Temperature

Temperature is a core survival mechanic. Every region in the game has a base temperature, which is then adjusted by various environmental factors to determine the Ambient Temperature your character experiences.

Ambient Temperature is influenced by:

• Time of day
• Weather, especially during active Storms
• General Environment, such as being indoors, outdoors, above ground, or below
• Heat sources: including burn barrels, stoves, and campfires
• Region Maintenance, which improves overall climate control in structured settlements

These conditions combine with a region’s base value to produce the final Ambient Temperature at any given time.

Here's how the temperature values translate:

Temperature Value	Description
5 or higher	Hot
1 to 4	Warm
0	Comfortable
-1	Chilly
-2	Cold
-3 or lower	Freezing

How Temperature Affects You

Your character's temperature is calculated by comparing the current Ambient Temperature to your total Cold Resistance.
This includes:

• Equipment that provides cold resistance
• Skill-based Cold Resistance
• Temporary effects from food, drinks, abilities, or buffs

For example: If you're in an area with a temperature of -4, and you have 100 Cold Resistance (+10 Cold Resistance) and +30 Cold Resistance from gear, your total Cold Resistance is 40.

40 ÷ 10 = 4 -4 + 4 = 0

Your character temperature would be 0, or Comfortable.
