General seasonal changes

• Herbs have seasonality.
• Most small animals have seasonality. (See Creature Seasonality Table)
• Some large animals have seasonality.
• Crops fall fallow in winter. Fallow crops can be harvested for a reduced amount of seeds. Trellis crops stop growing in winter. Cycling trellis crops recede to their first cycle stage.
• Trees lose their fruits, seeds, and leaves in winter, and regain them again during the summer. During summer and fall trees respawn fruits with the traditional decay mechanic. That means no fruits or seeds on trees for ~20 realtime days.
• Rivers, lakes, and some ocean tiles gradually freeze over during winter.
• You cannot plant seeds in winter

  ( Template:Patch: Patch-title "title" Not Found! ) (related: Perfect Autumn Leaf)
• Some trees and bushes will change coloration.

Winter

• Snow will gradually cover the ground. Snow can be gathered off the ground (Adventure -> Dig) which also reveals the true ground-tile underneath it. Kicksled, a vehicle fast on snow and ice is more useful during winter.
• Ice Blocks can be acquired using a pick-axe by chopping ice away on water (Adventure -> Dig).
• Only some of herbs spawn on snow covered ground/terrain, but more forage spawn in winter on terrain cleared of snow.
• Animals eat only about 50% during winter
  ( Template:Patch: Patch-title "title" Not Found! ).
• Swamps are emptied and eventually freeze over. Animals and plants don't spawn in it during winter.
• Both shallow and deep water freeze over, over the course of a few days.
• Planted trees seem to keep growing in a slower manner, but won't yield any fruit, seed, or leaf.
• Trees and bushes found in cave, like Towercap and Withercorn, lose their seeds too.
• Snow affects terraforming (Adventure -> Landscaping -> Survey Land), preventing you from digging or placing soil on terrain covered by snow.
• Precious Snowflake can be found on snowy ground during winter.
• Snowtop is a winter-only forgeable mushroom.
