Shard Seasons

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-03

Overview

Shard_Seasons is a low-level network synchronization component attached to shard entities (e.g., world shards). It ensures that seasonal state data—such as current season, season lengths, elapsed/remaining days—is accurately shared between the master shard (server) and client shards. It is strictly for internal use and only instantiated on the master simulation (TheWorld.ismastersim). Client-side replication is handled via network variables linked to "seasonsdirty" updates.

Usage example

This component is not intended for direct modder usage. It is automatically added and managed by the engine for shard entities.

None — this component only initializes network variables and event listeners. It does not expose any callable public methods.

Events & listeners

• Listens to:
  • master_seasonsupdate — (only on master shard) updates local season data from network data.
  • seasonsdirty — (only on non-master shard) triggers sending current season state to master shard via secondary_seasonsupdate.
• Pushes:
  • secondary_seasonsupdate — sent to master shard to propagate client-side seasonal state changes.
