Weather, not just a detail.

Its on the drawing board, and im sure you guys have plenty of ideas for it, but heres my two cents.

Basic Weather like Sunny, Overcast, Stormy, etc.

During Sunny weather, which would look like it is now, normal animal spawn rates and such, same as usual.
During Overcast, Butterflies, Squirrels and Rabbits don't spawn, as they are keeping in their holes to stay warm, normal animals are less common.
During Storm, Animals are rare, Fish are plentiful(continues for x-hours after storm), open fires go out quickly, and decay ticks are twice as common.

Also, maybe some rare events like Hurricanes/Tornadoes that can cause havoc on structures, excluding walls of course..

These are just a taste of some things you can do with weather.

Seasons are an overall determiner of what weather is most common, and possibly Seasonal curios/plants/animals.

Like hot making your stamina drain faster unless you're nearly nude and cold making your energy drain faster unless you have on a coat or something?

Sounds good

Would make wearing heavy armor an issue all the time. Since you start to cook in your metal shell.

I don't see the problem, all pvp would be done armor less and therefore balanced albeit more quickly decided, and hunters would have to get creative/ wear leather and keep the defenses up
