Weather/Seasons Update

Welcome back, fellow vagrants!

It's been a while since you've heard from us, but we've been hard at work preparing the newest update for Urban Survival; the Weather and Seasons update. You'll notice some pretty significant changes the next time you log in after the update.

[h2]Calendar[/h2]
The game now hosts a calendar, visible on your map.
  • The game will advance through the days at midnight, obviously
  • Each day new trash containers will appear through out the city, making your trash supply endless
  • Each season has 7 days
  • Each season will contain a holiday in a future update

[h2]Seasons and Weather[/h2]
Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter all have their own unique weather and challenges.
  • In the Spring you will find more rain, and sometimes thunderstorms
  • In the Summer there will be less rain and wind, and more heat, possibly heatwaves
  • Autumn is getting colder, a warning for what's to come. As well as hailstorms
  • Winter is the coldest time of year, so bundle up. Possible blizzards

[h2]Heat, Insulation, and Wetness[/h2]
Along with Armor, which is now displayed in the equipment screen, you will also find an Insulation value
  • A higher insulation value will stop your heat from falling faster
  • A lower insulation value (down even into negatives) will stop your heat from rising faster, keeping you cool in those hotter days
  • Standing in the rain or snow will cause your equipment to get wet, reducing your effective insulation by up to 50%

[h2]Holidays[/h2]
Holidays are no longer real time events, but they will take place at a certain point in the calendar year.
  • Each season will have a unique holiday, some of them two
  • Spring will see Easter, Summer hosts a solstice festival, Autumn is home to Thanksgiving and Halloween, and of course Winter will contain the existing Christmas event
  • These holidays will not be in the update coming up, quite yet, but will follow shortly after with their own update, adding the missing events
