Yeah Ruben just died on me in the 1st shelter just now. He froze to death despite me keeping the room above 10C. It was Day 5 and I had just gotten the pills the day before to treat him.

Yep, in one of my playthrough Ruben "froze" on day 4 or 5 on me, even though the temperature was 10 degrees Celsius when I came home in the morning.

I think there's still chance characters get sick even if you keep the temperature above 10. So if someone is already "terminally ill" and they get another sick status they just die.

Btw the "he froze to death" message is probably just a bug, it's supposed to say he died of illness or some such.

Yeah, this just happened to me too. Any idea if this is going to cause a 'dead end' on this playthrough? Or, can it still be played out and just deal with the consequences?

It won't

To avoid sickness temperature must be at 15 or higher, when temp is 20 or higher, survivors will heal faster.

Keep temp at 15 or over at all times! Make sure that you have plenty of firewood in your fireplaces before the day ends.

Same here and it really pissed me off because I upgraded the heater on day 4 and when it upgraded wiped out the 4 fuel I have burning at the time. Are you sure this isn't scripted?
