50 percent. Either it happens or it doesn't.

And what is on the surface for Spring? Or Autumn? Or Winter, once you have Mactusk's drops?

spring: rain which also make caves and surface wet to kill bosses faster with morning star/volt goat jelly, frog rains, moose goose, easy farming since most of veggies grow in this season and being water most of the time and unique fish

autumn: chill season, unique fish, birchnuts drop x2 seeds i wish there were more content outside of bearger but atleast is the best season to build or do whatever activity since you dont need to worry about anything

winter: deerclops, klaus, mctusk. thermal unique fish, wet caves for what i pointed in spring

summer: unique thermal fish, cactus flowers,  drying racks dry food faster (i only added this because the list is lacking things and im not sure this is true as others pointed) antlion and fires happening off camera

if someone is happy about that okey good for them but why people is against having more content outside of wanting to win an argumentation with random s**t instead of arguments? if i want to play a game that doesnt get updates i play DSA

yeah go sailing in dst you will get the amazing rewards of:

fish

stone fruits

kelp

bells

fishing gear

worse dark swords that are also better dark swords

salt

just remembered waterlogged biome exists! amazing rewards of: leafy meat, grass, berries and spiders. yay

these kinds of posts are so weird because it feels like its just listing off things about the ocean with the idea that we're all supposed to know its BAD and INADEQUATE and then we're supposed to agree but... i wont lie that is all super super good stuff?? youre making it sound lame intentionally by simplifying it, but even then, damn... ocean super cool and good

very many things worth risking your life for and sailing around aimlessly or after exploring the entire map. also you are gonna need a lot of boards. and stingers. and oars. and time to spare looking at rocks.

you dont have to sail aimlessly. my way of exploring the ocean is always to search for a bottle immediately and then go straight to pearls island, which helps me find most all the points of interest. the only one that i dont always find is the lunar island, but by that point i have a whole half outline of the map and can pretty well tell its gonna be on the opposite end

also the material costs you mentioned have just shot down a TON in the newest beta!! super nice

summer: [...]  drying racks dry food faster (i only added this because the list is lacking things)

As far as I know this is not a thing, but if it was, I would appreciate it from both thematic and mechanical standpoint.

Also winter is the best season to mass cooking food, both in crock pots and drying due to food lasting longer and no rain in case drying racks; since winter insulation is taken into account and not summer insulation, its a good season to fight bosses on top of multiple polar lights with enlightened crown and winter insulation equipped (on beefalo, with shield of terror for armor, or maybe thermal stone but I need to test last option first before I claim it definitely works).

Spring also has increased regrowth rate to a lot of things and mobs going aggressive mode which player can take advantage of in the early game, but in late game it still remains something making world more dynamic from thematical standpoint.

In summer if one bases in oasis, there is guaranteed source of fresh water (relevant for early game farming, for example, for spring start). Also increased regrowth rate of some things is present as well.

Anyway, as I wrote, I would welcome new content and revisit of old one, both for summer and for ocean (wildfires, treasure chest loot table, treasure chest chance of spawning, their maximum amount, generally lack of action at sea).

Speaking of wildfires. Yet another story of summer sailing: I with a friend sailed in order to find and fight Crab King during summer on quite simple boat (fire pit, birdcage, crock pot, lightning rod, ice box, pinching winch and 2 chests, not much flammable things on it as one can see); it was success, but towards the end of Crab King fight our main boat (not the one we fought on) catched fire and was all in flames; we almost lost it, but luckily managed to extinguish all fire with ice staves. But if it had happened 10 seconds earlier, we would have lost boat. The only way to prevent it is to build ice flingomatic on boat, no fire pump, watering can or water balloons (due to short casting range) would help us in this situation. It's not difficult, it's annoying and just a reason to start rollback vote (in mentioned case of Crab King fight); as for general usage of anti-wildfire gear, ice flingomatic takes a lot of boat space and snowballs miss if boat moves at reasonable speed, so one has to constantly stop a boat. Same problem happens with fire pump and water balloons, ice staves are bad for multiple closely located wildfires, watering can is really slow and can't be refilled at sea, so luxury fan is the only reasonable option here, but not when people can't perform appropriate action: during fight and fishing, for example. So... Can wildfires be revisited, please (it's not even first time I write this), ideally means to combat it as well?

I still think the idea of an area that's usually covered by water but dries up and becomes available in the summer, is a cool idea--even though I was floating that idea long before we could, well, actually float.  Before boats and a sailable ocean.

STILL sounds cool to me, though. 

