One seething there is you mr saxdumby4. You cant fathom any other reason for not liking winter? It sucks on many levels. It's ugly. It slows building. It locks so much over content that it's just fucking forced break. It's pve players who lose more from this.

Post on your main account instead of making retarded alts you depth grobbling troglodyte.

I'm a pve player and I've lost nothing from winter, almost all the arguments against it are bad faith actor nonsense aside from it needing more unique content.

just fix the map being permanently cucked by exploring snow covered tiles (it is annoying in general and made stoat hunt incredibly stupid in particular)

no pressure tho, i understand that it might be beyond your capabilities as developers

ah, so many things are. Such, such necessary things. But I digress.

Winter needs to remain as is. But it absolutely has to ignore some biomes or some parts of the world. We do have snow all year round on mountains, why can't we have prolonged autumn into spring in some areas of the world.

Winter literally cucks almost any kind of gameplay not just pvp. Want to build anything? Unsnow under it first. Want to farm? Mound beds. Want to have your trees have seeds? Mound beds. It's not fun, it's not larpy, it's just an a punishment for you playing the game during winter. Who gives a shit about foragables and other stuff, they can make them as op as you want, nobody will ever use them to a higher extent because they can't be planted in the garden pots and curio is never a real issue. You want to go to an npc? Well prepare for your cuck session of sled driving both ways or going on skis, if you go out on anything else and get ganked you are literally dead have fun. You're perhaps doing some credo that needs you to pick something up or you just want to gather some shrooms/neetles for food? Literally go fuck yourself, have 1 shroom and some random bullshit curio. Want to hunt? Yeah the only good meat which is bear cannot be hunted during winter sorry go kill 1000s of stoats for a gild tho (only common in a specific biome enjoy). The only thing that's not cucked by winter is mining and i'm sure they will get around to it and make underground walls freeze during winter so you need a fire nearby to unfreeze them (and you suckers will hail this as the greatest addition ever you cbt enjoyers).

All seasons need more seasonal content, including winter.

Crops should be seasonal. More seasonal-version of animals, as well as trees. Seasonal dungeons or events.
It's a fantasy world after all, play with it.

As for mound beds, their heat system needs to be removed.
It's just a cheap tax to annoy players and fuck the few hermits that don't know about it.
Either all crops need to die in winter (making greenhouses more useful, which btw need an upgrade too), or just don't make them die at all if on claimed land. Enough with the mound bed spam.

A shorter winter is the worst possible idea.

I'm not like a game design genius or whatever but I feel like when you're "throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks", you're supposed discard the bits that don't stick instead of spending 10 years frutlessly trying to make the unsticky bits stick because u think they're cute

Winter is objectively bad, winter will PROBABLY never be good, and if winter is actually good it will not have been worth the opportunity cost
