DEVS: Fortitude what does it do please explain haha

[Kromster]

Ok so i have over 130hrs played on this game i absolutely love it and im still learning so much and figuring things out, but for the life of me i cant see what the stat foritude does for me? I can see what every other stat does after i put a point in them, eg HP goes up 10 or Movement speed when i spend points in it i feel faster, so i ask you please how can i tell what Fortitude is doing for me!

Id like a straight answer or some kind of hint from the devs or team behind the game please, not to sound rude but i dont want answers from people just guessing i have 10 points into Fort i dont know if its weather or if i dont get drained as fast i mean how can i tell? i still get frozen when my tribe mates do with them not having any points into it ><

Anyway would appreciate a reply from a solid source cheers lads keep up the great work cant get enough of this game <3

fortitude prevents you from knock out

[foreverwise1]

biggest things, takes longer for you to be "knocked out", weather doesn't bother you as much.

[Kanye Of The West]

Not too sure myself but usually fortitude translates to defence, so my guess is pumping points into fortitude means you'll receive less damage from dinos/players

Also explains the shield symbol it uses, but as I said, not too far in it myself, maybe someone else can clarify?

Then the description on Fortitude, needs to be changed, as it states other things as well (Which when tested; it doesn't seem to actually do or it is very much non-noticeable)...
Hence the confusion among many people in regards to this..

Yeah its for torph... That you can take to the bank don't think a "solid source" or dev really has to come and visit each and every one of these simple easily answered by most the player questions. Not belitiling it but its a simple question with simple answer.

[Kromster]

So Zalzany if i put points into it and have someone shoot me with a tranq the tranq shot should do less to me the more Fort i have? if this is what i think you're saying then you are wrong mate ive done numerous tests and yeah this was one of them thank you tho for your simple post

[Zourin]

Doesn't affect Torpor stat, so it's hard to justify saying it affects it. The only visible change is a trivial modifier to your temperature tolerance.

[Reaganomicon]

Well, FortitudeTorpidity(Increase|Decrease)Multiplier is a thing. Is it in game? Does it do anything? Who knows!

[Kromster]

exactly which is why i would love a quick reply from someone on the team behind the game to let me or everyone know cheers <3

One thing it does directly affect is your hyperthermic and hypothermic resistance.
It raises each by 1 per fortitude point.

Yeah, I'm at fort 20 and still have a hard time telling a difference in game vs the temps. Anyone have any observations on various amounts having an impact on the temps?

[Digital Aura]

you'll still be overheated or cold...but the hit to your health will be negligible with higher FORTs.

Look up the word "fortitude" that should explain itself

i have tested it with a friend he had 10 points i had 6 both of us ate a nark berry and he ended up with less torp then i did, i think it was 4.8 vs 4.6, so 2 levels in it had very little effect but it still had an effect. we both wanted it for the weather resistance anyway

Seems to do very little for the investment. I would rather see fortitude made more effective (vs environmental factors at least) over seeing armors get buffed vs environ to make the stat more worth it and/or to reward those that bump the stat.
