Yearly Seasonal Events

also theres year of carrot year of pig and year of beefalo

what about year of gobbler and year of varg

This is exactly what I was looking for! It sounds like it's quite a difficult idea to implement, so thank you for your hard work.

I wonder if the tech level problem could be solved by having a special crafting station (like an event board), that enables the correct stuff when you check it, so that if you were off-world when the event started, you could update manually? (Or maybe giving that function to an existing object would work? I don't know what, though. The Moondial seems thematically appropriate, perhaps?) Or maybe you could just enable the tech levels all the time -- having too much craftables isn't as big a problem anymore with the crafting menu rework.

Best of luck working on this mod!

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for your work! Really appreciate this.

Hi, y'all! So, this is a little harder than I expected, caves still aren't working properly. But, at least, they won't crash the game anymore

What will happen now is, events will trigger properly, but I haven't figured yet how to change tech levels on remote players (and, on a game with caves enabled, even with a single player you're still "remote"), so you won't be able to build special structures.

@Muffintiem: No, I haven't set up one. This is my first mod and I didn't even consider that; you think there's demand for one? I could set one, I'm just really relapse and wouldn't be online much anyway

is there a discord for this mod?

Thanks for the extra info! Yeah, if it doesn't interfere / force us to do anything, that's cool then. As I said, being new,we've got more important things to dedicate resources to so if we've not forced and can just enjoy small aspects of it, that's cool - like I remember this winter event, something was dropping cookies on the ground. We were too busy to try playing the event but seeing it and getting the random +1 heal or hunger was nice, haha.

As for my idea, that's really all I meant lol. Playing with friends or like me, with my gf, we could mark our first won boss fight, day some funny thing happened, etc. Just really personal things lol. Thanks for entertaining the idea and good luck with the bug!

Oh, and also planned are settings to change how long events last (they are currently 25% of a season for Feast and nights, and 50% for Carnival - because I am Brazilian and Carnaval here is a big deal, tho it is not *quite* the same holiday as here)

Oh, they're not disruptive at all :) They just introduce new temporary mechanics, so, for example, on Hallowed Nights you can go hunting for candy and build a mad scientist lab with some spooky-themed experiments, and on Winter's Feast you can make a gift wrap to bundle items for other players, or set-up a feast table which gives a little in-game boost after you feast (together).

A custom holiday could definitely be done, but apart from a message to all I don't know what I'd do with it :) (I didn't program any new mechanics, I just made it so the game enables pre-existing ones based on in-game calendar, rather than enabling, say, Winter's Feast when it's Christmas season in real life)

Considering how still fairly new my gf and I are to this game, how to trigger those events is beyond us and not really a concern while we're trying to, you know, not starve. :P So if this somehow activates them for us to engage with them if we choose to, that sounds pretty cool!

If they're potentially disruptive (positively or negatively!) in any way, maybe it could be good to have the option to pick every year, every other year, etc.

Also, just to throw out a random idea (because this is actually what I thought when I read the name), what about a mod to mark a day of the year as some special event? Imagine if we could set up custom anniversaries the server could put out an AllChat message for! I know, pretty random, no idea how many people would care, but since it's what I thought, I figured I'd share, haha.
