Resilient trait
Hi Survivors,

Anyone got experience with this trait, been wondering since an outdoors man, with prone to illness are a quite good as a combo (some problably beleive its meta and rightfully so), making you ALMOST immune to the cold, but you can catch it tried it myself and seen others get it as well.

So that makes me wonder if resilient + outdoorsman might make you immune to the cold, anyone got experience regarding this? Not sure how they calculate the added lowering of chances to get the cold,

Outdoorsman:

10% chance of catching a cold. 1% or 1.25% chance of getting scratched/lacerated while Walking or Running through trees. Start a fire on campfires with Notched Plank faster. Affects search mode

Prone to illness:

125% progression rate of zombification. 170% chance of catching a cold, 120% cold strength, and 150% cold progression speed.

Resilient:

75% zombification progression rate, 45% chance of catching a cold, 80% cold strength and 50% cold progression speed.

basically looking to build a character that can go kill regardless of weather conditions and possible live in the wild at summer time up until the start of oktober making my kill raids, sleeping outside at a fishing spot.

You will always have Some chance of getting a cold, as the values in question are if I recall correctly multiplicative, not additive/reductive.

Meaning that if you say you have a 50% chance of catching a cold at first, the outdoorsman effect would reduce that to 10% of 50, or 5%; And then the Resillient effect would reduce that further to 45% of 5, or 2.25%

To write it more concisely, You have <X> * 0.1 * 0.45 = <Y> chance of catching a cold when you have both those traits and the conditions to catch one are right. You'll get closer to 0% with both; But not TO 0%.
