Talk:Snow biome

I think the Snow Biome page turned out really nice. But why is the snow block bug listed as an anomaly? I'm not Blue or Redigit, but I don't see much sense for one snow block to cause snow fall...--Linkraft 03:41, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It amounts to one snowflake every minute or so. You really have to be looking for it.  I've only noticed it because I have exactly two Snow Blocks in my base.   It's really a side effect of the Snow Biome not being a true biome, exactly.  It's more that snow blocks just cause snowfall, and some maps have large bunches of them. --Theothersteve7 15:21, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * True, but listing it as an anomaly implies that it's intended to happen, whereas a bug is something that results from poor coding. I'll just changed it to "Bug" so my OCD streak can cool down...--Linkraft 15:25, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It's more of a sloppy design decision than poor coding, but hey, whatever the community decides is the more accurate answer. --Theothersteve7 15:26, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Anomaly is more used when there's no documentation about that happening and its not consistent with other similar things (e.g.: Meteor heads appear when there's more blocks, snow appears wit just one), and bug when documentation and devs said that something should happen, but it doesn't. In this case, update notes said it's a "snow biome", but there's no special background and no unique monsters and snow drops with just a single block, it's not consistent with other biomes, but no one said a biome must have all of that, the desert didn't get cacti and monsters until later.

Will they ever make it to where you don't have to make a new world every time they have a new patch? Or is it possible for the snow biome to spawn magically in an already create world? --98.88.212.187 23:34, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * On a pre-existing world, you can kill enemies to obtain presents and find a snow globe, use it to summon the Frost Legion, and then place the numerous Snow Blocks they drop to create your own snow biome. You can also create a new world and mine it for snow to bring back, of course.
 * I kind of wish there was an easier way to get snow in my pre-existing world, but I'm also kind of glad the game isn't going to automatically rip out (or bury) a giant chunk of my existing blocks to make room for it. --Manxome 23:47, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah alright then, thank you for the tip. --98.88.212.187 23:49, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
