Hardcore Winter: basically The Long Dark's weather and cold, brought to Vintage Story.

I'm tired of living through every winter; I want to die on a hardcore 1 life run. I want winter to be something to fear; where storing up food in the cellar is about survival not collecting wealth.
But when I die; I want that death to have been earned by winter, not some cheap win.

  • Deep snow, up to 10 blocks. Adjustible like most things in the config.

  • Blizzards, rated F1 to F5. Howling high-pitched wind, thicker and bigger snowflakes, and a whiteout that swallows the horizon. 

  • Heat System. Heat and Cold system; the larger the room the more heat sources you need. Heat builds up gradually. Close the barn door or you will freeze to death.

  • Heat sources that finally matter. Ovens; firepits, random blocks of coal you light on fire, peat ... they all count towards heat. And if you place them around snow or ice they will melt/fall through.

  • Fire spreads. Open flames have a chance to spread fire, if you can see a flame the answer is most likely yes.

  • Spring regeneration. When the thaw comes, the snow recedes and your world returns exactly as it was. Builds stay intact, and the berry bushes and crops that spent winter buried come back instead of getting deleted.

  • Snow Drift. It drifts and banks against walls, slides off your rooftops, and piles unevenly across the land instead of coating everything in a flat white sheet.

  • Frozen lakes. Water freezing speed is increased and has a smoother transition starting from land to center of water masses.

  • Multiplayer Tested: Works on servers and thoroughly tested. Not just "I only play single player not sure" or "It works on my machine".

 

Temperature System:
This is not fully tested with body temperature or DieHydrate
If you want to see the "real feel" temp or "room temp" you can install StatusHudCont'd, there are additional drop downs that allow you to customize your HUD.

Heat\Cold do not directly affect the player, but indirectly through heat and cold sources
Rain and wind will cool your body temperature
Any space recognized as a "room" will either heat or cool depending on the size and heat source
Heat slowly rises and slowly falls same as cold in rooms
Opening and closing doors affects the stored heat/cold in rooms
Sitting next to a heat source is warmer than further away in a room
Heat sources will melt nearby snow and ice
Greenhouses will heat up to +8c +1 additional fire source (meaning a campfire in a greenhouse should heat it up)

This mod is NOT ready for public use. I'm releasing so I dont have to keep giving my friends the .zip files every time I have a new version or change.
I am currently running this on my own server though if that tells you anything (with 5 ish people).
Version 1.0 will mean its fully tested and ready for live-production ready worlds.

I started this in 2025 and gave up due to the complexity and rabbit holes i went down with:
Rainmap hijacking, solid layers in the fluid layer experiment, multi threading - do column calculations on a seperate thread then push to main thread, data locks and crashes from those incorrect fighting locks, 
  ever increasing column rules definitions and complexity, regeneration support for mods that add more food/plant types, half block terrain support, ect.

0.7.76 tasshroomhardcorewinter
1.22.0 - 1.22.6
99 13 hours ago tasshroomhardcorewinter_VS1.22.6_0.7.76.zip 1-click install
  1. Rivers, rapids, oceans and hot springs no longer freeze - only still fresh water turns to ice.
  2. Ocean ice from older versions melts back into saltwater instead of fresh water.
  3. When winter hits, the ground turns white right away instead of waiting for a snowfall.
  4. Snow now keeps up with you - new areas whiten within seconds as you travel instead of trailing bare behind you.
  5. Snow edges blend naturally across hills and valleys - no more straight lines at chunk borders.
  6. Lakes freeze and thaw as a whole with natural ragged edges, not in stripes.
  7. Loose stones, ores, flints and boulders buried by snow all come back in spring - nothing is ever lost.
  8. Small plants get buried as snow deepens and return in spring; tall grass shows snowy textures.
  9. Digging snow removes only what you dug - piles no longer shrink or grow on their own.
  10. Gentler defaults: milder blizzard cold, faster spring melt, shallower max snow, less slowdown wading through drifts - plus heavy performance work, so big servers run smoother.

Attempted to make more realistic snow with drifts and settling and experimenting with falling snow layers and blocks.
Ended up introducing floating snow and snow spawning in areas it shouldn't.

