<p>Syff: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Weather''' changes with [[season]]s, and brings [[wet]], [[cold]], [[hot]], and [[dry]] conditions. It can be turned off by editing init.txt. This takes some load off of the CPU and can result in noticeably faster game play.<br /> <br /> ==Rain==<br /> Rain is an event occurring at random intervals. The message &quot;It has started raining&quot; appears when it begins to rain. Rain has multiple effects: It cleans [[blood]] off of surfaces, fills murky pools, removes uncollected [[silk]] webs, and can give a [[dwarf]] an unhappy thought.<br /> <br /> As stated above, when a rain hits a tile labled as a [[murky pool]], it'll fill it up with 1/7 water. While not much, it can really help maps without 'unlimited' [[water]] supplies, such as [[river]]s and [[brook]]s. <br /> <br /> Rainfall occurs in [[temperate]] to scorching maps.<br /> <br /> ==Snow==<br /> In [[winter]], instead of raining it will snow. Snowing has very similar effects to rain, but instead of leaving &quot;wet&quot; squares, it<br /> will cover outdoor tiles with snow, including frozen pond tiles. &quot;A snowstorm has arrived&quot;, is the message you receive when getting a snowstorm. In the event of a snowstorm, snow will slowly cover the surface the map with snow, and any [[dwarf]] caught in one may get an unhappy thought from it. <br /> <br /> Snowstorms will occur in winter on temperate to freezing maps. <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Climate]]<br /> *[[Biome]]<br /> [[Category:World]]</div>

<p>Syff: </p> <hr /> <div>I'm not going to change anything back, but I've not had a single problem with being poisoned, or attacked in general by them. The only times I've seen them have been in colder climates, although I guess I could have been lucky. They also seem to occur with great frequency with werewolves, I've been able to pick the last 3 maps with both of them consistently. --[[User:Gotthard|Gotthard]] 19:19, 26 November 2007 <br /> <br /> :Well, they have similiar tags to cave spiders, and people do have trouble with those, so it seems you did get lucky. They occur in both temperate and tropical forests. They probably occur with werewolves because werewolves have the EVIL and ANY_TEMPERATE_FOREST tags, too. I don't mean to shoot you down or anything, I'm just stating what the game definition says about them. If one of your dwarves does get bitten, let us know how long the effect lasts...purely in the interest of science, of course. ;-) [[User:Turgid Bolk|Turgid Bolk]] 14:39, 26 November 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> Yeah, I'm not familiar with the raws, but given the case of bauxite (I think) which seems to show up intermittently even with raw editing, I'm wondering if Phantom spiders/werewolves have this same problem. Perhaps I am lucky, or terrifying cold has less creatures than terrifying temperate, making it more likely werewolves and phantom spiders show up, I'm not sure. Just thought it was a wierd coincidence. Has anyone actually been bitten by one of them? I seem to be able to wander the map with hapless abandon; not a single casualty or warning message.<br /> <br /> Is it possible to embark on a site with both phantom and cave spiders? It seems to me like phantom spiders only generate in evil forest ''regions,'' not biomes, which don't contain underground pools/rivers. --[[User:Syff|Syff]] 03:53, 14 December 2008 (EST)</div>
