Tips for murder snow
Does anyone know any tips. I know otters, bears and dimetrodons (I'm probably not gonna tame dimetrodons specifically for this) do insulation, but do bears, mammoths, wolves or rhinos do insolation

A little bit of Fort stat added and then an AScendant Fur Cap.. Cold will never be a problem

Not true in murder snow.

My suggestion is take a back up plan for when it gets too bad. I have full fur with a few upgraded pieces (low tier) and one Mastercraft (chest) with a 400 melee otter and I can stay in most parts of murder snow with a snowflake. I always get icecube in some places though. If my health ever gets too low I carry a tent and a handful of standing torches with a single stack of Angler gel. If my health gets low from the cold I set up the tent and then add torches as needed to get warm. It's only needed for me when I'm taming in murder snow and want to sit next to my tame. (Had a level 150 Quetz knocked out there that needed protected on a PvP server)

OK I was in the Murder Murder snow, during a blizzard at night. the temp got down to -90 degrees F. was looking for a ice wyvern egg. I had on a full set of ASC fur armor and I STILL got the little snowflake.

My question is if mammoths or any snow creatures besides otters and bears give insolation

I dont think so. just otters.

Only insulating creatures I know are those two, dimetrodon and Basilo's the latter of which obviously can't help you in the snow haha

Edit: almost forgot Kairuku, but you'd look ridiculous wandering around with a flock of penguins lol

I'm not near a computer, but can someone test it out for me, that would be very helpful

decent leveled otter with a ton of melee gives a lot of cold resist. we go at -80's with mastercraft fur, and a good otter.

Para-platform set up with house/crafting base/stone fireplaces for murder snow exploration.

On one of my playthroughs I actually had that Jack, it was fun. except for the Ice Wyverns attacking me lol.

Drink Wyvern milk when venturing into the murder snow.

Cold immunity basically

Edit:It can also be consumed by players to grant the Insulating Warmth buff, which gives 787 hypothermal insulation

Pair that with your fur armor and no more ice cube.
