Also in the mean time here is an alternative mod

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2889455050

Please update for 1.5

Hello, I have one significant issue with the mod. It is also changing the temperature in caves. They stay at safe temperatures during cold or hot days. But with this mod not anymore.

Can I add this to an existing game?

fair, and i will keep that in mind for future runs

Neither got the mood or the time to work on it but if you know how to edit XML files search the save game for climatecycle.

the option to make the start point partway through the cycle would be great. nice mod though

Yes, I wouldn't get the tooltip otherwise

Did you add the condition in the secenario editor?

Doesn't seem to work for me. Temperature never changes, tooltip says zero. I've made it so that I hit peak cold in 15 days and inverted with 250 offset. Nothing happens. What could be the issue?

thank you !

Thank you!

Update is done :)

Please update to 1.4

Leto,

Thank you for the prompt reply it was helpful in finding the setting!

Greetings. From the main menu go to options > mod settings > climate cycle extended.

Leto,

How do I actually access the mod setting? It is not letting me change it from the scenario editor. Do I need to go somewhere else to change these setting?

ah yes, I thought this could be adjusted at anytime.

No promises on this but i will probably make it editable in non iron man saves
or at least add more information to the mod menu about the settings used in the current save.

@Geronimo yes it is only for a new game start since 0.5.
If you played more then one colony/save before 0.5 it was just annoying to adjust the settings every time.

Thank you!

Hot fix is pushed and should be deployed on steam soon.

Yes you are right update is on it's way!

Slight update, you inverted the inverted, had to turn cycleInverted to false to get it to be cold first again

By reset, I mean the offset is now 0 degrees, not the original -30 or so degrees

Just letting you know, for some reason the update reset the temperature offset? Nothing in the save file itself has appeared to change

<daysTillCurrentPauseEnds>0</daysTillCurrentPauseEnds>
<timesShift>0</timesShift>
<temperatureOffsetColdCurrentSave>250</temperatureOffsetColdCurrentSave>
<temperatureOffsetWarmCurrentSave>0</temperatureOffsetWarmCurrentSave><cycleLength>400</cycleLength>
<currentPeriod>0</currentPeriod>
<currentDay>619</currentDay>
<cycleInverted>True</cycleInverted>

I did indeed try to change them in a running game. Is this for a new game start only?

In case you where trying to adjust the settings during a running game and it had no effect its not a bug its a feature.

No the settings are stored inside your save file so once you start a game you cant adjust them from the options menu.

the path is Users\ your user name \AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios\Saves\ then open the save file with a text editor like notepad++ and search for

<def>ClimateCycle_Extended</def>

there are the settings for your game.

<daysTillCurrentPauseEnds>0</daysTillCurrentPauseEnds>
<timesShift>-3</timesShift>
<temperatureOffsetColdCurrentSave>25</temperatureOffsetColdCurrentSave> <temperatureOffsetWarmCurrentSave>30</temperatureOffsetWarmCurrentSave> <cycleLength>5</cycleLength> <currentPeriod>2</currentPeriod>
<currentDay>518</currentDay>
<cycleInverted>False</cycleInverted>

Im not sure where to find that. Shouldnt the values from the mod options suffice?

If you got time could you post the values from your save stored inside game condition then I can directly reproduce it later

Also I think peak duration should be relativ to the cycle duration 1 year 3 - 7 days. Cycle duration >= 100 years 30 - 60 days.

So with 1 year after 15 days you reach hot peak staying at limit for 6 to 12 days 1/2 - 1 month.

With 100 years it would be peak after 15 years staying for 30 to 60 days 1/2 - 1 year at peak...

Hoping the solution works! Because yeah Im not seeing any variation at all for the entire year.

Gona check it later but with a duration of 1 year and - 200 cold offset you will hit ice age after 45 days if you invert it after 15.

Also note that with a cycle duration of 1 year temperature will go from 0 to -200 in 15 days each day about 13° the catch is I didn't use 2*pi but rounded it to 6.28 for the curve.
this leads to a small inaccuracy on short cycles below 2-3 years Wich could result in temperature going 180 -> 190 -> 180 -> 170 instead of 180 -> 190 -> 200 -> 190.

Well while writing this I got a solution I will force it to 100% during the 3-7 day peak duration.

@Jdalt40 your are welcome and thx for the feedback.

So when I set the hot cycle to 0, cold to 200, and cycle duration to 1 weather seems to never meet the extremes without a cold snap. Im testing this in the arctic biome.

Yup, completely fine with that, thanks! I was sorta confused since I was expecting something along the lines of a 5 degree drop in a year (setting the temp drop to the max) and ended up getting nothing, had to open up DnSpy to check why lmao.

Thank you for the update!

I added a option to invert the cycle so that the cold period will be the first to come.

Just make sure to turn it to true before loading your save game default is set to false...
Also with 60 years duration it will take you 15 till you hit the first peak.

Hey Leto, would it be possible on your end to make it possible for us to invert the climate cycle? Currently it starts with global heating, and I've currently set it up so it only cools over a period of 60 years, but in reality it is doing nothing to the temperature for 30 years (due to the temperature offset hot period being 0) and then finally cooling over 30 years.

Thanks for letting me know. For americans like me who default to F, it might be good to add a note in the description that its in C

Yes calculation is done in celsius.
You can still edit the values inside your save file by adjusting temperatureOffsetColdCurrentSave and temperatureOffsetWarmCurrentSave.

Is it safe to assume that it's always in celsius? I didn't even consider that, but it would make sense why the numbers don't seem to line up in game for me

Ahh it is working now. I tried unsubbing and resubbing. After a game restart it finally appeared.

Just started the game and gut the update.

Yeah restarted the game. 4-32 for cycle and 0-100 for offsets still.

Got to go now gonna check back in some hours if it does not push the update till then i will see if some thing went wrong on my end.

Also reading the update notes above. Could you increase the max temps to 450 or 500? Then it would be more in line with other extreme mods like yayo.

Hmm well I did download a workshop update. Maybe its just being odd.

I dont know how long Steam takes to update it but change notes say.
