It’s unreasonable to dismiss an entire update or DLC as bad just because you misunderstand or misuse a single mechanic.

The heaters are useful for managing the new cold trait introduced in this DLC, which slows down all dupes tasks. They should be utilized early in the game to increase efficiency.

You shouldn’t place a heater randomly and leave it on constantly. Instead, use it strategically in the early game near digging tasks, sleeping chambers, or research rooms.

This is stupid and nobody asked for it. It is a fundamental change to the core gameplay. I can deal with the dups being cold, fine, which is still terrible, but the changes surrounding it are even worse.

This patch ruined this game for me and I probably won't be playing it anymore after thousands of hours.

Monetization ruins EVERYTHING it touches. This could have just been an expansion for people who wanted it, but instead they had to ruin the base game and spaced out too. Stupid. Horrible.

Can't you just exclude the Frosty DLC content from your game and play as normal?

I like the update, but my dupes environment reactions in the other asteroids outside the frosty pack is a little annoying as they seem to be cold when they shouldn’t be or toasty. There needs to be an adjustment so their reactions are more consistent across all the asteroids.

Yeah something does seem amiss with it atm.
Had a dupe digging through one of the temperate biomes (Pips/Arbor Trees) at ~30-35°C, trying to reach the Geothermal Station thing that had an unfortunate abyssalite break next to it and was into the 100s of degrees. Dupe was occasionally going back to stay warm...

Dupes now can't stand a drop of water under the bed and they are shaking from cold regardless of temperature - use mesh tiles in a bedroom to prevent this.

The dupe temp mechanic changes are backported into base game. Any liquid now gives them a chilly surroundings malus when they walk through it.

Also, they do go out of their way to warm up at heaters, even while in atmo suits. (I find that a bit of a bug, since atmo suits should disable that behavior.) I did have to block the heater keeping my Slicksters at 65'C away from dupes with door permissions. You'd think that the surroundings being 65'C would be warm enough to not need heaters though.
