Even so, if the original author requests it, I will remove this update.

Original mod notes (1.2):

Adds a new climate cycle setting allowing customization of every aspect, from period to temperature offsets, plus the ability to set up a runaway scenario. Access it through the new "Custom Climate Cycle" scenario part.


Variables

Formula:

(Mathf.Sin((GenDate.YearsPassedFloat + (float)ticksOffset / (float)GenDate.TicksPerYear) / PeriodYears * tau) * tempOffsetFactor) + tempOffsetOffset + (xCoeff * GenDate.YearsPassedFloat)

- Period offset: how many years into the cycle the game will be when it starts. Default 0, and can be randomized.
- Period: how many years the cycle takes to go through. Default 4.
- Temperature offset factor: The magnitude of the sine wave. If the temperature offset is 0, this is the maximum variation from normal temperatures. Default 20.
- Temperature offset: Lets you modify the default yearly temperature. Negative values make the whole cycle colder, positive ones make it warmer. Default 0.
- X-coefficient: a modifier which lets you set runaway warming or cooling. Negative values make temperature trend colder over time, positive ones make it trend hotter. Default 0.

Notes

- You need to use the new "Custom climate cycle" scenario part; simply adding a custom climate cycle as a standard game condition will work, but it'll be the same as a normal climate cycle.
- You should be able to layer multiple Custom Climate Cycles to get non-sine behavior if you want to go through the effort, and by zeroing out the temperature offset factor, temperature offset, and x-coefficient you can do things like balance the game's overall temperature (making a warmer or cooler planet) or simply make temperature increase/decrease over time without a cycle.
- No mod compatibility issues are expected; this doesn't modify any base game code.

Thank you! No rush. I noticed there's two different climate cycle conditions I can apply in devmode - I can't tell a difference between them, it seems like both affect the temps by some identical default amount. I don't have much experience past basic XML editing but maybe that's something to investigate. Thanks again for looking into it.

It's not just you, I am also seeing similar issues, and I'm not sure what's going on. I'll try to work back on it soon.

Hey, I love this mod! I'm struggling to get this working for 1.6 though. It's not throwing any errors and I both reinstalled and tried disabling everything back to straight vanilla. It lets me put in values and the 'climate cycle' condition is applied, but it doesn't seem like it actually alters any temperatures. Not sure if it's just me.

Ah. okay. :o)

@Yrol Akiyama the DLC don't work with old versions, because the new versions are made with updates and features that support the DLC which older versions didn't have. It's especially true with Anomaly and Odyssey AFAIK. So it will surely break without those updates and potentially not even boot.

°grins° Zaljerem, bad idea... NOW they all EXPECT such fast updates ;o)

Slightly more serious Sidenote: if the devs roll back the update due to an issue, so must you...

Updated to 1.6.

Will this be updated to 1.6?

Support older versions... to what end? There's a new DLC now every 1, 2 years?
I cannot imagine the horror of going through all those changes for a mod to make it
work with the newest DLC and THOSE are usually done well and are kept updated
whereas usermods might be abandoned after 1, 2 versions of the main game.

And i agree, Rimworld is not a game where you can go about without basic modding skills
IF you are going to use big or many mods.

Moreso as it is a game that uses "clear text"-mods, which can be easily edited,
compared to games that purely use encoded mods like Unreal Engine or Unity.

Sidequestion: Do the official DLCs even work with 1.3?
Zaljerem  [author] 13 May, 2024 @ 6:57am 
Updated: Added 1.3 support via original mod assembly (as it was reported working through 1.4). Please note I will give this no support and it is subject to removal at any time.