I LOVE the mod, but i can't use it because it causes my rapids to freeze :( also it replaces rapids water with regular water post thaw. I would love a toggle for freezing rapids <3

joshrino, 19 hours ago

It is currently summer in my save and i ran the uninstall command and removed the mod. Is there anything else I need to do in order to properly remove it?

Tasshroom33 , 16 hours ago
@joshrino: It is currently summer in my save and i ran the uninstall command and removed the mod. Is there anything else I need to do in order to properly remove it?

No that is it, the command is mostly to just remove my snowblocks and set them as vanilla snow blocks. But it can only do so if the chunk is loaded.

Nosh, 21 hours ago

So, there doesn't seem to be a config file attached to this mod at all? I can't find any config in my mod config folder, unless it's named something unusual. Any advice?

Shazza, 1 day ago

Love this mod conceptually, but the room heating mechanic seems to not work if it drops too low (or, I guess doesn't have a clamp and keeps following downward)?

Literally inside a 1x2 closed space, firepit roaring with firewood, +7.5C warmth from clothing, body temperature is still in freefall as the outside has gone to -27C. Lowering NakedComfortC from 15 to 5 fixed it up, at least!

Rythillian, 1 day ago

Not sure if it's this mod but sometimes when a create a world I spawn in on january first in a snowstorm with my temporal stability at 0????

MANEL190, 3 days ago

this update optimized many things now, sadly sometimes when i log off my vs crashes

@MANEL190: this update optimized many things now, sadly sometimes when i log off my vs crashes

Do you have the error log? I did fine one issue with the greenhouse code bit causing an error but that has been resolved now.

YahWeh, 3 days ago

This looks amazing.

Tasshroom33 , 3 days ago (modified 3 days ago)

v0.5.7.3 - Unstable update

Another column scan optimization update, another performance increase from the last update.


Ok guys I have to say with 5-6 people online with this version this is my favorite version so far. Went from 15tps to 28.5, next update should allow for more optimization than is needed for 50 players.

The snow is actually drifting realistically, I built a stairway down to a storage room and it completely filled it and smoothed the top so i had no idea where it was (before everything was pretty much the block + snow height on top) and the snow acted as just another blanket layer on top.


Make sure to delete your config and start a fresh one. The modconfig folder.

Tasshroom33 , 4 days ago

I think for future releases ill just have "stable" and "unstable" versions. It's just a reality that some are more hardened and well tested than others, some have new changes that are more likely to break things than others.

Tasshroom33 , 4 days ago

0.7.20 - 0.7.32 were causing quite a bit of lag and tps issues, which are partly resolved in 0.7.46 and I'm working on the second half of that update now.

GOODYOB, 4 days ago (modified 4 days ago)

Does anyone else experience significant server tps slowdown with this mod? When I load a new or an old save TPS of the game gets so bad that entities like animals and rust creatures get stuck in place and teleport around. Happens specifically with this mod. I wonder if it's a problem specific to my modlist or not

GOODYOB, 1 day ago
@Tasshroom33: Try out the latest version and let me know what you think.

It's very impressive. Not a single TPS drop

felgudink, 4 days ago

tried to remove the mod because it was lagging me a ton and now my world is filled with error blocks as far as the eye can see

@felgudink: tried to remove the mod because it was lagging me a ton and now my world is filled with error blocks as far as the eye can see

there is a specific process you must do to uninstall, /thw uninstall on, load all chunks that have this mods snow in and then you can remove the mod

So in my server, it currently has not rained in months (ingame) even though the area we are in is common rain, could this mod be causing this issue, just a question.

@GalaRlte: So in my server, it currently has not rained in months (ingame) even though the area we are in is common rain, could this mod be causing this issue, just a question.

It's possible, but I haven't experienced that while using the mod, and I have experienced something similar without the mod. 

Especially if you see clouds in the distance and it occasionally rains elsewhere, I would guess (without more information) that it's just a quirk of the weather patterns.

Any idea what would cause snow build up to skip entire chunks? It almost seems like the snow meant for the chunks on the right ended up in the chunks on the left. I thought maybe the house was causing snow drift to not end up on that side but the snow border goes for a while, there is snow across the lake on the right side of the border so im stumped but its a bit immersion breaking.

Sorry DeegoFronk that seems like a pretty big immersion killer. I changed the chunk load system in one of the last udates in an attempt to create more realistic snow drift and it caused a few issues. I rushed the update so I could put the update on our public server , but didn't realize this was another bug that wasnt tested enough. I'm working on fixing this and the last 10 reports now.

