Freezing to death NEXT TO A LIT FIRE?

[TTV | QuintessenceHD]

So I am in my house with the door closed and a fire lit, I freeze to death why..?

[Chiika]

Build a second fire.

[Pedo Pete]

Make more than one fire

[TTV | QuintessenceHD]

I actually rage quit and when I read those comments started the game again to build a second fire. However... I wasn't freezing to death anymore..? Buggy game :/

[LordStorm27]

is one space heater enough to heat an entire home? i think not :D

Alpha ;-)
But yeah this is intended, think about it if youre out on your own, minus degrees and snow out there, and you're wearing just your underpants. I think you'll also freeze, at least partially at the back. ;-)

Show me the heater that easily reaches a temperature of 900°C and i'll consider your point.

The temperature varies during the day cycle and the night cycle....

It's also probably made of Thatch, which is nice in the Tropics but in the depths of Winter... not so much. Grass huts don't get used much in Winter climates. ;)

It was still the same night, my character was just like stuck on freezing lol
I'll build a second fire next time though and see if that helps.



Yeah... I am only level 6 so it is all I can afford :(
What is a fast way to level up so that I don't have to deal with crummy thatch?

[jhulett]

Yeah spend your time sitting next to fires ... awesome

Craft build and kill as much as you can ;-)

WHY would you need that warm of a heater for to "consider his point". You'd be melting metal at that point.

A decent (say a $40 oil filled one) space heater (which isn't the same as a fire, but that's what people are going off of) is FAR MORE than enough to get a single room (including a moderately sized living room) uncomfortably hot during the middle of the night in a place cold enough to have full ground coverage of snow. It won't keep an entire house warm (unless it was an exceedintly small one), but a room it can do quite well for. If you haven't experienced this, you've probably had the room open to other rooms (or the outside for that matter), not had the heater on high enough, or had too large or tall of a room.

The alpha argument is a good one though.

The only good argument I can think of for the sake of realism is that the primative home you have isn't insulating enough. Most of us don't have experience with these kind of homes to say, but if you could keep the wind out, I think you could keep a small shelter comfortable with a decent fire.

Make clothes and a torch as well. Put the clothes on, hold the torch, and stand next to the fire. Tada! No more freezing!

1) Get Hide armour asap. It's warm.
2) Put points into Fortitude. Really.
3) So many people run constantly in the game, which is mind-numbingly stupid, so don't be one of these people - it burns up Stamina and you then burn through food.
4) Carry a torch for a bit of extra warmth.
5) Even better, Tame a Penguin, because these radiate warmth.
6) Eat cooked meat rather than berries.
7) Don't sit next to a fire doing nothing - Craft things to level up.

Best advice of all is spawn WAY down South. The beaches are pretty mild there.

just freeze and die several times to get to that point of hanging around a fire to not die. AWESOME
