Thermal Stones cool down quickly?

[Luis95R]

I was just playing some Don't Starve and made it to winter and realized that my thermal stone cools down really quickly compared to when I play Don't Starve Together. Is that how it's suppose to be? It only stays orange for like thirty second maximum when I get away from a fire, and then it turns yellow.

Do thermal stones work differently on DS and DST?

Yes, DST Thermal stones last longer but have durability.

Thank you so much for replying. I had thought that maybe it was a bug, Ever since I tried playing Don't Starve last year (after having played and experienced DST first) I was put off from playing by the fact that I thought the thermal stones cooling down quickly, in Winter was a bug that needed to be fixed. I feel silly now lol.

Yeah, single player thermal stones were always like that. The lack of durability makes them better for switching between a neutral and a hot/cold stone when you get back to your fire/fridge or carry an ice chester, so you don't have to wait. They are also more effective in your backpack for some buggy reason (if you put a bunch of thermal stones in your backpack they will change your body temperature much faster).
