Herbivores and snow

[b0rsuk]

If you remove snow manually, grazing animals will happily eat grass. But even mufallos, which seem adapted for cold climate, can't do that.

Animals should have some kind of capability to take grass from under snow. Currently herbivores give up too easily, and leave. Then some more animals spawn with filled nutrition bar, eventually get hungry and leave. Carnivores stay a bit longer (bigger carnivores can hunt smaller carnivores).

It's not going to help an ice sheet map, where there are NO plants, and where polar bears are scarier than manhunters. That would need seals, pinguins, and fishes.

Well, not all plants and grass survive the winter but I agree completely with the logic.

Aside for meat-eater : we may not have fishing in the game, but a penguins/seals would nest on the shore... but go fish in the water nearby.
A suggestion thread about "Arctic survival" is a little too specific but I'm sure we can come up with mechanic for all climate.

I was going to post about that in the other animal thread. Yes, polar bears need seals and fish to prey on, as well as penguins. But there are no fishes yet.
