Forest Mysteries are generated at the start of each game, based on the map’s difficulty and biome. Some effects are simple modifiers influencing production, lowering speed or destroying buildings, but some are based on your villagers' needs. For example: Hailstorm can kill villagers during the Storm, but if they have a home, they are safe.

Positive Forest mysteries are active during the Drizzle season.
