I am more interested to know this. Since creating my nation, I am still under winter weather advisories. I would like to construct and maintain farms so I can provide food to my people.

Every 2 hours IRL is an in-game day. In the Northern Hemisphere, Winter begins December 1, Spring begins March 1, Summer begins June 1, and Autumn begins October 1. Seasons are reversed in the Southern Hemisphere.

 

Summer gives 20% increased food production, winter gives 20% reduced food production. Spring and autumn have no effect on food production. No other resources are affected.

Sheepy should really change the date of season change to real world season change date but still leaves room for change in date of season change (e.g. nuclear winter should lengthens winter and shortens summer).

Hey, have anyone seen those fireworks? What do you mean, Jeb had them strapped to SRBs?

You mean, have an actual 3 months of -20%/+20%? I think that would be pretty ridiculous. Currently seasons last about a week, which I think is fine. A "nuclear winter" event would simply leave everyone with a -20% food change regarldess of season or time of year.

This is my game date: Game Date

Yes, because the hemispheres are defined slightly differently than they are in the real world, as are continents. Your nation is in Africa. Africa, South america, and Australia are the Southern Hemisphere. The winter will end, as I said, on October 1 game date. This will occur approximately 4 RL days from now.

arrr Sheepy, you are serious about the nuclear winter thing? I thought you are just toying with that idea. :P

 

wow if you really implement it, I am praying hard no one uses it on north America where I am at the moment... :P

 

It hasn't been implemented yet, but if I add it it will take a lot of nuclear weapons being launched for it to occur.
