wiidad Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Geat idea for a trap. How long does it last and how does it effect the next seasons? will it skip the current season entirely or return to the season you were in once its timed out? its not permanent is it?

spencer320 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Usually it just forces winter on you, should be a normal 15 day winter unless you messed with some of the settings. Hope your somewhat prepared for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope your somewhat prepared for it! thank you for the information!sounds great! 15 days of wonderful cool snow rather than the burning heat i was in on day 21. btw will it still be summer when winter ends or will it be spring first?

spencer320 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Just kind of look at it as a fast-forward to winter. So afterwards, it'll be a normal year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spencer320 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Try to trigger it again once summer comes.... Curious to see if it works. Probably not but you never know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptTripz Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Ok, so I found one of these and held off opening until the first day of winter (day 21) and it went cold for the rest of that day and jumped ahead to summer on day 22...This is ROG, so it actually fast-forwarded through winter in a day, skipped spring and dropped me in Summer. Obviously I was ill prepared for Summer and didn't even survive the run back to my base before overheating. Anyone ever seen the winter trap do that?

the truthseeker Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Since it's already raised from the dead... The trap only works the next day after you open the chest, not the icebox. Consider it a free icebox (and Thermometer) to be used anytime or Hammered/Staffed for the resources Whatever season you are on (now we have RoG,) it becomes Winter the day after the chest is opened and lasts your (including any customization settings) world cycle's typical Winter cycle, followed by Spring. That next day is Day One of Winter, so plan your future calendars accordingly. Other timer countdown items still count down/up accordingly. Since this causes the change to happen the next day, some people might state if opened on the first day of Winter it is "a day off." Those who want consistency want to open it the day before winter.

spencer320 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I started a new game to try out the William Carter mod. First day I found the and sprung the winter trap. It immediately starting snowing so I'm not so sure about the next day start. Maybe sometimes it does but everytime I've sprung it, it's been immediately.

the truthseeker Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 This was a "Winter Trap" topic. Please know (everybody) since RoG, there are BOTH Winter AND Summer trap set-pieces. The clothing inside will tell you what season will come the next day. Please go to this topic for all future correspondence as this was a necroed topic.
