Realism Overhaul (Calendars – Seasons – Lighting…)

Changelog: 1.0.1
- Added `Config/RealismConfigs.xml` for global mod settings.
- Seasonal sun intensity and intraday sun curve.
- Adaptive sun and moon shadow strength.
- Seasonal dawn/dusk hours fixed
- Moon lighting: astronomical phases, per phase caps in config, phase display lag, single pipeline for intensity/clouds/shadows.
- New moon: darker ambient and sky dome in all biomes, clouds follow moon intensity.
- Fixed `LunarFullMoonWindowDays` BM window behavior (tune in RealismConfigs.xml).
- Blood moon horde scaling: `StrengthCurve`, `EnemyScaleMin`/`Max`, `MaxAliveScaleMin`/`Max`, `BMMaxSpawnedScale`.
- Fog and ambient tied to corrected moon phase, seasonal ambient presets tweaked.
- Snow biome optional sun dimming (`SunSnowBiomeIntensity`, `SunSnowBiomeIntensityMul`).
- UI/crosshair: in RealismConfigs.xml
- Calendar/lunar config: in RealismConfigs.xml
- UI overlaps fixed
- UI night brightness tweaks
### Mods that will be added in near future:
- Item wear (degradation) for lights. Install alongside if you want more immersive gameplay.
- Pocket watch. Slight game logic change: removes the top center compass HUD. Hold the watch to see time, date, compass, and related stats.

Changelog: 1.0.2
- Updated for latest 3.0 game version.
- Seasonal ambient lighting is now fully configurable in RealismConfigs.xml for each season separately.
- Fixed white particle blowout at deep night - breath, smoke, and torch particles.
- Fixed early pre-dusk sun fade.

- Fixed white particle blowout at deep night - breath, smoke, and torch particles.
- Fixed early pre-dusk sun fade.

- Fixed UI drag and drop cursor offset when using custom UI scale.

- Compatibility for PocketWatch mod: when installed, the top-center compass/calendar HUD is hidden and Realism stats (date, season, env, etc.) are shown on the watch instead.
- Trader restock date now uses the mod calendar (e.g. 4 Mar 2026) instead of vanilla game day index.
- Trader hours: traders can follow mod seasonal dawn/dusk instead of fixed traders.xml times. Toggle with TraderSeasonalHours - open/close offsets via TraderOpenOffsetMinutes / TraderCloseOffsetMinutes.
- Multiplayer config sync: host RealismConfigs.xml is sent to clients on connect/spawn (fixes calendar, moon phase, and dusk time desync between host and client).
- Lunar alignment adjusted so grace period no longer shows false Blood Moons (8-day window).
- Fixed ambient transition when storms activate/deactivate.
- Sun intensity: seasonal/diurnal tuning and smoother biome transitions.
- Known limitation: a single global sun light is used for the entire world. In summer at peak sun, distant snow biomes can look overexposed from other biomes until you enter snow (local snow dimming only applies at player position). This is a vanilla engine constraint, not a mod bug.
- Calendar / map UI: map stats, trader map panel, and in-world calendar blocks now use the mod calendar. Calendar look prompt adds moon phase and remaining blood moon nights for current month

- Small ambient light boost while night vision is active.
- Smooth fade in/out synced from screen effect intensity.
- 'streetLightBroken' forced fully off.
- For some POI lights: Caps range, intensity, spot angle and view distance added in RealismConfigs.xml
- Day length curve tweakable in RealismConfigs.xml for each season.
- Day length slightly longer by default
- Permanent night boolean added in RealismConfigs.xml (true = remove day, full night cycles)
- Stars no longer dim on new moon.
- Fixed blood moon date red UI sync to moon phase
- Blood moon horde scaling: +15% spawns on first/last window days
- Environmental fire as a real loop, you stay on fire longer, lose water, continuous heat damage.
- Running or jumping feeds the burn even more
