Winter should be longer

[Dawidio123]

There is so much fun content during winter, like exploring the world using skis, sleds and even sleighs. There is plenty of winter-specific curios that you want to stockpile, you even get to stockpile the ice blocks. And the foragables allow for so much new food to be tested. Oh and the white stouts for the hermine finally something new and cool to hunt, It probably needs a bit more content but I really feel like 5 days is just not enough to experience all of it properly, why don't we make it a bit longer, maybe just like the other seasons 2 weeks. 5 days just makes me not even want to setup properly for it bcs it'll be gone soon enough, why even bother with mound beds.

I think the devs already agreed it should be longer. But it needs way more content. Add polar bears please.

[Gauhörnchen]

Hell yeah! Preach it!

I really like Winter it adds to immersion. But maybe what we actually need is dynamic weather that includes Snow at the beginning of Spring and end of Autumn. Like, you plant your fields, but the Harvest gets destroyed by Hail or Snow and then there is a famine or something (Okay scratch the last part, not very cool famines)

Correlation does not mean causation mate, who is to say that if winter came early the pop graph would change at all?

[terechgracz]

from this graph we can see that pop decreases overtime
solution: stop time

[Saxony4]

Winter does in fact, need to be longer. The snow and ice hasn't even fully propagated by the time its over, not to mention it ruins the minimap.

People not playing because its the holidays.. hmm must actually be because its winter!

[DonVelD]

can we have the winter be as long as summer so more people quit? thanks

[dafels]

I agree! I think we all can agree that we love snow PvP also

other ideas
1) add few special dungeons that spawn only in winter and only them having those animals (polar bear, arctic fox, or whatever...)
2) keep mounds but remove heating effect -> use green houses for farming in winter. Farming in winter is weird.
3) add winter crops (cabbage?, rye instead of millet?) that can be planted outside. BTW, it would be nice to get few plants with strong PSY
4) add seed germination: seeds left on herbalist tables outside over winter gain large random boost in quality
5) add 1-2 more curious that use ice and/or snow to make them (melt in summer ?:)
6) add tree icicles - a rare artifact that boosts leaning
