Insulated Flask questions...
Is there any characteristic difference between the rabbit and orange band insulated flasks?
Does how long they keep things warm depend on difficulty? How long has anyone observed they preserve hot beverages? They should keep things warm at least 6-8 hours in-game IMHO.

Looks like they keep things warm for ~ 6 hours indoor and 3 hours outdoor:

- The contents of a Flask lose internal heat per minute at a rate of:

- Indoor: 0.25% per min (400 mins until Cold)
- Outdoor: 0.50% per min (200 mins until Cold)

I think they only vary in cosmetics. And I don't think the difficulty factors in their use.

Not sure about the heat decay, but it looks like adding a hot beverage into a cold flask fills up the heat meter by a dot.

Also, I know we gots to deal with the thing using the base storage mechanics, but I really expected to just access it from the wheel when I want to warm up. Taking it out one by one in the inventory feels really janky.

I haven't bothered to test it out, but the one beverage I stored was cold not much later. The meter on the flask is capacity, not how hot it is. I haven't filled one up all the way yet as I don't want that much added weight if it isn't going to last 10-12 hours in-game.
