Ice Hole Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 While inside a cave you can run around to increase your temperature by one degree Celsius. It needs further testing but you might be able to run around and also warm a small area to further increase temperature. Once a wind hits you the bonus is lost. This was noticed quite some time ago (six to eight months, I might have commented on this in the test branch) but the warmth bonus had a short duration and also was one degree. Now the duration is longer. Burn calories for warmth. But I have not seen mention of it in the change log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Pete Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Probably a bad idea to do that anyway. Running makes you sweat. Sweat goes cold. Now you've got an icy layer betwixt skin and clothes. Ick. Maximum points for posting a Robocop clip though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you've got an icy layer That is why clothing with proper layering should be introduced. I used to cross back country skiing. Climbed steep terrain learned how to use klister wax and found the climbing skins interesting. The point is all that ascending is a work out. The first layer allows moisture to escape. Something non cotton. Wool works because even wet it keeps you warm. Polyester works as well. The moisture just needs a path to escape. The jacket was a shell that had vents that I could open and close. Even just opening the front zipper works. The moisture needs to escape. The ride down required a warmer jacket. This was in -20 Celsius prairie weather. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_skins edit; In my earlier days before becoming informed I tried to ski using a parka. The damn thing froze semi solid and I took it off placed it on the ground. It stood straight up, self supported. The closest thing to compare to a frozen jacket is a wax jacket.
