Karuboo Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 It would be great to get small bars or some kind of indication as to where we are before freezing and overheating in winter and summer. As well as the meter falling back down when we stand near a fire pit so we know when we can move on. I find myself paranoid of leaving my base because I'm unsure if I've had enough fire.

Strangerdanger101 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 There are already mods for this, so no. They work a bit differently then what you suggest though Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/34462-visual-meters-for-freezing-and-overheating/#findComment-447906 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrotoss Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I support this as I see little reason for it not to be other than the fact it will take some of the risk challenge away.

simplex Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'm not a celsius person though anyway. If you're so picky about it, can't you just add 273.15 mentally?

simplex Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Possibly. Not really picky, i just dont know what most of Celsius means. 0°C: water freezes 100°C: water boils 0°C: Wilson freezes 70°C: Wilson overheats That's pretty much all you need to know. (though realistically 40°C would be more than enough for overheating) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/34462-visual-meters-for-freezing-and-overheating/#findComment-448380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer320 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Lol, I'm not a Celsius person either, but it's handy to see the range of when you start to get frostbite (5) then freezing (0) in the winter and overheating (65, I think) and stroking out (70, I think). Only been thru 1 summer so far and it's kicking my butt!!

Karuboo Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Ah thanks, I've tried out the mod. I do hope that Klei does incorporate something like this in the future though to the vanilla game.

MilleniumCount Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Ah thanks, I've tried out the mod. I do hope that Klei does incorporate something like this in the future though to the vanilla game.I don't think they will. If they think it was needed they had added it in the first place. But they want to use as few meters as possible. That is the reason for the triggered lines and the cold/hot-animations plus the freeze/heat effect. It's a design decision which is made to keep immersion high. Players are supposed to get the information through observation. And since there is already a mod which covers this, players can use that instead.
