ajb1978 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) Posting here because my observations are going to be extremely prone to confirmation bias, so I want to see if others have had a similar experience. Now that the DIY mod is back, I have a need for an obscene amount of cedar, so I've been chopping up limbs left and right. And the frequency of Blizzards has shot through the roof. Now I'm aware correlation != causation, and yet I can't help but think my over-harvesting is causing Blizzards to become a lot more frequent. Anyone else have a similar experience? Where you can "summon" a Blizzard by harvesting the crap out of a bunch of limbs in a single day? Edit: And of course, the moment I post this, the blizzards stop...

Smellyfries Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I've played the game long enough that I've questioned if the game recognizes the fact that I'm chopping wood, or starting a fire that's exposed to the wind from one side, and decides to chuck a blizzard my way. Or start a fire to harvest an animal on Interloper, and there's suddenly a gust of heavy wind, that last long enough to put my fire out, before clearing up to a beautiful day again. Probably the most recent case was chopping firewood for harvesting a Moose, only for a blizzard to roll in after what was almost half a day of sunny weather. I think performing any action that passes time, like chopping wood, can cause the game to increase the frequency of when weather changes, perhaps to help simulate time passing.

Leeanda Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 It's a 80+% chance I'll get a blizzard if the moose /bear I want to harvest has died in a very exposed place. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
