DF Suggestions / Dwarf Mode; Improved Embark Information
« on: October 15, 2010, 11:31:13 pm »
This comes from a couple of Dwarf Mode threads discussing Embarks melting/thawing unexpectedly.
What I propose is that on Embark you can bring up a more detailed Biome screen (current overview remains unchanged, additional screen available).
On this screen you get things such as average time a tree/shrub takes to grow.
Average rainfall by season
Max/Min/Average temperature by season.
Evaporation (if it happens) by season.
This will allow people who want to deal with things like rivers thawing & freezing to select their embarks a lot better, as well as give you a slightly better idea of how climate works in your embark zone. As well as if it is hot/cold enough to cause actual damage, & so forth. Rather than the current very vague & often misleading systems.