No worries! I can handle my Immersion being broek now and again this is a work in progress afterall. im honestly just relieved to hear its a known issue and being address and not some crazy mod conflict or my chunks or climate maps being corrupted. I can live with it for now lol, i love the mod btw and greatly appreciate your work!

@DeegoFronk: Just wanted to say retested on the same save with the newest update and the problem is solved. Thanks Tass you are amazing!

Anytime! Sorry this mod as far as complex systems is massive and it's easy to add a feature and screw something else up. I'm cleaning up my code and systems now and adding a proper mutiplayer muti client (in different chunks) test to get a per system tps report and auto throttle

Rilla, Aug 9th at 2:44 PM

Hi, If I update the mod all the snow blocks become question marks. any way to keep the mod up to date and not have this happen?

ZexReaper, Aug 9th at 12:28 AM (modified Aug 9th at 4:12 PM)

Winter arrived in a playthrough I'm doing and most of my chisled blocks converted to game:block-air, even simple blocks like a chisled sideways slab block. Seems like only chisled blocks with their top layer exposed to the snow are affected. I'm not using any chisel mods so I did some messing around (after making a backup) to re-create the issue by disabling and re-enabling the mod to see if the problem persisted. Also seen that chiseled blocks and snow have been a consistant issue for VS in general for a while.

 

I have no idea about coding or modding or anything of the like so being able to do this stuff might as well be wizard magic to me. Thanks for the hard work, love actually struggling with food and temp during winter.

Any idea how I can fix this:

8.8.2026 10:36:47 [Server Warning] [THW] SNOWFALL IS BEING DISCARDED: apply queue 80512 is over the 80000 gate, so banked snowfall is dropped instead of landing. 8 levels dropped so far.

Nothing to fix, it's just the code being loud because I built diagnostics of server/snow performance in. If the log is spamming that is the only issue from what i can tell. Spawning millions of blocks is demanding and it's always better to have less snow than cause extreme amounts of lag, its the throttle working.

Quick question, do blizzards destroy windmill sails?

Tasshroom33 , Aug 7th at 7:09 PM
@MikeSyrup: Quick question, do blizzards destroy windmill sails?

They do if the snow blocks the path of the windmill, best advice is to config to less height stack for snow, or build the windmill taller from the ground  like the snow config value + 1 from the bottom of the longest windmill sail.
If it broke sometimes you have to dig 1 snow down to find it.

Kiko, Aug 7th at 12:59 PM

I'm unsure if I've managed to get the "Heat and Cold System" working correctly, the only config option I've disabled is the blizzards (planning on playing with them once I understand the heating system better).

Does the heating system update Outside Temperature, or player Body Temperature?

In either case, is there a way of seeing "Room Temperature"?

If I make a greenhouse, should I be able to see the + bonus to the growth temperature in there from firepits and such on the farmland, or on the crops? (Unsure if this has been implemented but some comments here lead me to believe it is).

Is boiling water meant to melt snow and ice, or increase room temperature as am extra heating option, they currently do not seem to (even with the config option enabled for more heat sources)?

Hey sorry Kiko been so busy building that i didnt stop to explain it or write it down. I'll try to update the desc. I have not touched on boiling water yet.

"Temperature System:
This is not fully tested with body temperature or DieHydrate
If you want to see the "real feel" temp or "room temp" you can install StatusHudCont'd, there are additional drop downs that allow you to customize your HUD.

Heat\Cold do not directly affect the player, but indirectly through heat and cold sources
Rain and wind will cool your body temperature
Any space recognized as a "room" will either heat or cool depending on the size and heat source
Heat slowly rises and slowly falls same as cold in rooms
Opening and closing doors affects the stored heat/cold in rooms
Sitting next to a heat source is warmer than further away in a room
Heat sources will melt nearby snow and ice
Greenhouses will heat up to +8c +1 additional fire source (meaning a campfire in a greenhouse should heat it up)

Thank you for your response. Just a few things: StatusHudCont'd doesn't have that functionality built in, it's one of the things mentioned in the comments. EDIT: Found the Patch mod you made that includes these specific measurements, thanks!

For greenhouses, is this a bonus just for the "room temp" or for the crops inside?

