Dying Of Heat In Ark Scorched.

[James39]

Happend many time when it´s very hot, start losing health. Even though I get into a shelter either a hay or wood shelter, most of the time I end dying. My heath continues to go down. How can this be avoided?

[heroicidiot]

There's something called drink water, don't stand around fire, and wear cloth

[DragonEnchantress]

Build with Adobe or hide in a tent too

[DragonEnchantress]

Oh and improve your fortitude

[Frostbringer]

In SE? Are you wearing desert gear or using a tent?

[Skeletor]

also standing in water helps,but care for the kaprosuchus

You need to increase your resistance to heat (or cold). This is for The Island, The Center, and Ragnaroc. Scorched Earth is a whole different issue.

Wear "armor" that helps you resist heat, such as Cloth or Ghillie.
Hide, Flak and Riot can actually make heat/cold worse.

Go inside your hut or building, close the door. You will see a house icon appear on the right. Being inside a closed building increases your level of insulation.

Put points into Fortitide. Among other things, this increases your resistance to heat and cold.

Sometimes these are not enough. I just started a new game today and had an extended period of 110 degrees plus... being in my hut wasn't enough. (Press H to see the temp) I spammed blue berries like a fiend and still nearly ran out of health before the temps abated. Had about 10 points left. Had I been outside.... death.

Thanks ye all, mates......

Forttude is an aid, not a solution to temperature. I have 50 in fortitude and still suffer from extreme heat / extreme cold in certain places on the map, it helps but do not think it solves the problem. Also, recipes can provide buffs to protect against cold/heat. Iced water jars help, the correct clothing and always carry cooked food with you to help regain health in dangerous situations.

I have my basic clothes on, hunger and thrist level acceptable, fortitude of 6, get into my shelter, and stll die. Even eatting or drinking does not save me.

its normal to die like 50 times when just getting started in SE best to get tent as quick as can before then places a simple bed and chest so can respawn and just store mats till can get going

Are you on a modded server?
Have you setup base in one of the more extreme biomes?

If dying of heat, go naked. Turn off anything that has a flame, campfire, furnace, torches etc
Eat cooked meat when health drops and your character starts to sigh a lot.

Fortitude of 6 is nothing.
When players say "increase your fortitude", they mean get it up to 20 or 30... or higher.
Yes, it takes points that you could have added to something "more important", like speed, health, or melee.

Melee is always a favorite for new players. Wrong. You are weak. Go up against some "real" carnivores and 200 melee isn't going to save you. You need dinos to do that work for you.

Speed, so you can run. Stamina, so you can keep running. Fortitude so you don't die from exposure out in the wilderness. And the most important... Weight.

The whole map is a extreme biome. Even naked, the heat kills me. Will try with a tent.
