Heat stroke problems.

[SandMan]

Starting island L7 Keep dieing to heat waves I have but all my points in fort (50 all together with vitamin bonus) and have cloth armor and wet and I still keep dieing. Have to keep swimming underwater real deep to not die. What is the point of the other level up skills if you have to put so many points into fortitude to not die from just standing around. How do I turn this off.

This was one of my biggest issues with the game. I ended up increasing how much fortitude you get per point in the settings (for singleplayer). Having a parrot sit on your shoulder (I think a monkey works too?) will help as well. I think it was around 80 fortitude where I stopped dying to it. I still get hot now and then, but I don't die to it anymore

The heat is way over tuned and is dumb imo. I started in M7, but now live in M5 currently, so I don't have to deal with bad heat waves.

If you get a diving attachment for a ship, the diving suit actually protects you from weather effects I've noticed

you really shouldn't be dying unless you're not drinking water, also get a icebox, u can pop a ice ice to increase your blue and also prevent heat damage for a time.

you aren't doing stuff to keep your stuff max and just letting it degrade.

get a Water barrel or Icebox to easily prevent heat dehydration. I never had issues when i've saildown there and I live in F1, which is way harsher then the heat. and I strip naked to prevent heat damage and i have 50 fortitude I just stay hydrated down there and never die when i'm doing maps or gathering mats.

Well wearing clothes helps you with hyperthermia so stripping down does the opposite and the heat on land is different to on boats, its way hotter on land. My water levels also have nothing to do with it. I am also on the starting island so i have no access to ice atm

[Akadai]

He's not dying to dehydration, he's dying to heat, period. Those are 2 completely different things. Dealing with cold weather is actually easier, because there's more clothing options to deal with it, as well as standing next to fire

Being naked is a bad idea as well, basic cloth armor actually helps with heat protection. As for an icebox, that wont work either, because an icebox will not function in tropic or equator grids. It's too hot for it to make ice

yes meaning they help with both. You stay cooler when wearing clothes. Even the cloth helps more with hyperthermia than hypothermia also.

I also never said they "only" help with hyperthermia you dumbass. So for one, that wasn't my statement and 2 you are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wrong about clothes helping you protect against hyperthermia. As like you said "cloths have both on them"."Cloth Armor is the first tier of armor available to players. It provides very good protection from heat and minor protection from cold". You should learn how the game works before you come out with snarky comments. Also Hyperthermia is death from heat. Cold is hypothermia if you are confused about that.

SandMan has the right of it

CLOTH armor has protection for both heat and cold. Other armor options make it worse to wear for heat. You really should read the armor stats more closely Deathy

Because of this, it is better to wear cloth armor than it is to be naked. It's that simple

I feel like maybe the word "cloth" and "clothes" is being mixed up

you aren't very smart if u think thats true - better armors literally counter their problems

infact Mythic hide armor has as much hypertheima as Fur Armor - and the fact he think cussin' and calling someone dumbarse speak highly the type of person they are.

and no each clothes might protect you on 1 type, but it doesn't mean it's the best
you can wear.

The fact you aren't even using any armor or getting any armor with "Reduce Temperature fortitude penalty speak valume as a player knowing what fortitude you need in a area w/ X armor.

Again you are lookingat the wrong stuff and if you think living off basic armor that is crafted at the start, and not getting things like a Icebox or better armors from blueprints, means you'll keep dying as a noob cause you are playing as a noob, simple as that.

Let look under an other vital thing under the armor skill tree. It's call Temperate armor - it gives more bonuses to negate armor problem, with blueprint armor, and that alone you can wear nearly any type of armor anywhere. Where you can use maybe the best armor in the game, Hide, so if you're ever on land you can fight, you take less fall damage, and have no real cons in the long run.

Now why would armor have penalty that you can get covered in other armor, it's because the game wants to to progress and force you to a understanding how it works early. Literally I gaveu onet he best counter if you wish to be a baby over armor and just eat ice, which give a buff that can max to over 5mins. And the fact you're "Dying" from heat say you're not drinking Water again, which means you aren't having open barrels to drink water as needed, which is killing you, is yourself not armor penalty and not the weather.

