageables
But in scandinavian mythos, people rarely lived like eskimoo, more like the further north you go, the weaker summers and tougher winters you get..
So perhaps after you enter some area northern areas, the winter is much much longer.
But it'd be still cool if the top of the map was still like perma where your igloos wouldnt melt and you could live in igloos instead of houses