Hmm good question, I assumed room temp = temp for plants but if the game is just scanning outside temp instead of room temp... I'll take a look later.
I can see that might be the case, as with pies they dont seem to take room temp into account they take outside temp into consideration for their spoil timer.
A minor oversight on my part, thanks for bringing it up.

I didn't find anything like that, so I'll report the bugs I've experienced so far, with the most recent version, 0.7.23:

 

  • a bunch of chunks of the map don't show liquid. 
  • the ocean is freezing into lake ice, as if it were fresh water

v0.7.32

  • World map stops using the fluid layer to paint the world map in certain scenarios
  • First day of spring melts normally instead of in checkerbox chunk patterns of all or nothing

The last version had a bug where placed blocks would count as the new highest terrain block for the rainmap and it would save that previous grass and put it on top of the placed block, that is fixed. 
Not sure about flat maps, I'll look into it.

Oh I'll test the newest version then, perhaps that was the bug and on flat maps that was technically there. Flat maps have very very odd climate distribution.

Paruza, Aug 5th at 5:11 AM

Love everything you're trying to do here. I'm a fan of your hunting mod as well. I have a couple suggestions:

  1. I think you're making two different mods here and it would be cleaner if they were separated. The winter changes, and the heating changes. The audience for the room heating changes is undoubtedly much higher as well, I know it's been a pet peve of mine for a long time that heating inside buildings was just free.
  2. Naturally room heating shouldn't be super cheap, historically people went through quite a lot of firewood through winter, and heating a large space even more so. Heating a greenhouse in winter should work, but be impractical for anything large scale. In the guilded age, year round botanical gardens were a common display of wealth. The heating requirements were one part of that.
  3. Liquids should be able to break the containers they are held in when left in freezing temperatures. Relevant for survival when running hydrate or diedrate.

Thank you, this mod is definitely a tough nut to crack.

1.) I definitely agree with you, while the mod is about winter mostly the code is split in two sections; winter and temp. It would be easy to divide them as they are all their own seperate classes already and barely interact with each other.

2.) Right now greenhouses are +8c max from sunlight + 1 additional heat source; what I'm testing on right now feels about right for larger rooms\halls with 2 campfires going. What do you think of the wood use/heat?

3.) DieHydrate and the other temp mods definitely need more integration love; the snow has been receiving most of the attention right now.

Running into a strange issue where it's snowing heavy and sub-zero for days on end, but there's no snow accumulation at all anywhere on the map. No changes to starting lat/long and am in a temperate biome w/ common rainfall. Some snow generates in certain chunks but it only in that chunk with a weird checkerboard pattern.

Ha yes i was wondering if i was the only one that noticed the audio issue. That would be great thank you. I wasnt sure what to do trying to keep the sound file small yet have it loop both right and left, I don't mess with audio much.

thanks for adding interaction with greenhouses! is there an explanation of how much fires heat them? say for example, could one build a heated greenhouse at -50 degrees celsius and it would still work?

also would suggest compatibility with the boilers and pipes in Pipes and Power as that system would be a great way to distribute heat to areas of your settlement

It's definitely not compatible with anything that punishes you for heat right now I've been focusing on the cold and vanilla heat, but havent looked into compat with diehydrate or immersive body temperature.
I need to re-balance torches and other heat sources and add something more realistic. It's additive right now and weighted pretty strong towards heat which isnt realistic.

@MikeSyrup: Just checking in, is this safe to add with immersive body temp and diedrate now?

It's safer but not 100% tested against them. Before the heat was unchecked but now both cold and heat operate on a more realistic curve for heat sources, it's a work in progress.

A few things I noticed after test running the mod:

  • The snow accumulation is very funky with buildings, which is especially noticable with BetterRuins or any of the trader outposts. It seems like instead of snow blocks, game:air or game:rocktyped-snow- appears on top of stones, bricks and chiseled blocks or irregular blocks (i.e. blocks with complex models, beams, clutter) and it never accumulates.
  • Leaf litter from... well, Leaf Litter isn't getting covered by snow at all, seemingly no game:air blocks or anything else.
  • Also very often snow accumulates in giant single block columns on tips of trees when Deciduous Trees and Eco Machina are used.
  • Custom snow is not affected by gravity. For example breaking bottom block of a column like the one mentioned above leaves it in the air.
  • Vanilla snow shovels don't work with the custom snow at all. Would be cool if they did.
  • Particles spawn in unreasonable places. For example inside of a very deep vertical cave entrance, particles appear on the very bottom because just three bloks are technically open to the sky due to the vertical incline of the cave.

