Q: Is it save game compatible? A: Let it henceforth be engraved in silicon and copper, so that it may be known to all who will ignore this part and ask anyway: this mod is saved game compatible.

Q: I found a bug, where should I report that? A: I have a discussions page just for that, it's pinned, but here's the link anyway: Bug Reports

Q: I want remain on an old version on the game, why don't you have old versions of the mod on the workshop? A: I do in-place updates because as a modder maintaining multiple versions on the workshop is annoying and as a player having to go through your mod list and hunt down the new version for every mod on the list is a royal pain. Additionally, I already have a system in place for distributing old versions of the mod on my github, all you need to do is download the mod that corresponds to your game version, extract the zip to your RimWorld mods directory (see the included readme for additional help), and it should show up in your mod list with a folder icon next to it.

Q: Will XYZ plant mod be snow-ified? A: Highly unlikely, at least on my end. While the Snowy Trees code is capable of handling other mods, the art is an entirely different story. Under the hood, Snowy Trees requires a modified graphic to function, given that plants have have a number of visual states (immature, default, leafless, and potentially polluted), the extra work stacks up rather quickly. Furthermore, while the modding community for RimWorld is utterly phenomenal about open source projects and publicly posting source code, it's not nearly as common to include the source files for art assets. It's understandable and I totally get it, but it makes snow-ifying plants way more work than it needs to be. Especially given that I already struggle to keep up with the vanilla art, which the Ludeon team is kind enough to post source files for. From a time value perspective, I get way more enjoyment from programming than I do from mucking around in photoshop/ illustrator to produce art. In short, my burning passions are in Intellectual (and crafting to some extent) and not Artistic.
