SnowDay

Turn the Deep North into a real winter: snow that piles up 2 m deep, that you plow, dig into caves, build igloos from and cross on snowshoes.

At a glance

• Snow up to 2 m deep. It builds up while it snows, with soft, curved edges instead of the game's square steps.
• Trails that behave like snow. Every step pushes snow into banks beside you, and trails fill back in while it snows, even while you are away.
• A Snow Shovel that clears the way. Swing to scoop up Snow, crouch and swing to shove snow aside, hold block to plow a path.
• Snow you can sculpt. Pile up snow mountains, dig tunnels and caves, and flatten walls and floors with a brush.
• Six snow building pieces for igloos and forts. They hold weight like ice and melt near fires.
• Snowshoes (4 Wood, 4 Leather scraps) keep you on top of the deep snow at 90 % of your normal speed.
• Bases that fit the winter. Build straight into deep snow, fires clear their own spot, roofs turn white in a snowfall, and floors never make you wade.

Needs Jotunn. Everyone on the server needs SnowDay, the host included.

Features

Deep snow that builds up

• Builds up while it snows. Untouched Deep North snow starts at the game's own depth (1.1 to 1.4 m) and grows to 2 m over about 30 in-game days of snowfall, 1.7 to 2 m between drifts. Trails, shovelled spots and banks rise with it.
• Shaped by what is around it. Snow doesn't build up under roofs or floors on the ground. Round tree trunks it is lower, half the game's own at the trunk and full depth about 2 m out.
• Deeper snow is slower. On top of the game's own wading, deep snow slows players and creatures up to a quarter more at 2 m. A creature you ride wades like you do.
• Seasons. With RustyMods Seasonality, snow builds up twice as fast in winter, at the normal rate in spring and fall, and not at all in summer. An optional summer melt brings it back down (off by default).
• Smooth snow edges. Snow is drawn from a map four times finer, so trails and holes curve, the deep snow's 1 m steps round off into slopes, cracks between pieces of ground close, and no grass pokes out of deep snow. Only the look changes, and each player decides.
• A steady camera. The camera rides just above deep snow and stays out of solid snow, easing in and out instead of jumping.

Trails, banks and refill

• Snow pushed aside. Footsteps, landings, swings, creatures and falling trees push the snow they move into a low bank just outside the spot, so trails get snow walls. Never on paths, next to buildings, under roofs or near fires.
• Creature trails. Creatures leave trails sized to them, with banks of their own. Flying ones leave none.
• Snow fills back in. While it snows, trails and dug spots fill back to the depth of the snow around them: about one in-game day of snowfall from bare ground to full. A spot you just changed waits 10 minutes first, so the hole you are digging stays open.
• Catches up while you are away. Come back and your trails fill in by how much it snowed while nobody was there, worked out from the game's own weather schedule. Half an hour of snowfall fills a trail dug to bare ground.

Building in the snow

• Build anywhere in deep snow. Every piece can be placed without shovelling first.
• Fires keep clear. A fire, brazier, torch or anything else that burns clears the snow under it and a little around it. Burning fires go on melting the snow nearby, as in the game.
• No wading on floors. Standing on any building piece, solid snow or snow block never slows you and leaves no trail below.
• Snow on roofs. Pieces open to the sky turn white after a few minutes of snowfall, are full after about 15 and keep their snow in clear weather. Pieces near heat stay bare. Existing builds turn white as you come by. Snow never damages a piece unless you turn that on.

The Snow Shovel

• Plow. Hold block and walk forward: the shovel clears a path about 1 m wide down to the ground. Most of the snow builds up in front of the blade and is carried along as you walk, the rest goes into banks beside the path, and a mound stays where you stop (at most about 1 m over the snow around it; more spills to the sides). You still block hits, and everyone sees you leaning in with the blade on the snow.
• Collect Snow. A swing scoops up Snow from deep snow (1 a swing) and from snowy roofs (1 more). Snow stacks to 100, weighs 0.2 and never melts in your pack or in chests.
• Shove. A crouched swing pushes the snow in front of you (about 1 m wide and 1.5 m long) into a heap ahead and banks beside. Shovel swing swaps the two swings.
• Key hints. With the shovel in hand, a row over the game's key hints shows which keys collect, shove and plow.

Solid snow: mountains, tunnels and caves

• Shape it like terrain. With the Snow Shovel in hand, press H for snow shaping. Attack piles up solid snow where you aim, block digs it out, and the secondary attack flattens it (or smooths it) so floors, walls and ceilings come out straight.
• Three brushes. J switches between a ball, a square block that lines up on a grid for straight walls, and a round pile. Left Alt + mouse wheel sizes the brush, and a see-through preview shows where the snow lands.
• Real ground. You walk on solid snow, build on it and shelter under it. Piled-up snow falls onto what is below it: squares drop whole, balls and piles settle like sand. Hold Left Shift to place it exactly at the brush instead. Snow already there never falls, so overhangs and caves hold.
• Fair cost. Adding costs 1 Snow per cubic metre, and digging gives it back.
• It melts. A fire in a snow cave widens it by about 3 m an hour, and outside the Deep North and the Mountains solid snow slowly melts away.
• Safe to use. It never buries anyone, snow piled where you stand lifts you onto it, and items in its way are lifted on top.

