Blanket system

[gardenleveljr]

The Blanket system would let you add blankets when you sleep on a bed or a sleeping bag. blankets improve heat while sleeping. sleeping bags can have less blankets in use. Dumb idea but kinda cool.

Not dumb at all! I've often wondered why we can't use cured hides as extra blankets on beds! 

[Kycko]

I think it will be cool if we can also make our own "bed" using some twigs (sticks), like another "beds" in caves that are already in the game.

[Matt Lomax]

I think it's a neat idea. Often think moose hides are like luxury blankets, would love to roll around on one of those, be like having a big double bed to yourself.

[Kranium]

So many beds in this game, but for some reason all the blankets on them are perma-stuck to the beds. Always found that weird.

Why do you need a blanket when you go to sleep wearing a bearcoat wrapped in another bearcoat?

Someone did suggest if sleeping indoors to remove your clothes first to save it degrading so quickly.

Does that actually work?

Whoever it was said it did make a slight difference but they got fed up with forgetting to put them back on before going outside .lol🙂 

I keep forgetting to put things on after going through waterfalls so I haven't tried it.

Sometimes I take my boots and socks off so they don't get wet, and I remember when I get hypothermia risk.

Lol! Been there plenty of times. Even on pilgrim it's not fun. I once walked from PV to broken wondering why I was overweight and getting cold until I realised I had nothing on my feet! 🙂

You spawn with 2 bear coats?

You're missing my point, though I did little to clarify it. Question being, why do we need blankets when we go to bed covered in two layers of clothing from top to toe? Surely not from day one but shortly from starting a run and onwards. A blanket mechanic would in essence grant a third clothing layer available when sleeping. So, what purpose would a third layer serve, ease life in harsh weather? Help sleeping off cabin fever outdoors? I generally agree that we need more stuff to craft, especially from hides. But a blanket system could have major implications for difficulty. How much warmer should we be able to be with a blankets, ie how much easier a game are you comfortable with?

Well body temperature does drop quite a bit while you sleep  so it makes some sense that you need extra warmth.  And those beds don't look exactly inviting. Admittedly it may make the game slightly easier but not significantly so. At least indoors anyway.

IDK about a whole system or 3rd layer. Would just be an outer layer, wrapped around you like a cape or poncho. Simple stuff. Unbelievably warm, no effort. I do this here at home, outside, with an old wool army blanket. Or I sleep under it with all my winter gear on, when winter camping. KISS

Blanket Mod from https://xpazeman.com/tld-mod-list/

Below is my personal settings. Vanilla is quite strange because you can use 3 blankets with 1°C each. So i changed it to only one blanket with 3°C. Needs 10 cloth i think.

    "bedrollWeight": 1,
    "bedrollWarmth": 4,
    "blanketWeight": 1,
    "blanketWarmth": 3,
    "blanketMaxBonus": 3