Again I can wear Fur armor in the damn Desert or Tropical areas without a problem, cause of all the stuff i have to negate downsides of the armor.

If you do nothing but whine and not read all the advice given and only pick out what you want, it
shows you aren't being very smart.at critical thinking.

And i'll keep repeating, If the Heat is killing you, are you drinking water? Are you making Ice you know the part of the game that is "survival" stuff you need in your area. and yes if you aren't building stuff you need for survival, and focusing other things, it means you're apart the stupid people who will die if real survival was needed.All the Heat does is Drain your water, so Drink water, get better armors then the "basic" heck get armors like hide with the reduce penalty, and get the skill tree and you'll laugh at that stuff.

Also don't stand by fire like Campfires, torches and etc that make heat, or get over yourself cause you'll then cry about the sea killing you cause how you get more neg.fortitude the further you are from land and then complain how you're always dying out at sea cause you can't keep your stats up and do the whole "survival" part of the game.

I'm the type of person who gets mad and will call you a dumbass if you start saying "think before you make statements" ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ when you are plain WRONG. The heat LITERALLY kills you. The status effect "hyperthermia" drains your health it's NOTHING TO DO WITH WATER. Now go back and read that again to get it into your thick skull. Also i'm on the starting island so ice isn't an option. Ths is reason i'm saying the game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ is because i just spawned and i'm already MELTING TO DEATH. i'm not not building things for"survival" or being a "noob" its just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ broken mechanics. Idk what all of this broken english armor ♥♥♥♥ you just spouted but i'm wearing cloth armor the first armor that is supposed to help you with heat but i'm still melting.

If your saying that i should make better armor with more fortitude against heat then ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ say that instead of chatting a load of ♥♥♥♥ about drinking water.

try wear basic cloth stuff it have some hyperthermal insulation,i think its only one of armours wchich have it full set have 60 hyperthermic or so ,ive heard higher tiers of cloth armour are even better .if u use it ,cant advice much more about instead of diiving from time :) i think making ice in tropical is rather hard ..i never tried though.
Heat need balance definitely it happens too often and we have too little methods to counter it.

Yeah im wearing cloth with no luck, I was hoping there was a way to disable heat all together. Or make fortitude count for more. Anyway thanks.

This is probably my last time I'm going to respond to Deathy's comments.

You need to keep in mind what ability a new player is going to have. To suggest crafting higher tier armor with blueprints is beyond a new players ability. An icebox isn't going to do anything until you've traveled north where it's in temperatures for it to produce ice, at which point you've reached a point to just live on a different island. He can't eat ice, if it doesn't produce ice

You keep talking about how YOU can survive the heat and because of that, you think any new person, starting out, with no skill points or blueprints can survive extreme heats. Yes, I can survive the heat too, because I've been playing long enough to be able to. I'm not about to suggest things a new player isn't going to be able to do because that's not helpful

You're in your own little world who doesn't understand the topic of this thread and I'm done trying to explain things to you. You're like a child with his fingers in his ears going "la la, look what I can do"

I haven't seen a setting to lower heat, however you can offset it slightly by going to advance settings in the singleplay settings before jumping into the game, and scroll down to player stats per level. Increase Fortitude to 2.0 or 3.0 per point (or whatever you like). I feel like the game forces you to spend too many stat points in fortitude just to survive it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weather, so this should help spread your points out a bit more

I feel the devs lack the ability to properly balance certain aspects of the game, and the weather is hardly the only thing that needs tweaking

The one reason I enjoy Atlas, despite it's flaws, is because it's really the only survival game with the ability to sail across a massive ocean

On the topic of armor with better stats, you do need blueprints and gold to be able to upgrade them after they have been crafted. You'll need to hunt treasure maps to get those blueprints. Though be warned, this is another one of those things that is highly unbalanced in terms of difficulty. Treasure maps, even the easiest ones, will spawn a horde of hard to deal with army of the damned

And before anyone suggests other forms of getting blueprints, treasure maps are the only source I have found where you can get melee combat based blueprints. ie: player armor and weapons. Shipwrecks and floating debri will mainly give structure and ship based blueprints
