TELLS YOU THE LOCAL TEMPERATURE.
Weather & Temperatures
---------------------------------
PenQuin Weather is based on the true temperatures of the Artic & Antartic. The weather usually changes daily 1 or 2 centigrade around midnight UK time - 6pm SLT. These daily changes does not nesesarily need a change of Equipment, as you know in real life weather changes gradually over the seasons, it is the same with PenQuin Weather. In different Seasons you may or may not need Climate Control Equipment such as Heaters & Coolers. Extra help can be found at the mainstore ie: There are items such as Weather Charts, Forecasters & Thermometers to help you if you want. PenQuin Summer - Dec, Jan & Feb Warm -55 to -65 Mid-Year - Aug, Sep, Oct & Nov Average -65 to -75 PenQuin Winter - May, June & July Cold -75 to -85 PenQuin Types: There are 4 Breeds of PenQuin but they fit into 3 Types (the Types are what u should look at when thinking about their temperatures) Different types of PenQuin maybe kept together as their temperature preferences have an over-lap but when just beginning with PenQuins maybe you would like to keep them apart until you are used to them Please read on.... Type 1 - Speckled, Plain & Easter Breeds: These are happiest in Mid-Year. (ideal temperatures: -65 to -75c, they start to get uncomfortable out of these temperature zones) Type 2 - Furry: Furrys prefer mid to cold weather, their ideal temperature is -70 to -80. (ideal temperatures: -70 to -80c, they start to get uncomfortable out of these temperature zones) Type 3 - Ice: These prefer Winter Conditions. (ideal temperatures: -75 to -85c, they start to get uncomfortable out of these temperature zones)
Climate-Control Equipment
------------------------------------
Climate Control equipment are items to cool or warm PenQuins. They will change the local temperature around your PenQuins only & not other people's PenQuins. The Thermometer is helpful but not essential as you can see your Penquin's temperature on it's Stats but it can be handy & when changing Equipment to click the Thermometer. It settles the local temperature faster. The thermometer tells you the temperature both global & local when clicked *Global temperature is the actual weather temperature. *Local temperature is the temperature that your Equipment has changed for your PenQuins to feel more comfortable.
CHANGING YOUR LOCAL CLIMATE
--------------------------------------------------
Each piece of Equipment changes the temperature around your PenQuins as follows: Icicle cools by 1c Flask warms by 1c Snowball cools by 5c hot water Bottle warms by 5c Fan cools by 10c Heater warms by 10c Snowman cools by 10c You can place more than 1 piece of Equipment for instance if you place 2 Hot water bottles it would be the same as placing 1 Heater. PenQuins may take a while to warm up or cool down after changing equipment but will definately settle within the hour. Feel free to collect the Free weather charts in-store to help you decide on which Equipment is needed.
