Running the Mac version, when I export the world map either after generation or from Legends mode, some areas of forest, savanna, and hills are white instead of green or yellow. This happens with 38c and 39b (didn't try 39a), every single time.

A lot of area in the north is white, where it's colder, but there's also some affected area further south.

Why are these areas white?

[Neoskel]

Probably just as cold down there. Temperature and stuff is a little more mobile in the new version.

This happens with 38c as well as the current 39b. There are also white Temperate areas, as well as Warm areas. The white area between the central mountain range, and the Terrifying mountain range to the east is Warm Grassland, Savanna, and Badlands; only a few parts of the Badlands are not white, but on the Embark screen everything is nice and colored.

Do other people have these white areas on their map exports? Maybe this is a Mac-specific bug?

It's because the game starts out at the beginning of spring, so any area that's going to get snow will be covered in snow.

I believe the white is calm alignment.

yeah this def makes it harder to mark out/find spots when looking at the bmp

A new picture can be taken in Legends Mode. That one shouldn't be that white if some time has passed (and so the snow has, hopefully, melted). This problem has been around some time, but somehow it isn't listed as a bug.

I don't understand how it can be snow (some areas are Warm, does it snow in Warm areas?), but running a fort for a few turns, then abandoning it, worked for exporting from Legends again. Thanks.