 

I hope at least one of these will help pinpointing the issue.

 

That said, the mod looks AMAZING and very promising. I've always felt that for all the "is this enough food for winter?" the winter is actually not a challenge at all.

Can't wait to dig myself out of my base at -50 degrees, 9/10

Though I wanna ask if you used AI, since description here and descriptions of commands in-game look very suspicious. No offence, the mod looks very good and you seem to know what you're doing, just please add AI tag if you did use it in development

@GOODYOB: A few things I noticed after test running the mod: The snow accumulation is very funky with buildings, which is especially noticable with BetterRuins or any of the trader outposts. It seems like instead of snow blocks, game:air or game:rocktyped-snow- app

Yeah the snow variants/rooftops/tree canopy/eave skirts/overhangs are a constant battle of performance vs strict rules of snowfall/drifts. Snow variants and chiselled blocks are definitely on the to do list to handle; I did solve this universally with pushing snow in the water/fluid layer but that caused a ton of other issues so i actually had to revert some of the progress in that area; with time it will be back to what it was.

Makes sense with leaf litter, i have zero compatibilty with that mod right now. I recently added worldgen half blocks and vs roofing support, ill look into Leaf Litter.

Yep Deciduous Trees "removes" but doesnt "remove" the leaf blocks so my snow has no idea what to do with it; another specific mod integration.

Yeah this is the default nature of VS, like if a forest burns all the leaves are just stuck in the air. It's hard coded into all the snow block classes, I might just create not just a new block using the snow class but create an entire new entity system and get gravity for "free".

The shovel thing is an oversight on my part, havent had the chance to take a pass on that, ill add it.

Not sure how to fix that one, that'll probably be last on the list (particles) I noticed it with rain with VS roofing and some other instances but definitely will get to it when the other things are sorted.


Thanks for the detailed list! Easy to miss some of these with something this complex, always helps to call it out!
Thank you!

Yes I use AI and I hate it. I was on a programming team back in the day and I miss pre-AI days but it's insanely good at unit testing and finding bugs. I have it run headless as multiple faked user clients for multiplayer testing which saves me about 3 days worth of time testing every day; but at the same time it surprises me how dumb it is, I'm constantly finding junior level code when i comb through every function.

Thanks for making your mods! I hope fixes will be as easy as they possibly can lol
And yeah, I can understand the frustration with AI. Love to see when people understand the problem and use it responsibly

These should be fixed in this version , working on the others for the next ( :
A work in progress for sure , it'll take awhile to sort all of this out.

Thanks JarOfMayonnaise, I have been trying to optimize for performance but these last few updates have been purely feature based and less tested. I'll take another pass at it but I havent been experiencing any crashing with the 20 or so mods I'm running. Crash reports and mod lists are always super useful though thank you.

Do torches spread fire (whether or not they're on torch holders/sconces) and do firepits spread fire? Just wanted to make sure I know for sure before I add this to a server

@MikeSyrup: Do torches spread fire (whether or not they're on torch holders/sconces) and do firepits spread fire? Just wanted to make sure I know for sure before I add this to a server

Configurable but yes by default open flame torch is 1, other larger open flames are 2, candles are 0(no fire spread)

Hxfl502, Jul 28th at 9:16 PM

Is this mod safe to add/remove in a world?

Tasshroom33 , Jul 28th at 9:29 PM
@Hxfl502: Is this mod safe to add/remove in a world?

Safe yes, ugly on remove yeah by VS design as they don't remove modded blocks and place white question mark blocks everywhere, and I add custom snow blocks.

But I could add a config option to purge all chunks or something, turn it on, clears them, then you remove or something.

Tasshroom33 , Jul 28th at 8:41 PM

Fixed body temp draining every time you rejoined after a server restart
Greenhouses actually warm crops now (sun + fires in sealed glass rooms)
Snow works on Terrain Slabs slopes (accumulates, melts, restores the exact slab)
VS Roofing compat: blizzards drive their roofs' own snow looks instead of fighting them

Bare roof frames let snow through (but beams still dust)
Snow blown into covered areas tapers from the open edge
Opening a door drafts snow in
Ice melts center-of-lake outward
Snow towers under roof gaps spread into mounds; tiles beside an open frame get their layers
Wind now carries loose roof snow over downwind edges

@Grimble: Instantly one of my favorite mods. Thank you, Tass!

