曆法和氣候

在群巒傳說中，氣候和時間都是影響生存的非常重要的要素。首先，我們先來談談日曆。

在任何時候，只要開啟物品欄並點選日曆選項卡就能檢視日曆。這裡會顯示當前的季節、日曆日和日期.

群巒傳說的世界是有四季的，氣象和氣候也會隨之變化。每個季節根據月份分為初期、仲期和暮期。以下是四季所對應的月份：

• 春季：三月 - 五月
• 夏季：六月 - 八月
• 秋季：九月 - 十一月
• 冬季：十二月 - 次年二月

當前季節會影響地區的溫度和降水（如果可以下雨或下雪）等。所以一定要經常檢視日曆，它對你的生存會有很大的幫助！

接下來，我們來談談氣候。

氣候

Another tab on the main inventory screen is the Climate screen. This one shows information about the current location

From top to bottom, the screen displays the Local Climate, the Average Annual Temperature, the current temperature, the Average Annual Rainfall, the current rainfall, the peak rainfall, and the season when the peak occurs.

Temperature

一個地區的溫度是由幾個因素共同決定的。

• 首先，地質結構和緯度（Z 座標）的影響是最大的。
• 其次是當前的季節——夏天最熱，冬天最冷。
• 最後，每天的不同時間溫度也會有所不同，且天和天之間也會有小幅變動。

最後一行顯示的是當前由上述因素共同決定後的溫度。

溫度會影響很多事情：作物和植物是否會生長，冰雪是否會形成或融化等等。

降雨量

Rainfall is influenced by a number of factors:

The region, especially the longitude (X coordinate) will play the largest role, with wetter climates generally to the east of spawn. Distance from the coast also plays a role, with drier climates farther inland.

The current season and local climate will also influence rainfall levels. These effects are also determined by the region: west coasts generally have dry summers, whereas the east sides of large continents have dramatic summer monsoons. The centers of continents and oceanic islands tend to have less seasonal variance.

The annual rainfall is measured in millimeters (mm) and can be between 0mm - 500mm, though the instantaneous rainfall can reach 1000mm in highly seasonal climates. Rainfall affects the types of flora and fauna that are found in an area, as well as how often rain and snow occur.

一個區域的降雨量還決定了何種農作物能被種植在這兒。降雨量的多少是影響土地溼潤度的一個重要因素，而溼潤度則決定了農作物、果樹、和灌木叢是否可以生長。
