Heatwaves

[senillosa]

Create something to combat the heatwave, because when the heatwave comes it's game over and completely destroys the game.
ventilators are useless, it's 59 outside and 48 inside, it's stupid and the game loses all interest.
40 hours of gameplay to make a map and it ends in game over because of a heatwave we can't do anything about.

As far as I'm concerned, you have to add something to combat the heatwave, otherwise it's a negative review, this game doesn't work properly.

Straw hat, t-shirt, summer pants, summer shoes. Untouchable by heatwaves.

I've already put all my survivors in the nude and they're still life-threatening. I put them in front of the ventilator and they redecend a little, but I never manage to get them past 4 days, they die of fatigue or starve, and they're forced to move away from the ventilator.

[Flin Fredstone]

Nude isn't heat protection. Check the clothing for heat/cold tolerance.
In the character panel equipment tab in the lower part you see their tolerance to heat and cold according by what they are wearing.

I know that, With summer clothes that don't work, all dies.
Nude I have a chace, I'm in the 5th day.

Summer clothes create sweating, without clothes they don't sweat, which creates a major difference in mood, they're on the brink of crisis, if they sweat half of them will go into crisis.

[Flin Fredstone]

I have yet to see someone with the clothes on in the screenshot above to sweat. Unless you park them in front of a heat source where the temperature is more than 55 C.

[senillosa]

Yes, it was 59°c, the survivors sweat, except in front of the fans, the problem is that I was losing survivors trying to create fans, the areas where they eat and sleep are not equipped with fans, the fans still managed to save me, I finished the heatwave, I have two survivors.
The game is very badly done with the heatwave, I play in hard, I survive very easily to a period of high cold, but the heatwave is totally dumb, the devs have done anything.

Are you far enough along to research and build the heat pump? Cool your buildings and cancel outside activities until the heat wave passes.

[senillosa]

The cap doesn't work well, the straw hat is indispensable in hard weather.
My second heatwave, all my survivors had hats, so there were far fewer problems.

heat pump do nothing, if I have only the pump I switch 59° outdoor to 49-50° indoor.
Maybe that work with concrete or carbon but I haven't this one.

Flin is not lying to you about heat protection from clothing, look at the stats. Yes, straw hats are magical. I wish they worked that well in real life. I couldn't imagine being outside all day with no AC at 130F, but in the game you can.

Synthetic and carbon armor chest pieces also give heat protection, maybe they have built in fans somehow. If you look on the clothing tab it will tell you what temperatures your people can tolerate based on what they're wearing. You can see the values change when you tell them to wear something else.

If they're wearing the right clothing you don't need to worry about heating or cooling their shelter ever. But it's a challenge to get clothing and armor up and running in time.

No! in hard, a straw hat is essential, summer clothes are not enough.

I've just survived my second heatwave, with hats on, and I've only had one sunstroke (no vital prognosis).

The heatwave I just went through was 55°C, the first one was 59°C.

The difference makes a big difference to the game.
at 59°C, summer clothes without hats don't protect you, you die anyway.

I was including hats in the clothing that have heat protection. I said they are magical. I was also suggesting you add chest armor if you can because that helps too. Going nude provides no extra protection.

You can have multiple heat pumps in a building. As many as you want, as long as you have the wall space and power. You can adjust the desired temp as well.

Players often use heat pumps to create walk-in freezers.

[Flin Fredstone]

As Zep Tepi said, used a synthetic vest as well and that bumps the heat tolerance up to 60 C. Should be good even in your case.
