Maximum fire temperature, extreme forge heat!

[Ssschah]

So I was playing around with how hot things could get in TLD yesterday. I did a coal run and piled coal into the forge until the temperature maxed out on Desolation Point in [spoil]The Riken[/spoil]. The fire appeared to cap out at 11 hours 59 minutes and 360 degrees Fahrenheit. What was really funny though, was the temperature I felt standing next to the forge with fully crafted clothing, etc. I managed to get up to 148 degrees Fahrenheit, and I started to wonder, as silly as this sounds, if there will eventually be a mechanic where you will take damage from extreme heat?

Really loving this new area, by the way.

the issue i find with damage from the heat is at the moment i havent found a max temp for fires outdoors or indoors and even find those numbers to be strange ill have a fire at 170 and the room temp will go up , i think the takeing damage is stupid because your in a metal you know what still out in the cold so i feel the room wouldnt get that hot, however same goes with the indoor the temps need major tweaking and max temps before we even think of adding a to hot damage i think that instead to just make hydration go down. in all honesty i think before this is added that haveing fire to cure faster the hotter it is and cook faster as well should be added first

A natural reaction to extreme heat is to go away. Therefore it is highly unlikely that you will be taking dmg from extreme heat without any restraint from a realistic perspective

Yeah i agree you should be able to cure hides faster if you stick up a 5 hr fire or so.

I also think that nw weve got coal to use it would be interesting if you could ruin/melt a normal stove by raisin temp too high with coal, then you could only make a really hot fire in the forge as its designed to do so, and surrounded by a metal ship, rather than a wood stive surrounded by a wooden structure.

Just a thought let me know what you guys think

I definitely agree with fires curing things faster.
