After the latest update I went here to find a thread talking about this and couldnt so I just made one. Delete if I'm wrong please. Personally don't want seasons to be gone even though that means im more likely to be ganked in the winter as a result. I don't have any specific ways to address the issues people have with winter. Replace them with new game play loops only available in the winter even if its super cheesy like having players log in every 12 hours to cast a hibernate spell that speeds up curio research speed while sleeping. There are ways to address issues without removing whole parts of the game. However having climates in addition wouldnt hurt either, might actually fix everything at once. All the hardcore asshat no lifers can fight over parts of the map with eternal summer while the rest of us can be left alone even if that means some extra days of winter. If it starts leaning too much the other way and players dont want to settle in wintery climates there are incentives you can add along the way. Point is please dont just remove seasons entirely cause its annoying to address all its problems. Also sleds are too much fun. Thank you for a great game devs.
PS more ideas on how the hibernate spell could work. Only during winter you cast it and while you sleep the curio speed is faster but it drains your energy up to a certain point. Youll wake up with some lost energy. But only way you can cast hibernate again is if your energy is above 9000. Could even work hunger into it instead of energy which would make people stockpile weed too. Getting prepared for winter would start to look differently then.
