Winter is Boring

[tyrtix]

make garden credo -> too much to do in winter for those 10 days. Else, since farmer credo is prerequisite for many others, including potter and tailor, you still have a LOT of possibilities if you think a bit over them.

But it's still winter here! (Ok, I could have used that excuse two months ago.)

Edit: Stockpiled fruit +snow turns into a sorbet factory once you tap either trees. It takes planning during the last few days of fall but sustains mining well if set up.

If you've been stockpiling grains, fruits, etc, winter isn't that hard to survive. Just need to be a little more conservative with burning up too much energy.

Tbh, not even the last part: just use crappy meat to make butcher surprise.

I think winter is fine, but it could be better.

A couple of things that would make winter WAY better:
- Fix quests. Both NPCs quest and credo ones, should go with seasons. Getting stuck on quests for 10+ days is very annoying.
- Fix minimap/map. When it starts snowing, the map looks awful and becomes useless. Updating it with snow looks a bit better, but also makes it way less useful. Shouldn't have to re-explore the map to have it back to normal in spring.

As for the rest, sure winter is a slower time but there is plenty of stuff to do still. I understand if you are part of a large village and do farming only it kinda sucks, but that's just a good time to either pick something else up or take a break for a few days and come back fresh in spring!

Honestly besides the fact some decent curios/spices etc are not available and my empty bear meat cupboard, I actually really like what they have done with winter. I think the slow transition to snow/frozen lakes was really well done and if they improved upon the selection of winter related forageables then it could be even cooler. I mean the sledding on ice is just awesome, certainly is gonna lead to some interesting fights.

Besides things get to a point where most villages are just sitting on endless piles of resources, in some ways winter just acts as a way to counter act the resource spam. Feel like people just need to lighten up and rise to the challenge, prioritise other things during the winter.

this was the first mistake that was made

I'm actually quite enjoying winter. It gives some variation in the gameplay, and exploring via kicksled is a lot of fun. Most underground activities are also still fully possible, so I'm definitely not running out of things to do.

winter definitely feels a lot better this go around but i miss bears
