About

WARNING: Players who faint during a Blood Moon will PERMANENTLY DIE, so don't do ANYTHING that will cause you to faint during a Blood Moon.

While Salem is in a state of perpetual Autumn, this does not make it immune to shifts in the weather.

There are three different seasons in Salem. Every week or so Salem will enter a Cold Snap which will have several effects on the environment, followed by an Everbloom after about another week, with it's own effects on the world.

Everbloom:

• Butterflies only spawn during an Everbloom.
• Harvesting Crops during an Everbloom season yields more than harvesting during a Cold Snap.

Cold Snap:

• Bears will will not spawn.
• Blistersteel Bars cool much more quickly.
• Beavers now fatten up with lard during a Cold Snap.
• Sleds pull faster.

The third season is the Blood Moon. Witches may cast their spells to plunge Salem into the horrors of the Blood Moon season. The Blood Moon will fade after a time, and can be followed by either a Cold Snap or an Everbloom.

Blood Moon:

• Fainting outdoors during a Blood Moon will cause your character to PERMANENTLY DIE.
• Bleed effects are now magnified.

Players are encouraged to do passive tasks or simply not play during a Blood Moon if they are not prepared to lose their character.
