Climate

A pastoral rural scene.

Temperature on New Eden fluctuates due to a number of factors, including season, biome, night/day cycle, day-to-day weather patterns, and altitude. The weather affects you, Survivor.

Temperature

General Effects

• Rain will reduce the ambient temperature by 4°. A storm will reduce the ambient temperature by 5°.
• Altitude affects the temperature. In spring, summer, and fall, the temperature decreases at y>64 by (y-64)*.03°. During winter, an extra (y/64)/5) meters of altitude is added to the calculation.
• Artificial light will warm air by 0° - 15° depending on distance to the light-source, until 25°.
• At noon, the air is warmer by about 3°. At midnight, the air is about 5° cooler.

Seasonal Effects

• Spring: Average 5°C - 23°C depending on biome. Being in water will chill the Survivor by 4°.
• Summer: Average 25°C - 40°C depending on biome. Being in water will chill the Survivor by 4°.
• Fall: Average 5°C - 25°C depending on biome. Being in water will chill the Survivor by 10°.
• Winter: Average -10°C - 5°C depending on biome. Being in water will chill the Survivor by 10°.

• Warm biomes (savannah) are about 15° hotter.
• Normal biomes run about the average temperature.
• Cold biomes (mountains, taiga) are about 4° cooler.
• Snowy biomes are about 12° cooler.

Physiological Effects

• Drinking water reduces the felt temperature by 10°, until 25°, for 5 minutes.
• Full hunger bar increases the felt temperature by 5°, if lower than 25°.
• At or below -20°, freezing effects with damage will occur.
• At or below -15°, the Survivor will feel slower.
• At or below -10°, the Survivor will feel increased hunger.
• Between 15° and 30° the Survivor is comfortable and will receive 2 hearts bonus.*
• At or over 50°, the Survivor will stop healing.

Fall

• Biomes change to give an autumnal experience.
• Crop growth rate cut about in half. Crops have a small chance to fail.
• Farm animal breeding is reduced.
• Winter is coming [tm].

Winter

• ... is here.
• Snowmen everywhere.
• Biomes change to give a winter experience.
• Near-constant snow, which accumulates on the ground.
