Quick questions for you guys. Can anyone confirm deny that seasons might be coming out with patch 1.4 or short after ?

It's anyones guess really.

Yeah

But to remeber: Even Seasons is out, our favorite maps have to be updated for seasons.

I don't think daily feeding was ever a thing, maybe at the start but I'm sure you could feed animals for 3 days with seasons.

In 3 days the food will go zero, if you do not want this to happen, you need to feed every 2 or 1 day. Also remember we got
the animal cleaning problem. Everyday you still need to take care of animals. If we use the 12 days per month option, then
you need to do 144 days of work in a year for animals. I know in real life it will be 365 days for animals.
But now back to game, on this 144 days per year, how many days in year you need to do harvesting and other fields jobs? - not much
on speed of 5, most likely it will take 3-5 days, depending of the size of the farm. So basically this means 90% of the time you need
to mess with animals. So better not to get more job for animals. I prefer to do something else...

Those numbers are not correct... The time blocks for the year are broken up into the four seasons (spring, summer, autumn/fall, winter), not the months of the year. The maximum season length you could use was 24 days so the longest year you could have was 96 days. Each season was broken up into three transition stages: early, mid, and late. They would all be equal lengths and last exactly 1/3 of a season, hence why you could only alter season length by multiples of 3 days. Therefore, using a 24 day season, each transition would last 8 days. In theory you could consider each of these transitions a month as there would end up being 12 transitions in each year although that doesn't matter when it comes down to the gameplay.

I hope this doesn't come off as condescending, I'm just trying to get the facts straight so that any newcomers to Seasons reading these posts have the proper facts.

[TheCanadianJD]

Yeah

But to remeber: Even Seasons is out, our favorite maps have to be updated for seasons.

Actually no, Seasons will work with any map (unless the map has some weird global script that conflicts with Seasons). You just get slightly more functionality with one that has been prepared for seasons. The core gameplay stays the same regardless of whether the map is prepared for seasons or not.

[ltl.vamp]

We mean the same.

Wopster Tool isn't on the feature list

[Guil]

I'm sure someone asked and RM said yes but if you find it in the thread let me know and I'll add it to the list.

This may have been posted earlier and if it has I apologize but will the Wopster tool be available again? I loved being able to see how old my trees were and if I needed to thin them out with it. I thought it was a really nice tool.

Yes

[Tylercheesey1986]

Wopster will be in seasons 19, read in thread a while ago, before confirmed list was devised

[Gimli54]

Will the geos that launched with seasons 17 be available again with 19s launch or will there be different ones

[Guil]

I've added it to the list now.

[Shambala12]

Will the geos that launched with seasons 17 be available again with 19s launch or will there be different ones

I would imagine there will be the old ones, and new ones added once base seasons is out. Could be wrong though

[Gimli54]

I just thought I’d ask as I’ve been following this thread since it started and don’t remember a geo question coming up recently so since seasons is in the home stretch (94% so I’m calling it the home stretch) I was wondering if anyone from the seasons crew could tell us
