World Climate Lab 0.1.10 Fixed Worlds no longer freeze over at around 5% of the settle when the first year starts far from balance. Tidally locked worlds no longer get far too much rain under their sun. Big storms now build thick, bright cloud tops that shade the ground, as real
Climate Model choice on the welcome screen and in Settings. Fast is the model you had; Detailed adds the deep ocean and takes three to four times longer to settle. Settle starts from the world’s own star, tilt and orbit. Cool-star worlds no longer begin 20 degrees too warm; stron
Fixed worlds with short years are classed as deserts. Rain was counted per month of the planet’s own year, so a planet that circles its star in a few weeks never reached the thresholds for a wet climate, no matter how much it rained. Rain is now measured per Earth month in the cl
World Climate Lab 0.1.7 ADDED Export Climate Data saves every climate map as numbers rather than colours, for analysis and for other software: temperature, precipitation, rainfall, snowfall, soil water, snow and ice cover and elevation, yearly and month by month, plus the land ma

World Climate Lab 0.1.6 Added Framed exports can name each climate zone in the key as well as give its code, for anyone who doesn't know the codes. Turn on "Show climate names in the key" in the Export window. Export All Layers saves a picture of every layer into one folder, as p
Fix for rough maps and long settles no longer grow stripes, and Earth's climate zones match the real world a bit better.
Added support for a commonly known laptop bug affecting games, esp in regards to sound. added a flip for drag direction in settings
Hotfix: Simulation now pauses Stars are once again correctly calculated and fitted to real data tooltip misreading fixed
World Climate Lab 0.1.2 - The Living Climate Update World Climate Lab now runs the same kind of physics as academic models run. The primitive equations of a rotating atmosphere, solved on ten levels, with radiation, moisture, cloud, a slab ocean and sea ice: the physics academic

Climate simulation Corrected an equatorial moisture-budget error that allowed small seas and lakes to sustain rainfall across unrealistically large tropical regions. Amongst other model fine-tuning improvements Maps, Satellite view, and exports Added mouse-wheel zooming, mouse-dr
Two intensive days of climate model development and tuning (With lack of sleep), interface polish, localisation, and release preparation have brought the improved atmospheric model into the main build. Climate simulation Improved how moisture crosses mountain ranges, rains out du
Patch list Settings, accessibility, and performance Added a dedicated Settings menu for interface size, language, GPU load, and simulation rate. Preferences are saved between sessions. Interface scaling can now be set from 100% to 200%. Scaling covers the welcome screen, simulato
Fix list: Orbital displays now account for eccentricity when animating planets, moons, and binary stars. Orbiting bodies now accelerate toward periapsis and slow toward apoapsis, following Kepler's second law. Elliptical orbit positions now use one shared Kepler-equation calculat
This update focuses particularly on crashes and freezes reported on integrated and lower-powered graphics hardware. Changes include: Automatic detection of integrated and lower-powered GPUs. A reduced-load Integrated GPU Mode to lower graphics-memory pressure. The active GPU mode
