Full description! (I'm out of space here)[www.kamicomics.com]

Dec 1 - Bug fix update and a few new things, see git, notes on update, or full description for deets

TKKNTKKN's Nature's Pretty Sweet makes the environment in RimWorld a unique and dangerous force to be reckoned with. The mod adds additional terrain elements, weather and biomes. It also updates the map in response to weather, giving a more wild, untamed and alive feeling to the world. Finally, it adds a variety of plants, springs, and other things (like barnacles) to the world, working to make each biome look and feel completely unique.

Requires a new save.* Some of the weather effects might cause a little bit of lag (at high speeds or if you're really zoomed out) but you can turn them off in the options. Map generation, your first save, and loading saves should take slightly longer than usual.

Most new elements will generate in the standard biomes, but there are some biomes that guarantee new features, and a few elements are ONLY available in some biomes. Most of the elements were directly inspired by places I've camped in the US.

There are also new resources, items, dangers, natural protection from raids and other effects. Resources can be harvested to get items, which can be sold or consumed.

The amount of additions and compatiability is too long to list here, so here's the full list![www.kamicomics.com]

Compatability
Should be compatible with most other mods, unless they affect map/world generation.
I'm adding compatability patches as people request them. Currently have:
Vegetable garden
AnimalCollabProj
Rainbeau's bridges

Added:

Weather:

• Soil and sand will darken when wet. Wet sand and soil increase fertility. Deserts will see a lot of growth after it rains.
  
• Puddles form after rainfall and snow melt.
  
• Rivers flood from rain, and are higher in the spring and lower in the fall.
  
• Water freezes in the winter.

  • Snow appears on trees and bushes
    
  • You can see pawns' breath in the cold
    
  • Pawns wear a path through snow and frost
    
  • Pawns pack soil down into paths, and make stone smooth by walking on it.

  • Pawns can swim and will use water to cool off if overheated
    
  • Wild versions of a lot of crops that replace berries in certain biomes (for example, wild corn in the desert, wild rice in the marsh)

New Biomes: See full description for details![www.kamicomics.com]

And a ton of minor additions to make the world feel more alive! Read them here![www.kamicomics.com] Archived page[web.archive.org]

If you like this mod, consider visiting the actual National and State Parks. Visitor numbers are really important, and these features all look waaaay better in real life :)

*Currently requires a new game, because the biomes are generated when your world is generated. If you don't care about that, there's an option called "LEAVE ALONE: Regen cell lists". Click it, save and reload your file. Then uncheck it and save again. This will give you weather effects and tides. I use this option for debugging and resetting maps on my end. It's not tested or supported. Use at your own risk.

• See if the the error persists if you just have this mod and its requirements active.
  
• If not, try adding your other mods until it happens again.
  
• Post your error-log using HugsLib or the standalone Uploader and command Ctrl+F12
  
• For best support, please use the Discord-channel for error-reporting.
  
• Do not report errors by making a discussion-thread, I get no notification of that.
  
• If you have the solution for a problem, please post it to the GitHub repository.
