Three wishes

[Vinceofpyrenees]

I have three wishes for features I'd like to see someday.

I could enhanced the atmosphere : a new climate : thunderstorm, with sound of thunder and lightning. I miss this atmosphere.

And shooting stars, with a rare occurrence. I'd like to see them sometimes in a beautiful night.

A thunderstorm wouldn't make much sense. Considering it's the winter although I have seen one in the winter before. 

Shooting stars would be cool. Maybe even faint flashes of light from space debris falling back to Earth after the solar flare.

+1 to both.

This should go to the Wishlist section.

Yes I realised it, but I don't know how to move it.

Ask and ye shall receive  

There was actually an interesting discussion a year or two ago about winter thunder storms. Thundersnow is apparently a real thing but very rare. For instance, I've never heard thunder in winter the whole time I've lived in Central Canada.

However Raphael has openly suggested the grand vision would be 4 seasons of TLD - one for each of the 4 seasons in our environment.

In my estimation spring would be next, with all the potential for torrential rains, thunderstorms, flash flooding and humidity. Extreme weather would be amazing to see.

Seasons = thinning ice = more breaking through?  That may be a hard one to implement - dynamic thicknesses of ice.

Even more interesting: no ice at all and waterlogged wood

I live in a temperate region near rainforests, so while I don't have experience in a winter environment anything  like TLD, I'd be so excited to see a Spring survival sandbox. Leeches, bacterial/fungal infections from waterlogged shoes, heatstroke risks, thunderstorms, potential flooding... There's so many places you could go.

A `drag the hut to land' mini-game would solve that.

But damn your back would be sore at the end of it! 

It would depend on a lot of factors but should be doable if you're well motivated. A pulley and rope system would certainly make life easier though and you'd likely need an axe to break the hut out of the ice.

I can imagine that the spring version of Cabin Fever would be horseflies and mosquitoes. You would have to spend a good amount of time indoors lest you go insane haha.

Welcome to the forums @GreenBeing

Hopefully if mosquitoes are added smudge fires will be added too
