Like all buffs they can be modified to player style

Buffs.xml ... find line with buffNewbieCoat and replace it with the following, save and its done, no more newbie coat.

<!-- <triggered_effect trigger="onSelfBuffStart" action="AddBuff" buff="buffNewbieCoat"/>-->

If you start in a Snow biome you want this buff. Or you are 100% death.
Its not hand holding its a necessity under some circumstances. Or you need as alternative Isolationg clothes you can craft the first 5 Minutes

So your saying that its realistic. gotchya. its not neccesary,even in snow biome you can find shelter and fire. Game is mean to be about survival

[BGratz]

I said its about balance, not realism
Realism is that if you awake nude in a Snow biome you are death

New players might take a while to find into it. It's probably there not to discourage them.

We have had that in earlier iterations of the temperature system and I considered it a great experience.
Spawning in snow was a make or break situation, where you actually had to put on all your wits (and game experience) to get out alive of this start.

Unlike the current system where basically all survival topics are nilly-willy-ROFL-stomp (especially as long, as under the start-buff)

So "needed" might be a bit of a stretch for this feature.

It is great for new players u til they get the hang of the game - and I am all in to have it as an option to help overcome the first-contact with his game.

For a seasoned player it might be more of an annoyance.

This is true. bur being honest,im not seasoned, and even if i picked up this game today first time i would not want a feature like this.

I guess it depends on the seed and luck too. I can remember starts in Snow biome i found no Town or clothes for over a day

Run, use your torch and make campfires, build a tiny little shack if needs really be. Starting in the snow biome a couple versions ago was the best experience you could have.

The current start is boring AF.

Only works if set before starting an entirely new game. Not affect current in game players

If you then check your "character" menu from a fresh start it wont state "death penalty xp" buff ... removed at lvl 6

i did start a new game. yes i see the message you mention,it indeed does dissapear,yet when i went to the cold biome naked,my temp was 21.11 degrees always. i remember freezing there before when naked. istayed there naked a while ,never had cold effects.

i wonder now if it was because i used "DM"(No god mod,just fly)

will try again thanks.

Below that line are weather triggers for hot and cold ... they to need to be commented out in order for those affects to be active on player

Here is a modlet for that:
