Asparagus Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I was messing around (DST:ROG) and started in summer... When the temperature got warm, I equipped my hat made of straw and parasol made of potpourri... keeping to the shade of the trees as to cool myself down... I am Wigfrid btw... Mid-summer came and I was in my hobo-camp and no other viable cooling mechanism is available aside from cool clothing and the tree's shade... Morning came and it was hot... I stuck to the shade and waited to get cooler before mining again then go back to a pine tree for more shade... I had not built the giant thermometer yet so I didn't know the current temperature but usually around this time, it would have been very, very hot... Under a tree... I was cool enough and was still under the shade just to get even cooler... just for good measure... To pass the time, I played with the emotes... I */bye*'d 3 times, each as a fist-threat and a fourth one as a wave good-bye... then I */dance*'d then */happy*'d to dry my pits... then I thought I'd */joy* to catch a breeze but while mid-air, I was suddenly experiencing heat stroke! O__O Even though I was under the shade, I kept getting hotter and hotter (Wigfrid still had the in-shade animation)... I then proceed to leave the shade... which didn't help and proceeded to hide under another pine tree of the same height (the 4-log tree level). It took a while but I stopped receiving heat damage and eventually cooled down... So is this a real thing or am I just experiencing more green mushroom related anomalies? O__OBut I suggest you try it out first... O__O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiddyGuy Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 @Asparagus, Well they do say moving helps keep you warm I think? xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dipps Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 So is this a real thing or am I just experiencing more green mushroom related anomalies? O__OYeah, about that, I recommend you look some more into that!http://puu.sh/hxADN/fb0ca92ad3.png Sometimes the world temperature slightly changes just enough for you to gain enough heat while freezing to make it stop for only a few seconds, then you freeze again. Emotes have nothing to do with it! It also works with summer, where temperature decreases just enough to give you a moment to breath.Emotes also don't have temperature-related functions in LUA. So that kind of seals it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sindex Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 When it gets about mid summer the whole “hiding under a tree from the heat,” does not work that much anymore. It a mechanic that has been in there, since RoG first came around to Don't Starve. Hence why even with cool clothing, I keep a heat stone on me at all times. Either standing next to an endothermic fire or shove the stone into a fridge will bring the stone's temperature down relatively fast. So that way I can explore for a good portion of the day, without worrying about overheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that way I can explore for a good portion of the day, without worrying about overheating. Well yeah but I went and created a new world and started in summer so I didn't have a lot of options to make cooling items aside from clothing and apparently setting almost all resources including clockwork monsters to "less" didn't help O__O (I thought I would just rely on tumble weeds XD The map was so barren.) Started in summer and all I had was clothing and limited resources to make endothermic fire pits and camp fires O__O But yeah... Emotes also don't have temperature-related functions in LUA. So that kind of seals it. OK, but wouldn't it make an entertaining mod though? Drying your pits with emotes and/or keeping warm by running in place... reminds me of Bear Grills... and his push-up after diving in a frozen river... o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are "realism" mods for singleplayer Don't Starve, like thirst and stuff, so why not stamina? Running for a long time would increase your temperature but also deplete Hunger faster. Maybe the same with chopping trees or mining the whole day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
