Custom Climate Cycle
Adds a new climate cycle setting allowing customization of every aspect, from period to temperature offsets, plus the ability to set up a runaway scenario. Access it through the new "Custom Climate Cycle" scenario part.

This is the more modular spiritual successor to my old Cold Climate Cycle mod from B18. For B19 I used Mehni’s Climate Cycle++, which is a good mod but didn’t let me have the exact climate cycle I wanted, one with a standard sine wave and overall cooler temperatures but not runaway in either direction.
Formula:
– Period offset: how many years into the cycle the game will be when it starts. Default 0, and can be randomized.
– Period: how many years the cycle takes to go through. Default 4.
– Temperature offset factor: The magnitude of the sine wave. If the temperature offset is 0, this is the maximum variation from normal temperatures. Default 20.
– Temperature offset: Lets you modify the default yearly temperature. Negative values make the whole cycle colder, positive ones make it warmer. Default 0.
– X-coefficient: a modifier which lets you set runaway warming or cooling. Negative values make temperature trend colder over time, positive ones make it trend hotter. Default 0.

– You need to use the new "Custom climate cycle" scenario part; simply adding a custom climate cycle as a standard game condition will work, but it’ll be the same as a normal climate cycle.
– You should be able to layer multiple Custom Climate Cycles to get non-sine behavior if you want to go through the effort, and by zeroing out the temperature offset factor, temperature offset, and x-coefficient you can do things like balance the game’s overall temperature (making a warmer or cooler planet) or simply make temperature increase/decrease over time without a cycle.
– No mod compatibility issues are expected; this doesn’t modify any base game code.
