This time we've added a seasonal cycle and temperature simulation, snow, two more biomes (boreal forest and tundra) with all the attached animals, art sculpting, crafted item quality, weapon and apparel crafting, homegrown medicine, wind turbines, and more. Here are the rest of the Alpha 8 features: ►Temperature and Seasons •A new temperature system tracks temperatures indoors and outdoors. •Characters can get hypothermia, frostbite, heatstroke, or burns from being in extreme-temperature areas. •Certain clothing can protect against temperature discomfort/harm. •Temperature changes daily and on a yearly cycle according to where you are on the planet. There are distinct seasons. •There are special heat wave/cold snap events. •Added heater and cooler buildings. •Food spoils. This can be slowed or prevented with refrigeration. •Snow falls and accumulates over winter. It slows down movement. •Snow can be cleared manually, and will melt if heated. •New apparel: Parka and tuque. •Added new biomes: boreal forest and tundra ►Art and Crafting •Sculptor’s table added.
