Title: [A17] Coffee and Fire, a wildfire rebalance
Post by: CoffeeAndBrrt on August 11, 2017, 05:44:26 PM
Description:
A rebalance of wildfires so that the game no longer feels pressured to put them out.

Features:

With no FireWatcher in effect, colonists should prioritize fighting or containing local wildfires rather than waiting for the rain, but not all lightning strikes (or boomalope) will start wildfires of doom. Trees, bushes, and crops are now the main progenitors of wildfire, rather than any nonempty square.

Requirements:

Compatibility:
Vanilla:
Mods:

Future directions:

Can modpack makers include your mod in their modpack? YES
Can other modders make derivative mods based on yours? YES, with credit

Just what I needed yesterday after starting with the crashlanding hard scenario.

the whole 275x275 map was one big ashpile, except the few rock tiles my handfull of survivors huddled together.
Long story short .. they starved or died of infection because all food, healroot and wildlife was gone.
Except that asshole of an antilope that died burning while setting my only stockpile of items I managed to rescue on fire ..


And first question : Does Aridness include temperature ? ( spontanoues wildfire during heatwave ? )

Highly arid zones (low rainfall in the worldmap) would mean giving a boost to fire to spread (but not start), whereas less arid zones (high rainfall) would penalize fire spreading. The idea is that more rainfall means more ambient moisture (on the ground, air, etc) and small fires are less likely to grow large. I don't like the way tropical rainforests play ATM because the high tree density tends to burn everything with little to no chance of stopping it without forcing the rain.

Looking forward to giving it a try.

One thing though, can you rename about.xml to About.xml? Not sure about other platforms, but my game (on Linux) couldn't find the file until I capitalized the name (like all the other mods I use do). Thanks. :)

I'm looking forward to trying this one. Thank you for your works.

Is it me or there's nothing coffee related in the mod beside your name?  ;D

Will do, is there any other casing problems I should be aware of?
