Summer is broken


Recommended Posts

Hi. I've got a tiny little problem with summer.

As we all know, summer is supposed to be very, very hot. Hot to the point that stuff catches on fire and burns. So...why do I lose more HP by freezing in SUMMER than in WINTER? Isn't winter supposed to be cold, and summer hot?

I can't stay in my base because the ice flingomatic makes me freeze in a few seconds (I play with Always On mod, my temperature drops 40° in less than a minute because of the ice machine) while STUFF IS BURNING right next to my base. It's freaking 70° in the game, and yet I spend half the day fighting against the cold, because cold items are so broken you have to juggle them around to keep your temperature stable! And I don't even use the thermal stone anymore, since I have to put it in and out of my inventory every five seconds. I just have the ice cube.

I won't even talk about all the crashes that happen in summer.

Seriously, I want to do some stuff, I want to fight the freaking giant but I just can't, because I'm too busy managing my temperature to avoid freezing. Summer should be about avoiding BURNING TO DEATH.

Wait what? The Ice Flingomatic doesn't have a cold aura! I don't get this...

The wiki says it has a cold aura. It's also supposed to stop plants from withering. This **** is even more broken than summer itself, it barely ever stops fires, launches snowball at nothing. I have two of them, even with just one activated I freeze extremely fast.

You know, I don't have so many difficulties to survive overheating. An Ice cube is enough as logn as you can craft and repair it.

 

And yup, Ice Flingomatic doesn't have a cold aura.

 

Yes, that's the problem. I'm in year 2, I survived my first summer without being prepared (didn't fight the giant though) because I didn't know ice would melt so fast. I went through summer with just a thermal stone, and my biggest problem was ALSO freezing. This isn't a challenge, it's just horribly annoying and feels like I'm playing a glitched game. I feel like I'm in an actually cold winter, but with fires.

Nope, I avoided even picking one because I thought they were the cause behind the freezing. Because I read on the forums that they seem to be making your temperature glitch because of a script. The only thing I have used to cool myself during this summer is the Ice Cube. I don't have any mod that changes anything related to heat, except Always On Status (which I downloaded during the first year, to see why I was freezing during summer in the first place).

Deactivating the mod doesn't change anything. I have searched a lot, and I don't know if this is a glitch but this is ruining summer so much. You shouldn't be able to freeze when it's 80°C outside.

Show me where on the wiki it says it has a cold aura.

I have 3 in one spot and they never freeze me. Plus i always have a ice cube equipped.

I think it's a glitch with the Thermal Stone. For me if I have an ice cold thermal stone equipped, the character starts freezing. Even if the only thing equipped is the stone. 

I'm thinking the overheating/freezing mechanics are still just a tad buggy because as of now the overheating seems to be pretty easy to avoid if you have an ice cube on your head.

From the wiki => "The Ice Flingomatic is a craftable structure from the Reign of Giants DLC. When turned on, it will automatically launch snowballs at a rate of 16 snowballs/min and extinguish any fire within its range -- including those of Campfires, Fire Pits, and Endothermic Fires -- as well as generating an aura of cold."

I DO NOT have a thermal stone on me. They are sitting on the ground like the shitty things they are (for summer at least), because I have ALREADY experienced freezing with a thermal stone equipped.

I am aware of the effect of crockpot foods on temperature : I have used meaty stews to stop freezing, and I didn't use any ice, popsicle or anything. I only wore the Ice Cube, no other item that could lower my temperature, no thermal stone, no food that could have an effect on temperature either.

Temperature is still buggy, but I think the problem comes from the ice flingomatic. Said cold aura seems to affect me. I'm gonna post this in the bug section and hope I can play through summer without freezing when the full game is out.
