Nach0z Posted January 6, 2025 Report Posted January 6, 2025 Is there a reason that summer temperatures up at 85 degree latitudes still get up to around 20C/68F? Looking at real-life data, the North Pole seems like it gets somewhat warm-ish because ocean currents keep a steady supply of water going to it all year long, but the south pole, which is land-locked, has a maximum record high of less than 10F, or -12.3C, which is still below freezing. Should arctic areas in Vintage Story not correlate more with our South Pole? It seems a bit odd that we'd get months of room-temperature weather in an area where there's forty feet of packed ice before you even reach soil.
LadyWYT Posted January 6, 2025 Report Posted January 6, 2025 Welcome to the forums! That does seem a bit odd, but I'm guessing it's set up that way to allow players a brief chance to grow a few crops(like flax) and progress, rather than needing to rely solely on cracked vessels or mob drops for certain things.
Nach0z Posted January 6, 2025 Author Report Posted January 6, 2025 I suppose that makes sense if you're trying to allow people to start their games at any latitude, but it still seems unreasonable to allow the temperatures to get quite that high. Anything above 0C should allow for crop growth for anything you'll find in that region. I guess I'm just salty that my plan to use the Arctic for long-term food storage isn't playing out how I wanted it to.

If you're looking for a way to preserve food you'd be better served using elevation instead of latitude. Build a cellar up high on a mountain peak where the ambient temperature is lower.