Snow blocks

• Six pieces on the hammer's Deep North tab: Snow block (1 m), Half snow block, Snow wall (2 x 1 m), Snow floor (2 x 2 m), Snow slope (a 45 degree wedge) and Snow arch (2 m wide, for doorways).
• Built from Snow. They have 100 health and hold weight like the game's ice, for domes and overhangs. They go in deep snow and in any biome, and give all their Snow back when you take them down. They show in the hammer once you have had Snow in your inventory.
• They melt. Near a burning fire, hearth or torch a block melts in about 10 minutes (the warmth reaches about 8 m round a campfire). Outside the Deep North and the Mountains it melts in about 30. Repairing packs it full again.

Snowshoes

• Made at a workbench from 4 Wood and 4 Leather scraps and worn in the legs slot. With AzuExtendedPlayerInventory they get a Feet slot of their own, right under the Back slot, so you wear them with your trousers.
• Walk on top. In the Deep North you walk on the deep snow at 90 % of your normal speed, and running, sneaking and jumping work as usual. You stand on the snow as you see it, with the frames pressed a little into it. They leave only light 10 cm footprints. Out of a trail they carry you back up, never steeper than 45 degrees.
• Proper gear. They are leg armour (armour 2) with a bent-wood frame drawn under each foot. Walking on snow wears them out after about 5 km; repair them at a workbench.
• They don't hold you up while you ride, pull a cart, sit or swim.

For the curious

• snowday console command. Shows the snow where you stand, roof snow, build-up, refill, snow blocks and solid snow.
• Diagnostic logs. Short, rate-limited lines in BepInEx/LogOutput.log say what each part did.

How to use

Just play. In the Deep North:

1. Build where you like: pieces go straight into the snow, and a fire clears its own spot.
2. Equip the Snow Shovel. Swing to collect Snow (it drops at your feet when your inventory is full), crouch and swing to shove, hold block and walk to plow.
3. Press H with the shovel for snow shaping. The key hints at the bottom right show the shaping keys. Press H again, or put the shovel away, to plow and swing again.
4. Make Snowshoes at a workbench and wear them in the legs slot (or the Feet slot, with AzuExtendedPlayerInventory) to walk on top of the snow.
5. Open the hammer's Deep North tab for the snow blocks.
6. Press F5 and type snowday info to see the snow where you stand, and whether your snowshoes are holding you up.

Multiplayer

• Everyone needs SnowDay, the host or dedicated server included. Jotunn refuses a player without it, and the first two parts of the version must match (any 1.4.x with any 1.4.x). Keep everyone on the same version for the same snow.
• The host sets the rules. Every Server setting comes from the host, so everyone sees and wades through the same snow, and a change made in game reaches every player within a few seconds. Keys, brush, hints, camera, the shovel's swing, looks and logs are each player's own.
• One shared winter. The host counts the snowfall and shares the build-up. Fires' clearing, banks, refill and catch-up are done by the game that runs each piece of terrain and saved with the world. Solid snow and snow blocks are saved and melted by one game and seen by everyone.
• Snowshoes. Each wearer's own game holds them on top of the snow, everyone sees them there, and each game draws everyone's frames.

Compatibility

• AzuExtendedPlayerInventory. Snowshoes get a Feet slot of their own. If "Feet" is in its Removed Equipment Slots, they stay in the legs slot and the log says why. A snowshoe look picked in its vanity panel only changes how your legs look; it doesn't hold you up.
• AzuWearNTearPatches. Roof snow works with its No Weather Damage on, since SnowDay checks for open sky itself. Snow blocks keep the game's own ice support (Snow blocks keep ice support), so igloos stand even where it gives ice none.
• RustyMods Seasonality. Its weather decides when it snows, and its seasons set how fast the snow builds up and, with Summer melt time set, when it melts back.
• PackBeasts. Its riding speed and SnowDay's slowdown work together.
• Hearth Below. Works alongside it. Snow caves don't need it.
• Camera mods. CameraTweaks, Better Archery's bow zoom and PackBeasts' riding camera keep working. Build Camera's free camera, the game's free camera and devcommands' no-clip camera are left alone.
• Building mods (Infinity Hammer, Gizmo, PlantEasily, ZenRedecorate and others) keep working. Pieces placed by mods that bypass the game's own placing don't clear snow under fires.
• Keys. H, J and U act only while you hold the Snow Shovel (J and U only while shaping), so other mods' uses of them keep working. None of them is one of the game's own keys.
• The snowshoes' floor. Snowshoes hold you up with a small invisible floor on the game's "blocker" layer: building, hits, arrows and the crosshair go through it, and creatures never path over it. Creatures wading in deep snow are below you; a bow reaches them best. With PotionsPlus installed your shots stop at that floor within a few metres of you: shoot from further off, or take the snowshoes off.

Uninstalling

• Snow returns to the game's own. Untouched snow is the game's own again at once. The build-up is kept in one SnowDay object at the world's centre, which the host's game deletes when that spot loads without the mod; reinstalling then starts the build-up again from the game's own snow.
• Changed ground stays. Trails, shovelled spots, banks and refilled spots keep the snow they have, and Deep North roofs stay white until their snow is shovelled or walked off.
• Lost for good: Snow and snowshoes in inventories and chests (a worn pair too), solid snow, snow blocks, Snow lying on the ground, and any snowman faces and arms (without giving back their items). Putting SnowDay back doesn't bring them back.
• Check your builds. Building pieces standing on solid snow or resting on snow blocks lose their support and may fall.
