Seasons/World

Seasons in Don't Starve alternate between Summer and Winter.

In Sandbox Mode, if you don't customize your world, the first winter will begin on day 21 and end on day 37 (16 days total). The seasons should then keep alternating between 20 days Summers and 16 days Winters (next winter on day  57, etc).

For customization:
 * A long season lasts around 50 days
 * A short season lasts around 10 days

During Summer, the days are longer, crops grow, and Food is easier to find.

In Winter, Nights are longer and the player must stay warm to avoid Freezing to death. Plants stop growing and many creatures stop being active, while some new others will come out.

Winter is a difficult challenge, and players should prepare for it during the Summer by stocking up on resources and making sure they will have sources of heat, Food and Health as well as the means to defend themselves from Monsters.
