HamShank Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 If it's winter and I'm carrying a thermal stone and then it goes cold and starts freezing me, does putting it in a backpack make it not affect me?

Toon64 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 If the stone is in your backpack it will affect you. I'm not sure if this works as I have yet to do further testing, but holding the stone with your mouse instead of having it in your inventory MAY prevent it from affecting you I'll go ahead and test that and get back to you. EDIT: Holding the thermal stone with your mouse will prevent it from affecting you in any way.

the truthseeker Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 When the stone totally cools, it's COLDER than if you had no stone at all. The trick is to heat yourself before getting to that state. Burning trees with torches or even fire staves works very well. (The same in reverse goes for summer, getting hotter than if you had no stone, but there's no using cold-fire burning torches, only campfires and pits and structures like lean-tos) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/39151-question-about-thermal-stones/#findComment-519301 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be too cheaty. Holding things with the mouse counts as another inventory / a second hand slot. lol get it?

Toon64 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Yeah I get it However, after testing in both RoG and the base game, I can confirm that holding it with your mouse keeps it from affecting you in any way.

hotmatrixx Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Also, (This is just my observations, tell me if I am 'wrong') I find that it will reheat / cool faster if it's out of your inventory/next to a fire than equipped. Maybe it's just me and I'm a weirdo Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/39151-question-about-thermal-stones/#findComment-520031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon64 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'll do more tests and get back to you. EDIT: I've observed that there may indeed be a difference, but if so, it is a negligible amount and therefore, of no consequence. In other words, thermal stones will not change temperature faster/slower if they are out of your inventory, unless they are closer to or farther from the heat source than you are.

I couldnt' find it in the mechanics of the .lua files either, so maybe I'm just special. But i can't read Lua very well, either.

Toon64 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Yeah, no problem It took a while to get done due to hounds and the day/night cycle showing up at inopportune times Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/39151-question-about-thermal-stones/#findComment-520063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the truthseeker Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I found the difference to be a couple of seconds, and likely to do with a few steps from the heating/cooling source. Overall, standing close to the hot/cool source is the key rather than if you are holding it or not. The other extreme is not to let it get to its cooled/heated down/up state or it's worse than having nothing at all.
