🌡️ Climate Event

What happens when you trigger a Climate Event?

• Immediate Heat Spike: Temperature jumps by +1.0°C instantly
• Species Impact: All species are tested against their heat tolerance thresholds
• Health Loss: Species that exceed their tolerance lose health based on how much they're stressed
• Extinctions: Species with 0 health die and are removed from the ecosystem
• Cascade Effects: When key species die, others that depend on them also lose health
• Ecosystem Disruption: Lost connections and broken food webs reduce overall ecosystem health

Strategy Tips:

• Check each species' heat tolerance before triggering events
• Species with low tolerance (below 20) are most vulnerable
• Key pollinators and predators dying can cause ecosystem collapse
• Multiple climate events compound the damage exponentially

⚠️ Warning: Climate events are irreversible unless you reset. Use the year slider to see gradual climate change effects instead.