Yay! Can't wait to show you guys the next update I've been working on with more reaslistic snow drifts; support for VS Roofing, and support for Half block terrain.

sloykqa, Jul 27th at 9:51 PM

Hemlo, can mod conflict or don't work if i have other mods that can sort of affect temperature? Hydration mod has stat changes so im not sure if its armor good or mod don't work

Blaiyze, Jul 27th at 3:20 PM

Broski. My dude. Pal. MATE. BUDDY.

I've been wanting something exactly like this ever since I started playing Vintage Story - especially the indoor heat requirement (vanilla is a bit bleh, walls don't instantly mean it's warm inside dammit!).

Thank you. Thank you thank you THANK YOU! Cottagecore vibes!

Viosmic, Jul 27th at 11:04 AM

Cool looking mod! Would it presumably conflict with weather changing mods like WeatherStory? 

AverageSwede, Jul 27th at 4:14 AM

hey my friends and i have this on our server and we noticed that every time they join it lowers their body temp a bunch and they start taking cold damage

Tasshroom33 , Jul 27th at 7:19 AM
@AverageSwede: hey my friends and i have this on our server and we noticed that every time they join it lowers their body temp a bunch and they start taking cold damage

What temp and how fast are you losing body heat from full to freezing? Some of that is built into the config files at default have you played around with them?

Tasshroom33 , Jul 28th at 1:37 AM
@AverageSwede: hey my friends and i have this on our server and we noticed that every time they join it lowers their body temp a bunch and they start taking cold damage

Ok i found the issue and it will be fixed in the next update, i was calculating the entire history of the player since last login which caused the weird temperature behavior.

Pell, Jul 26th at 2:09 PM

hey, i've been looking for a mod like this for a while! does the reworked heat system affect crops? i've been thinking of doing a frostpunk style world setup with heated greenhouses

Tasshroom33 , Jul 26th at 4:10 PM
@Pell: hey, i've been looking for a mod like this for a while! does the reworked heat system affect crops? i've been thinking of doing a frostpunk style world setup with heated greenhouses

Most of the heat affects the player unless the snow is so high it replaces the plant, saves it, and regenerates it when it thaws again.
The only thing that would change temp is the optinal config of a global extra cold setting value.

I am going to take another pass at greenhouses, the static warmth it adds doesnt really benefit from other heat sources or sunlight amt.

Volgirian, Jul 26th at 10:07 AM

Looks cool! but I got this large error at the start and in server-main.log

@Volgirian: Looks cool! but I got this large error at the start and in server-main.log Crash Report 26.7.2026 12:04:17 [Error] [tasshroomhardcorewinter] Exception thrown when attempting to retrieve all types of the assembly THWHudElements, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=ne

Hey yeah i fixed it already just havent uploaded the new version, I was using Status HUD to check my temperature balance with more optional displays/metrics. I stripped it out and added it to its own mod.

usherman, Jul 26th at 8:05 AM

is the fire spread feature optional? just because i use torches in torch holders all throughout my house with oak floors above them

Tasshroom33 , Jul 26th at 4:16 PM
@usherman: is the fire spread feature optional? just because i use torches in torch holders all throughout my house with oak floors above them

Yep! 100% optional in the config. And even if you don't disable it, fire spread for torches is like once every 16 hours or something and only if the player is nearby.

YESSSSSSSSS

Do modded heat sources like Eternal Stew, Panda Hearths etc work with this?

Not sure on that one, if its a heat source sure, if a food that warms you i'd have to look into it.

It should be a heat source as in it cookes food yeah! Thank you!

How does this mod manifest at different latitudes? My immediate concern is overpronounced tropical winters as the mod tries to fit its effects into the seasonal timeframe.

@BetaFire: How does this mod manifest at different latitudes? My immediate concern is overpronounced tropical winters as the mod tries to fit its effects into the seasonal timeframe.

