Colors of thermomitor

[Dosboy]

I've searched for this everywhere and can't find anything. Can someone please explain the different colors of the thermometer that appears on lower left? Thank you.

Red means your character is hot, Orange means warm, white is comfortable, light blue is cold, while dark blue indicates freezing. If your character is hot or warm, your water meter decreases faster than normal (you're sweating). White is the 'sweet spot'... not too warm or too cold. When your character is cold or freezing, they have a chance to get sick (catch a cold where you cough, thereby making stealth very difficult or impossible). Also, if your temperature is freezing for too long, a blue skull timer will appear. If you can't warm up before the timer runs out, you freeze to death.

Awesome. Thanks for the explanation.

It is also explained in the in-game Survival Guide :)

Really? I've read through that a bunch of times and didn't see it but was looking for other things.

I went back through the built in guide and I only see that it says "temperature icons will appear. I don't see where it says what the colors are. It's pretty easy to figure out once you've been through a few seasons though. Just wanted to confirm however.

If you hover over it should tell you what they mean, although there was a bug when the hypothermia overlay was on the screen it prevented to tool tip icon.

I see that now. That's great. Hover over info is awesome if you can provide that as much as possible.

That's the goal, if we miss something feel free to point it out so we can correct it.

That's excellent. IMHO Rimworld is the king at mouse-over tips and of course we know how popular it is. One thing I noticed is the word "vehicle" was spelled wrong when I was looking under the hood of a car or truck. Just checked the one in my garage and that one's fine though. If I find it again, should I post it on this thread or somewhere else?

Appreciate it a screen shot would help as it may be isolated to one specific vehicle

The cars that can be destroyed for scrap and sheet metal have a small chance of dropping a random car part

[Dosboy]

Wow, that will help.

This is the type of tip we normally keep hidden
