No permanent cold snap / heat wave in scenario editor?

In the announcements of Tynan, there was mentioned that the new scenario editor should enable us to make scenarios with extreme heat / cold regions,
where heat waves or cold snaps are a permanent thing.
But I don't see any of this in the scenario editor in A14.
I can set something like "Volcaninc winter", but not cold snap / heat wave.
Did this not make it into the patch? Or am I looking at the wrong place?
I was really excited for that feature.

I hope they're implemented. I really want a map that starts normally and slowly gets unbearably hotter or colder.

If you feel brave, and know a bit how to edit files.  make your scenario, on the very last line in the scenario editor, add a permanent map condition (something you DON'T want)

Then go to your rimworld save folder: Visit the link below to find where that is.

MAKE A COPY OF THE SCENARIO FILE FIRST and open the scenario file with notepad.  Change the line that says <mapCondition>Whatever you don't want</mapCondition> to either case sensitive.

ColdSnap
HeatWave

This line should be near the very end of the text document.

In the end it should look like this.



         <li Class="ScenPart_PermaMapCondition">
            <def>PermanentMapCondition</def>
            <mapCondition>ColdSnap</mapCondition>
         </li>
       OR
         <li Class="ScenPart_PermaMapCondition">
            <def>PermanentMapCondition</def>
            <mapCondition>HeatWave</mapCondition>
         </li>

I added both weather effects to some starting scenarios for anyone who wants them.  You can find them here.

There's a Climate Cycle permanent map condition which has a multi-year cycle of hot and cold seasons.

I also made a mod called Solar Apocalypse which just has things got hotter over a fairly long period of time.

This broke the scenario. It's a good thing I saved it. But I tried to change it to Rain because I want perma-Rain on my maps. When I click on it the Scenario Editor and Next buttons disappear but then if I click on another scenario it reappears.
