''A ball Snowballs are used to slow decay of snow that someone makes usually food when placed in the icebox of a [[larder]], for throwingsome food recipes, for player hydration, and for snowball fights. This has a very low nutrition value''
As winter draws closer bee hives go dormant ==Gathering==Snowballs can be found in [[Winter]] by right-clicking a ground tile and clicking '''Collect snow '''. Snow starts being collectible becoming available on tilesapproximately 21 hours after the beginning of Winter. To collect, just right click After snowballs are collected from a tile and "gather snow", they will be replenished periodically throughout Winter.

== Description ==
''A ball of snow that someone makes, usually for throwing.''
The number of snowballs you can gather from a tile depends on the type of tile:* '''1''': [[Stone slabs]], [[Slate slabs]], [[Sandstone slabs]], [[Marble slabs]], [[Lawn]], [[Steppe tile|Steppe]], [[Tundra]], [[grass|Short grass]] and [[tree|trees/bushes]] with short grass.* '''2''': [[grass|Medium grass]], [[tree|trees/bushes]] with medium grass.* '''3''': [[grass|Tall grass]], [[tree|trees/bushes]] with tall grass.* '''4''': [[grass|Wild grass]].The tiles must not be within a building. Snowballs can also be found year-round by collecting from [[Snow pile]] [[Resource nodes]]. Snowball item count from snow pile nodes is significantly increased in winter, however. For instance, [[Snow pile]]s below the snow line will yield 8 snowballs instead of 4. The [[quality]] of a snowball is random, with a maximum of 99.00. Average quality is determined by how many snowballs can be collected on the tile, and how many have already been collected in that action. When gathering multiple snowballs from the same tile or [[Snow pile]], they will decrease slightly in quality with each successive snowball you gather. Tiles producing only 1 snowball are likely to produce one at maximum quality. ==Notes==* You will find more [[Snow pile]]s at higher altitudes.
*Snow will become more abundant over time as winter sets in, and will be much easier to collect.
*Snowballs have a 12-hour (real life hours) decay 'grace period', during which they will not start decaying in your inventory.
*A snowball can be thrown at various targets by activating the snowball and then right-clicking the target and selecting "Throw Snowball". No damage or hostility is invoked here.
*Snowballs cannot be stored in bulk storage containers such as food storage bins or crates.
*The [[snowman statue]] is an additional way to generate snowballs.
