Ethlin Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I was about half way through summer when all of a sudden it turned to winter and started snowing. I didn't activate the set-piece winter trap, so I have no idea how this started happening. Any idea what caused this?

CaptainChaotica Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Huh. First of all, was it your own server or somebody else's, and was there anybody else playing with you? If it was someone else's server, they could've set the seasons to random lengths without your knowing it--and one of the legit choices for a season length is "none"--i.e., you can completely _skip_ a season. Do you remember seeing birch trees go straight from green to bare without turning colours first? Also, did it just suddenly happen during the day or was it summer one night, winter the next morning? The second one is how random seasons work; the other indicates a trap or some kind of shenanigans. And THAT'S where the "was there someone else playing with you?" comes in, as _they_ could've activated the winter trap off-screen. Now, mind you, those traps have been taken out of DST...BUT...there are mods involving set-piece placement that can possibly put those back in. I have one like that myself. So... EDIT: Took out the part about singleplayer season randomisation being different 'cos if it was SINGLEPLAYER, of _course_ Ethlin would know whether or not they had randomised their own world's seasons! (smacks self upside head) Duh. ...Notorious Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/73797-randomly-starting-winter-no-trap/#findComment-863649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethlin Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 It was my server and seasons were set to default (Fall > Winter > Spring > Summer > Fall) and happened right in the middle of a day, not overnight like when a season normally changes. I was the only one on the server at the time (I like soloing DST when friends are not on since it's much more difficult). Yeah the trees switched immediately and snow started falling. My server was an offline "solo-server" so I doubt it was anyone comign in and activating anything. I did a rollback and it didn't happen again, so I have no idea what happened that one time. I did have a few mods on, including a setpiece one that has those ones still in, but the one I saw I activated on the final day of fall, two seasons ago. And when the winter suddenly happened, I didn't hear the deerclops roar like you normally do upon activating the trap. Not sure, but as I said I did a rollback and it didn't happen again, so it's not a huge issue, but it was still really strange.

Arlesienne Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Clearly a bug. You might want to post a report in the bug tracker. Glad to hear you were able to roll back though.

HamBatter Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 The set piece can also be triggered by other things disturbing the fridge or chest. It should be reported as a bug if you can rule out mod influence and note conditions that contribute to a higher chance of reproduction.
