Nice to have visual representation of the climates, now do we know the temperature range of each climate (in Fahrenheit and urists preferably)? This will help us further determine advantages/disadvantages of a site. Of course an in-game thermometer script, for both kinds of game play and in the site finder, where it shows the seasonal temperatures, would be nice as well, if not totally doable. - EricBlank
Why does a search for 'alignment' direct me here? There is no information regarding alignment on this page. Seems like it should direct you to the Surroundings page. 203.217.90.130 06:59, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Climate temperature ranges inaccurate
I'm calling bullshit on the temperature ranges listed. I've generated plenty of worlds (usually when using strange temperature settings in worldgen) that have, say, cold temperate swamps, or warm tropical forests. I know for a fact that biomes can include temperatures outside the ranges listed, and personally believe there's a good chance that temperature doesn't affect biome creation at all except for rather specific ones (like tundra, glaciers, taiga, and deserts).
