Toasty surroundings debuff might break Oasisse

[imazined]

As we all started play around with Ceres we overlooked there is an analog debuff to "Chilly surroundings" called "Toasty surroundings" that comes also with a -5 athletics. As someone who had his dupes scalding during the search for reed fiber to end the scaldings I'm concerned that this change with out cooling stations and protective gear available in the Oasisse starting biome might make this great start basically unplayable.

Klei mentioned that Water Cooler will now become cooling station in the patchnotes. I havent tried it, but that should hopefully be enough.

At least something. Now we just need dusters ...

I don't think this makes Oasisse unplayable. It does certainly make it harder. But I have done an Oassise where I had only hot saltwater and dupes for energy generation to cool it down. That was my first try there and I did not yet know that exploration is the key to make it relatively easy. Still worked. Oasisse gives you a lot more time than it looks like initially. I find that if you cut some of the starting biome, you can nicely use meal lice for hundreds of cycles if you are careful not to import hot dirt from outside. Also remember that Oasisse is decidedly not a starting scenario for an inexperienced player.
