Custom Climate Cycle (Continued)

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?

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.

Your points are reasonable, you're not being an entitled jerk about it, so I will add the 1.3 tag. That's subject to removal at any time if I suddenly get support requests or even the slightest bit annoyed by it. :)

To your last point - many players would be well served by learning a little bit about modding if they intend to mod heavily. Then they wouldn't have to rely as much on old curmudgeons like myself. :)

Sure. Though, a local copy is not as flexible as a Workshop mod. For instance, you can't simply create a mod collection on Workshop and then recommend it or share that with friends:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/browse/?appid=294100&section=collections

Also, those who create Let's Play or Twitch videos often share their mod list. That's not exactly possible for local copies of mods.

Further, not every RimWorld player is confident or knowledgeable enough to try even basic mod editing. I'd even say that makes up the majority of mod users.
Zaljerem  [author] 11 May, 2024 @ 9:25am 
I could. Just like you could put that in your own local copy of the mod.
Thundercraft 11 May, 2024 @ 9:24am 
If that's the case, then couldn't you add <li>1.3</li> in between the <supportedVersions> tags in About.xml?
Zaljerem  [author] 11 May, 2024 @ 5:57am 
If it's any consolation, it appears the original mod was still working through 1.4, so it will probably work on 1.3. Good luck!
Zaljerem  [author] 11 May, 2024 @ 4:32am 
Normally I only mod for the latest version; this has 1.4 support only because I updated it for my own use before 1.5. I appreciate that people still play on older versions, but I have no interest in trying to support older versions, sorry.

I appreciate that you've updated this for RimWorld 1.4 and 1.5 - really, I do. However, it would've been nice if you also updated this for RimWorld 1.3 while you were at it. Some people still play the 1.3 version. Just saying...
