Seasons - weather is killing me
This is far to real...
Now I have had 9 months without a drop of rain!
Every morning I hope for rain, but nada...
Playing original seasons without geo mod, so it's supposed to be Britain. I thought they only had rain there, always
Maybe it has something to do with brexit?
Ok. Have a nice day at your farms people.

Yeah, Brussels was pretty cheesed at Boris Johnson, so they had the Irish build something that steals all the Brits rain.Perbjorkhem wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2020 6:03 am This is far to real...

Is rain needed for anything in game? All I know is that it prevents harvesting..

Plus some seeds Need water to germinate. Without parts of the field can fail in Germination.
Grass doesn't grow without rain? Wow - that explains why I don't have any grass field in growing state.

Maybe a map/geo conflict? Never suffered a lack of rain myself, but the loading screen does suggest a drought is a possibility.
Re: Seasons - weather is killing me
@OP: maybe increase the days per seasons, on short seasons the weather tends to be a bit unpredictable.

I had this problem with the original seasons geo, running 6 day seasons I would get a little bit of snow and then nothing for a whole year
I use the Wales geo any time I'm playing a British map now

Re: Seasons - weather is killing me
Just curious if there are real farmers on here, how often has weather ruined your crops in real life?

Re: Seasons - weather is killing me
Yes, I agree. I never had so long without rain but seasons without a GEO does not get much rain through summer and autumn, making it far to easy to get crops in and it kind of takes a way the challenge. I have made my own GEO mod now for when Sandy Bay is released - all weather is taken from Weatherspark, so is hopefully as real to life as possible. I am considering releasing it. But if you wanted to make your own or edit one, it is quite simple - I am entirely self taught!

Re: Seasons - weather is killing me
Seems like every year brings a new challenge. Two years ago was really bad winds here that laid all the corn over. This year was super wet spring, summer, and fall that made planting late and made harvest go super long and was always muddy. I remember in 2012 was a bad drought that killed the yields.

Re: Seasons - weather is killing me
We would always loose 10-80% of the crop due to weather, either drought, flooding, snow or hail. Where we farmed it would typically be 10 years when it rained regularly and things were ok followed by 10 years of drought and tough times.

I don't know how real farmers survive!
Re: Seasons - weather is killing me
First, what map are you on with the no rain. Just because you have not added a geo it does not mean the map itself does not have its own geo which would take precedence over the seasons built in one.
Second, a trick that worked before the latest seasons update is to go in and change the duration of the season to another number of days. So if your on 9 days set it to 12. then count to 5 slowly and change it back. This has an affect of resetting the weather system which may kick start some rain cycles.
