You get Hypothermia way to easily

[Wuatt]

In the snow biome I had full fur armour on with 20 fortitude and I was hypothermic at -11 (Celsius) Which makes absolutely no sense, Hypothermia does not happen untill your body temperature reaches 36.4°C - 37.6°C, that wouldent happen untill you stood outside in -20 naked for about 3 hours. If you wear full fur armour you shouldent even get cold untill around -45°C

lolwut... I run around in the snow biome in flak and 30 Fort, with no issue... yeah food decreases fast, but I don't die or anything.

[Defektiv]

Stop telling lies about me, I have Fortitude.

I'm not sure why you think you don't get hypothermia until standing naked outside in temps cold enough to freeze your piss as it comes out for THREE HOURS.... That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard on the topic... You can get hypothermia in temperatures that aren't even freezing while fully clothed if your body is unable to regulate its temperature. Hypothermia isn't based on how cold it is outside, it is the drop of your body temperature and failure to compensate rapidly. Also time in the game is drastically scaled, you seem to neglict this very important aspect. Don't remember what it is exactly, but it is approx 30sec for an hour to pass in the game. Personally I think it is a little too lax, having experienced severe hypothermia myself in temperatures of only the low 40s (F) over a matter of only 4 hours... I think this system is fairly accurate and believable. I guess you could say it is a heated topic with me given that I almost died from someone's ignorance on the matter. People die from hypothermia every year in places that don't normally freeze because everyday people are so misinformed about the symptoms and the causation.

Take this coming from a person whose job is entirely outdoors work, anywhere from 110+ to -40 fahrenheit, you are very ignorant on the subject on what it takes a person to sucumb to the elements. It certainly will not take hours for someone standing naked to go hypothermic in -20C, you would be losing sensation in your limbs within 10 minutes. You can even start to feel the effects of hypothermia from swimming in warm water. There is no set temperature where you can or cannot go hypothermic, if your body cannot replace the loss of heat fast enough then it will happen whether it's below freezing or a warm day.

You're not factoring in the fact that "game time" moves at a MUCH faster rate than "real time." Three hours of real time takes < 2 minutes in the game I think (something like that, would need to be in game and check, but that is close). The game time (on most servers I am on) is set to move even FASTER at night, to get the dark period overwith faster (the private server I am on has it set to 2x the day time speed), so at night you would freeze to death even faster (in terms of real time) than you would during the day even if the temps were the same and you were wearing the same clothing, with the same fort.

[Diablerie]

all the outdoor ranger talk aside, try keeping fria curry on yourself if you plan to roam away from your base. I only have like 4 in fortitude and I get by fine most of the time with just fur on. There are periods where it gets too cold and that's when I usually turn to curry, however even that can't usually help me once the temps drop below 0 F. But then that's when I usually just hop my behind into one of my heated mobile dino bases heh, Paracer ftw.

you have apprentice or journeymen fur armor ?
if you have the basic engram it is why you freeze, there are ranks on item for a reason, if engram were enough they would not need ramshackle, mastercrafted etc

Except for the fact that many people may not be lucky enough to find those blueprints in loot drops.

I have worked for 6h in -20°C and it was warm because of the working cloth. The temperature thing is retarded and so are some people in this thread thinking -20°C is cold (while you are working in thick cloth).

that is the point of them being rare
engram should be the basic, nothing else
I have found primitive gear that is almost 2 times as good as engram and better than ramshackle i found later
just keep hunting the beacons and smack those caves

so ?
all devs have to do is to change -11 to -33 and ppl will be happy(it is the same cold, it will just be another number the player see)

I work through the winter in temperatures much colder than -20C with heavy winds while wearing heavy insulated suits. The effects in the game are far from exaggerated.

This is why we run improved fur armor mod on our server. Better insulation and slightly less pelts to make, with 0 metal ingot required.

Thinking we should not have hypothermia at -11 is absurd. That is fridgid.

I have full fur and 20 forti and think what I experience in the snow biome is just fine. Heck, my life is never in danger from losing health in those consitions. I just need to eat more meat.

No biggie. Certainly nothing to get upset about.

as i said it might not be -11, it is still alpha and that -11 could be a spelling error, it might be minus 40