...Notorious

That is such a cool and interesting idea

A placebo effect would be if the drying racks worked faster in summer just because you believed they did. :P

But anyway, it's not true. You probably saw a suggestion about it and misremembered it as a fact.

lel true, idk know the name in english then of that phenomenon of believing that things happens even if not

btw, i wrote placebo effeft so your argument is invalid

They may seem to work faster just because rain is much more rare in summer than autumn and spring, and people are very busy in winter to dry meats on cooldown. But yes, efficiency is the same.

My suggestion, I believe. But maybe other people also came up with it, it's a shame there seems no way to search through archived threads (if there is, tell me, please).

Just turn wildfires off

You literally compared a small game mechanic that is only relevant in a single season and is easily solvable to a whole ******* game. 

Why would you play a game if you don't earn anything (including fun) by engaging in it?

surely you can see how turning off a mechanic you dont enjoy is different from literally not playing the video game at all

[Mantispidae]

Honestly?

I'd love to see them, similar to this one just being a big focus on improving systems, plan for some big seasonal/world reworks and such. Maybe even one season at a time focusing on the most important ones like Summer.

Obviously the seasons are mostly very good! Summer is kinda the ugly duckling of the bunch, but at the same time I feel like they could potentially make all of them more interesting in different ways. Like it would be neat if there was more stuff unique to each season in general other than how annoying it is to do the same things you normally do.

Well I mean, if they give you the option to turn something you don’t like off, and then you don’t turn it off.. then yeah that’s kinda your own fault.

Let me ask you a question: Do you think everyone who plays this game, especially the ones on PlayStation & Xbox knows that Hound Waves contain Fire & Ice Hounds? 

Better yet: Do you think that everyone playing the game can stop what they’re doing to guarantee everyone in the server is in the same area to fight these hounds?

And last but most important question: do you think those Newbie players have any idea that the Red Hound they’re attacking in the middle of a forest (that only barely has a “slight” coloration difference to a standard hound) is going to catch fire upon death and then set the whole forest ablaze?

This game… was never meant to be easy, and as much as some people hate it: Wildfires are a part of that.

And yeah yeah I get it “it’s not a challenge it’s just annoying..” or whatever.

But maybe just maybe- The “Challenge” of Wildfires is to be an annoying almost completely unavoidable thing that happens?

Just like for anyone who doesn’t know about Antlion: Will spend their entire summer convinced that the climate is getting so hot that the very ground beneath your feet is cracking into craters, and I’ll be the first to tell you: If you do NOT go fight or appease this Antlion the amount of carters it spawns per attack period increases. Giving off the “Illusion” that the world is becoming increasingly hotter.

Wildfires can’t happen in Early Summer, Late Summer, Afternoon or Night… so it already has PLENTY of Counters… the issue comes in when you have to play with a bunch of random people who may not know those counters…

The SAME type of issue you will have when the Newbie Wendy joins the server leaving Abigail on Riled up Mode all the time thinking that’s how your supposed to play as Wendy- and in the process kills your Large Fruit Fly or worse, Kills all the lovely Firehounds and all inside your base right out of range of your Iceflingo.

ROLLBACK

*Everyone else in server: Bruh.. now I have to repeat everything I just did 30 minutes ago.. thanks!”

This franchise isn’t meant to be easy, summer isn’t meant to be easy, and many many many many complex gameplay mechanics aren’t meant to be easy….

And there’s literally no amount of casualizing the game for beginners that Klei can do to change that without also giving the entire franchise a facelift into something it wasn’t.

Id rather have a cave update with better generation and less filler biomes.

You can literally play the game without wildfires. TRUST ME, you will defenitely not miss it. I don't play with them since 6 years and 80% of the playerbase do the same. No wonder Klei removed disease. It's only a matter of time they do the same with wildfires (sure it could be more appreciate if they would rework them, instead of removing).

Compact base design seems to triumph in summer for this reason... managing more than a handful of flingos for a base can be very tiring and repetitive for people who wanna keep working on their base in the summer. A reasonable change that doesn't seem too demanding is making rainfall easier to manipulate with the telelocator (or other items like End is Nigh). It gives people the option to make rainfall easier, to prevent summer smoldering but doesn't make the threat of summer completely gone. Maybe even reintroduce dripple pipes with the grass gators (and gives more meaning to visit that biome). Those are my only suggestions to make smoldering better. I'd see it less an issue, but for most players basing in oasis seems to be the meta because creating a ton of flingos are either costly or hard for most players to manage in a huge base. Also, they dont really look good when they have to be sprung everywhere in a megabase.
Also please.... when a smoldering/burning item is unloaded, please don't make it appear as burnt when it's loaded next... It seems a bit unfair, especially if it's offscreen.
