Custom Latitude

<h2 style="text-align: left;">Custom Latitude</h2> <p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Custom Latitude adds a world creation setting for choosing the exact starting latitude in worlds that use Realistic climate.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Instead of being limited to the vanilla starting climate presets, you can pick the latitude yourself and begin anywhere from the <strong>north pole</strong> to the <strong>equator</strong> to the <strong>south pole</strong>, including any value in between.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">With Custom Latitude, you can also set the <strong>starting month</strong> or enable<strong> randomised latitude</strong>, creating more varied and challenging playthroughs.</p> <h3 style="text-align: left;">Features</h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul style="text-align: left;"> <li>Adds a <strong>Use a custom starting latitude</strong> world setting</li> <li><strong>Starting latitude</strong> input has decimal support</li> <li>Applies the latitude shift during world generation</li> <li>Keeps generated climate zones and displayed latitude consistent</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Update v1.1.0:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Updated to game version 1.22.0 (<strong>this update is specific to only this game version!</strong>)</li> <li>Moved all mod settings to a<strong> separate world config tab</strong> labeled "Custom Latitude"</li> <li>Added a setting to<strong> randomize the starting latitude</strong> between -90&deg;
