Taking clothing off when sleeping?
Does taking clothes off and storing them in containers do any good while sleeping? Does it make the clothes degrade slower? But wouldn't i get extremely cold without them?

would you take all your clothes off to sleep in this environment?

Yes, it does. You need to wear only clothes that will ensure your body sleeps in 0 or higher temperature. Usually it is 1 piece of underwear with condition above 50 or so. The rest of your clothes should wait for you in drawer, if you do not want them to wear down.

So this is all I need? And I assume that is 0 degrees celsius?

You assume correctly.

Does it have to "feel like 0 degree C" or does it have to be 0 celsius in the room? For example, right now it feels like 1 degree celsius, but it's actually -1 in the room.

"Feel like" is what matters.

Alright, makes sense.

Ugggh that's gamey as ♥♥♥♥. Game shouldn't incentivize these kinds of counter-intuitive strategies IMO.

It is trying to achieve some kind of similarity to real life. When you sleep in a home, you are taking your boots of too. You do not have too, and no manual tells you to do it. :demoticon:

You don't strip naked to sleep at ~0C. But I can see what you're getting at.

Yeah. I got your point too.

I think what they could do is either make clothing management less tedious, or eliminate clothing durability decay during sleep by assuming the character strips down to their long underwear. The idea of going into the inventory, manually unequipping all my clothes, and then stashing them into a container makes me want to stab my eyeballs.

Ha. its not THAT hard. A better menu for managing inventory whould help. ( select several things than transfer...ect )

Some kind of picture of the body in the inventory screen would be ideal, to show which clothes are on. Maybe a "strip down to underwear" button, in addition to being able to remove clothes manually.
