would it be feasible to have seasonal event specific biome changes like actual snow drifts once a year the Sprite Coast goes volcanic Etc, we had a little Tinker with just testing snow out this fixas right I mean yeah like fix fixas essentially you can like use fake real snow because it's it's fake snow but it's what actual snow is so it's fake real snow whatever anyway, but like actually changing the map like that dynamically that is can of worms work because essentially that would mean we would have to we would have to touch every single part of the map in a certain way like let's say the volcanic eruption in sparos right like we would have to add add lava we would have to add sources of lava we would have to make the terrain work with that we would have to make the foliage work with that we would have to change everything about the place that is essentially the equivalent of making or just completely redoing the area, and doing that for a seasonal thing it's it's just a lot of cost or not a lot of gain relatively right so that is one of those things where I'm like oh I'm not Soo sure but things like we do we do for fixas where you have like snow cannons and stuff like that and we give those tools player and like they can play with it and they can put it in a factory I think is a better solution or at least a solution that both gives the players something fun to work with and then also doesn't cost us much of work, that can go on things that are more interesting according to us, and also maybe have more longevity so I mean yeah lava cannon let's go this is this is me just saying I want I want to love again we know what to expect now Jesus