It has a built in equatorial taper so that below a certain latitude the optional config of added cold fades to 0. It doesnt force snow where it's not already going to snow, it's precip/temp based. 
The goal is to make cold climates harder/deeper snow with blizzards if you want, not create blizzards in tropics/desert just because of temperature alone.

@MikeSyrup: I had a similar question, where we are some peach trees spawned, but it was too cold during our first winter with the mod and they died, is that because of the mod?

Yes I think so, the old default of -6 global temp and -6 during the harshest f5 blizzard would push it to kill off trees. The default settings have since been lowered.

Separate issue, our rivers have only unfrozen on the top layer and not throughout, there's still a lot of ice throughout the rivers, is there a command or anything we can do to fix that?

This sounds amazing. Downloading now to give it a shot.

This looks like exactly what im looking for. I have a question though because im playing a somewhat nonstandard timescale (30 day months) and ive found alot of mods and even the basegame in some regards isnt balanced for that.
How does this mmod handle winters that could be 90 days long? would i end up with just endless blizzards day after day? My worry is that it may be balanced for a 9 or 16 day month timescale and thus i will get alot more crazy winter weather on repeat for my 30 day months.

Yeah it's been so hard to just get non-destructive rule based snow and regeneration/drift working most of my time has been spent the foundation and not balance.
I did see on Extreme Weather there are some concerns about Late november and early december starting this  snowball (pun intended) of just 10 blocks of snow day 1 and its not "fun". Which i'd agree.
To answer your question its only applying a higher rate of snow really to F4/F5 which isn't forced weather, it cues off of temp/precipitation and allows the game to handle the rest. So more days per month would just possibly mean more days with higher snow height.

I have 2 more mods im working on, one to track players like "rimworld cassandra" narrator which determines the struggle, how much food stores, deaths , ect to build a dataset that can't lie as to balance and what players are actually experiencing.
The other mod is taking every single json file for every food item/entity that spawns/mushroom/berries/fruit trees/manual farm plots, ect determining their rot timers, growth times and syncing it to some universal sync timer to control days per month (the game just randomly has some things as days, some as month rated, some as real life time rated, nothing is consistent).

Interesting, ill definitely be following your work. Ive also been following your hunting mod and ive got to say keep up the great work.
A rimworld style narrative storyteller is fascinating to think about being implemented into VS.

i get its not really a public mod but this is so cool, only issue is the large stack trace error on startup

Good catch , that Status HUD cont'd patch deservies its own mod, ill remove it from Hardcore Winter and add it to my patch/fixes mod. It's just looking for something that doesnt exist.
Thank you.

ill update my mod thank you :)
question tho, is there a command to trigger a blizzard of chosen catagory or other weather events? i want to test this mod more in my singleplayer before winter hits in my MP world with friends and godforbid break my girlfriends past time >.>

yeah of course, they are mostly for bug testing so i didn't list them in the description but:
/thw will show a list
and its /thw blizzard 1 
or /thw blizzard 5, ect
i usually start off by /time speed 500 (default is 60), then /time setmonth dec, then /thw blizzard 5, then /thw snowreset after making it sping\normal time again to test the fast winter->spring->winter phase

thank you, one last thing ive now found with this testing, any chance at a compatibility to VS roofing?
noticed the soft snow pile spawns on its block then blocks the roof from the sky and removing the snowed on varient and then the normal snow stacks on the previous snowimage

Frazier, Jul 27th at 11:05 PM
@Tasshroom33: Yeah I'm running with that mod too, the geometry is a bit more difficult, I'll see what i can do.

Could you make it so if the snowpiles are too big the roof will collapse?

Tasshroom33 , Jul 27th at 11:11 PM
@Frazier: Could you make it so if the snowpiles are too big the roof will collapse?

Yeah it's actually harder to make the roof NOT collapse lol

Frazier, Jul 27th at 11:24 PM
@Tasshroom33: Yeah it's actually harder to make the roof NOT collapse lol

Ah sweet, I sure like realism. Pairing this with collapse story, then you actually need to build proper houses!

@Frazier: Ah sweet, I sure like realism. Pairing this with collapse story, then you actually need to build proper houses!

Fixed the VS Roofing snow thing, working on better drifts now.
Snow will actually fall through un-filled roofing now and use all the snow variants instead of stacking blocks on top. It was treating the entire roof mod system as its own block/entity before.
