Heat/cold system

[Ouch Quit It]

So can anyone explain how the hot/ cold system works.......i put in insulation mods and im cold everytime it rains.....It s like Valheim with the rain.....bit much!! No more ponchos and raincoats.....so how do you stay warm....carrying a torch up your ■■■ all the time now.....Doesnt make sense....having to go indoors all the time. I hate being told how to play a game, with gates and forced suggestions...BRING BACK THE OLD VERSIONS...SO MUCH BETTER!!

Are you putting in just insulation mods or are you including clothes too? The better the clothes, the better protected you are.

For colder weather, I got by with eating warm foods/drinks, having a torch or a tool with a flame on it in my hand, or standing by a campfire.

There are 2 different systems to stay warm. Insulation mods and clothing items. Both have tiers. If you're wearing all low-tier clothing and no mods, you're going to get cold in the raid. As you progress, you'll find better clothing (higher quality and higher tier) as well as insulation mods that are higher tiers. With a combination of both max tier/quality clothing and max tier mods, you can be warm almost all the time in the game. I think the only time I wasn't was in the snowy forest when the temperature got down to the coldest it could get. And I was only barely below the threshold to be cold. I think that's actually good. Having some instances where you're cold even with the best stuff on makes sense.

Anyhow, you're going to be cold in the early game. You'll progress into not being cold as you go through the game and increase in game stage.

Getting 100% wet reduces your cold tolerance by 16 (if I recall correctly). It makes sense because that's sort of realistic. What would make it more realistic is having rain gear.

What's just plain nonsense is, you're in the winter biome, it's -10C and it starts snowing. You're quickly 100% wet and start freezing. At -10C you get wet from sweating from too much insulation or exertion, not from snowfall.

What sucks is even with the best insulation liners and mods, we STILL have to consume warm food and drinks or have fire of some sort, even if it's not snowing at the time.

Unless it has changed, that wasn't the case for me in the snowy forest in 2.5. I was fine except when the outside temperature dropped to the bottom of the range that it can be there. That was with all four pieces of T3 Q6 clothing and one max tier insulation mod per armor. I'm not even sure that I had one on every armor piece.

None of my current clothing is maxed out. I still get cold in the winter biome at night, but not during the day. However, it’s pretty manageable if I don’t have any warm food or drinks on hand. What makes it annoying is the freezing effect on my screen. Get outta here!

Definitely! I would *really* like an option to disable those screen effects for all biomes. I've never liked games that cover half (maybe 1/4, but it feels like half) your screen like that. I definitely don't need a visual reminder that I'm cold.

I also never use warm food or drinks to stay warm. I've never even considered it since the cold is pretty much pointless beyond the annoying visual effect. It might be a little worse than it used to be before they removed temperature, but it's still entirely ignorable.

I try to use up all the available ways to stay warm or cool, but you’re right, they are not necessary, just another avenue one could take if they wanted to.
