Weather: Difference between revisions

'''Weather''' is an [[environment]] element in the game. Currently there are four type of weather - Clear, Overcast, Rain, and Snow.

Clear skies are the most common state of weather in ''The Blockheads''. In the daytime, the sky will be a pale blue and shows no clouds. At night, the [[Astronomy|stars]] are visible.

Cloudy weather is characterized by reduced ambient [[light]]ing (to near black at night) and gray skies.

Drops of water are falling down from the skies, making a splash effect when hitting the ground. A [[Blockhead]] doesn't like to be out from [[shelter]] when it is raining and if he/she does, his/her [[Environment Bar|environment bar]] will be decreased. It may snow above locations where it is raining.

The least common weather, mostly appearing near the [[:Category:Location|poles]]. Increasingly likely at higher altitudes. Snowflakes are falling from the sky and cover the surface with snow, deepening as more falls without any "melting" due to warmer air. [[Water]] blocks exposed to the cold air associated with snow may turn into [[ice]], sometimes to a considerable depth. A Blockhead should wear warm articles of [[Clothes|clothing]] in order to prevent freezing (and a possible loss of [[Health Bar|health]]. The [[North Pole Hat of Warmth]] is even more effective.
