Re: Which World gets the Least Rain?

@PugLove888 - I guess it would be more accurate to say the environment looks like it was modeled after spaghetti westerns that supposedly took place in Texas. As far as rain goes, though, we do get most of ours here, from what I've seen, in the summer. It's likely got something to do with the gulf and hurricane season. But the snow in Chestnut Ridge is far beyond what we get ever. It seems like a really heavy mashup of US mid-west and southwest and like they were just going for mostly a general old west movie vibe. Hard to really nail down beyond that.

@iamsweetmystery yes the tropical storms and hurricanes sometimes make it farther north to my area, but usually they miss us. So it isn't too often that we get rain from them. Our summers are usually hot and dry.

Since Texas was once covered by a sea, we have a lot of whiteish limestone, instead of the reddish sandstone that you see in Chestnut Ridge. North Texas is a flat plain/prairie, and isn't very hilly, and certainly not mountainous. Chestnut Ridge is definitely not the plains or prairies! We have a lot of grass (with some mesquite trees, live oaks, cottonwood, and hackberry elm in certain places.)
The pictures I've seen of Utah look the closest to Chestnut Ridge since there are more hills and mountains, and a lot of reddish sandstone. (Utah even has red sandstone arches on its license plates!) Also, they get more snow than most of Texas does. 😉 Even if the developers were thinking of Texas, what they had in mind wasn't Texas but most likely was Utah. 😅

@PugLove888 - Been playing a lot in the new world, Tomarang. Definitely not a Servo friendly place. Not surprising since it's essentially a rainforest. One more to add to the "Servos don't go here" pile.
