  1.1.0e01: Weather on Experimental!

  1.1.0e01: Weather (experimental)Hey Drifters!Yup! Weather is here!It's something we've wanted to implement for a long time, but it didn't quite make it to 1.0. Now that we’re exploring ways to let you customize your playstyle, it felt like the right moment to bring it in.WeatherWe'll be testing weather in various forms throughout its time on Experimental. Currently we've added precipitation, temperature and wind speed. With the former two affecting fields, crops and drifter needs. We're also starting to introduce the ability to customize your game setup. This will eventually include difficulty presets and the ability to create a custom setup. For now, we're testing the active setting: Consumption Rate. This means that food will have calories, and drifters will consume 1.000 calories per day. This rate is, ofcourse, affected by the weather :)EDIT 30/06/2026 - 1.1.0e03We've reworked weather into a more local event. Instead of affecting the entire world, weather now appears in zones that you encounter while exploring the map. This is still an early implementation, with only two weather zones available for testing: Tropical Rain and Heatwave. Various UI and clarity are still missing, but those will be added in upcoming experimental patches. :) Weather effects are also much more extreme now. They can significantly boost and even halt the growth of crops, fish, and other production.Weather zones now affect landmarks within. For example: in a Heatwave zone, Dead Trees become Burnt Trees that yield Charcoal. Farm landmarks become withered and yield Bio-waste. Default, potatoes are the most common crop. But in these weather zones, they might not be.Experimental and BetaWe're splitting the old Experimental branch into two: a 'Beta' and an 'Experimental' branch. The Beta branch will be for stability testing of completed features. Currently that means 1.0.1f4 will move to the Beta branch. The Experimental branch is for raw, unpolished features that will change a lot. This is wh...
