# Autumn

## 🍂 Autumn

*The forests turn gold and the leaves begin to fall. The harvest is rich, gather it before the frost.*

***

### **How it looks?**

* Leaves turn gold, orange and red, more with every phase. Birch trees finally change colour too: they take the autumn golds.
* Lots of falling leaves in autumn colours, most in late autumn.
* Mushrooms appear in forests and taiga, and vanish again when autumn ends.
* Water turns darker and murkier.
* Rustling leaves and the first cold wind.

***

### **Weather and time**

* Rainy: rain on 35-50% of days, rising through the season.
* Days get shorter: in late autumn the day passes 25% faster.

***

### **Temperature**

* Cooling down: from about 2 °C to -5 °C on top of the biome. Rain and wet clothes make it colder.

***

### **Farming and animals**

* **Harvest bonus:** up to 35% chance of extra crops from fully grown field crops.
* Crops slow down towards late autumn (50% in late autumn).
* Animals breed a little less often (85%).
* Foxes appear; in late autumn some monsters wear a pumpkin on their head.
* More spiders and bats; in late autumn a few strays among skeletons.

***

### **Fishing**

* Fish bite 25% faster: the best fishing season. Special catches: **Harvest Carp** and **Amber Pike**.

***

### **Festivals**

* **Harvest Festival** on day 4 (two days). Halloween follows the real date (31 October, from the evening).
