First Mod: Seafood
run37:
Hey all, I'm having a blast modding this game for myself. (Also I'm new to the forums in case I do something dumb.) I have a question and thought I'd share something I'm working on: adding seafood to the coasts. This was inspired by the bee hive mod that made me realize I could simulate a bunch of stuff as 'plants.' The thing I'm most proud of is realizing that the mussel symbiosis of rocky on sea terrain looks pretty cool: mussels litter the rocks along the coast.
Question: Does anyone know if there are different times of the year that ice freezes and unfreezes depending on whether you're in the northern, western, or southern/eastern part of the map? I don't want the seafood to pop up on ice, so I need to make sure most of them only 'sprout' once the ice melts. I tested it today in the north: month 5 was ice-free, month 4 was not. But is that how it works everywhere and each year?
Here's my mod so far:

Can't help with the question, but I'd just pop in to tell you that I think that was a really great idea for a mod, and well made :)
PALU:
Yes. The answer is no.
Ice thawing/freezing is temperature dependent and varies with the weather. It's not unusual for ice to form and then melt in the autumn, or disappear and then reappear in spring (and disappear again, of course). Apart from temperature, snow thickness also factors in. There should be a hysteresis based on water temperatures changing slower than air temperatures, but if there is one it seems to be weaker than it ought to be.

Thanks, this was my suspicion, and I won't complain since variable weather is overall a really nice touch. Ok so either I need to give stuff in the water a small window of being available, or I need to tolerate them being on ice for part of the year. It looks like the other plants found in water go from months 5-8 or 5-9.
Has anyone found an easy way to skip around to different parts of the year? Starting in "Spring" and "Summer" gets me to months 4 and 6, but is there an easy way to get to months 2-3 to test things out?
