Temperature
Temperature is a core survival mechanic. Every region in the game has a base ambient temperature, which is then adjusted by various environmental factors to determine the 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.
| Description | Temperature Value |
|---|---|
| Hot | 5 or higher |
| Warm | 1 to 4 |
| Comfortable | 0 |
| Chilly | -1 |
| Cold | -2 |
| Freezing | -3 or lower |
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: Cold Tolerance
- Temporary Effects from food, drinks, abilities, or buffs
Example: If you're in an area with a, amnbient 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.
