v.243 cold ass with fire

[nicko]

Thought i try and get warm built a fire inside a pot belly stove. My cold temp would not even move down. very odd. I also was not thirsty or too hungry. This happened in sandbox mode. v2.43. I was even crouched down but still no effect. eventually i just became an icecube.

Will try to post a screen grab next.(below)

Maximum temperature bonus of a fire is +20°C (hardwood fire). If there is blizzard outside and you don't have good clothes, then single fire may not warm you enough.

Try building two fires

thanks will try that next, survived much longer next sandbox game. making sure i dont go out in really cold weather. get best clothing i can find etc. though still ran out of food 3 days. caught some fish but they didnt' last to long.

If you are in a fishing hut even with a fire going, you can still freeze.

The Feels like temperature needs to be above 0 degrees Celsius before your cold bar will begin to go down. Also each wood gives a different amount of heat off and takes about 10 mins in game to reach that maximum temp.

Another thing I noticed form your screenshot is that your clothing doesn't seem to be the best, this will help with your Feels Like Temp as well.

I had a recent game where I was in the stump clearing clear cut area where there's an old ravaged shed with a stove in it. With a huge storm outside I built fire there but still freezing. Built a second fire and then it was plenty warm. It takes a lot of work. The game seems to have gotten a LOT harder lately. Lack of food, clothes especially and a lot of aggressive wolves and too many storms. There is no chance in many cases to survive even with optimal strategy in Voyageur and Stalker levels. You need a lucky start!
