I thought having the heatstone in your backpack amplifies the amount of heat you receive from it

That never really worked with me... hmm...

I checked the wiki, and that appears to be correct. How weird...

i thought that too cause i was seeing the light from the heatstone

I had problems with heatstones before and my bug thread never got a response.

honestly the game is so full of bugs that I only play DST now, in Don't Starve Together there have been no issues for me while in the singleplayer game there is a bug every other step I take.

You need to have atleast 2 Stones in the backpack, and being close to a raging campfire for it to over heat you.

well that could be an way i made 2 heatstones one i keep it in an chest so i swap them when one is gray

Nowadays, I don't even use Heat Stones much, a bit because of that. They're just not very worth to make, in my opinion.

well i decided to use them you know because i just wear an hat and that's it because i always want to keep all my inventory and backpack items with me so i can gather too i can make winter vests but i don't even use them when i do make them

you mean the heat stone is bad for you it actually seems very useful for me if i'm not using the breezy vest?

I don't use heat stones because I make sure to have winter clothes before the cold comes. You can survive a whole winter with just a Beefalo Hat (which is quite easy to get). And by next winter you will have the Hibernation Vest from killing Bearger (which is equivalent in insulation to a Puffy Vest, along with a reduction in Hunger). So I usually spend my 1st winter with a Beefalo Hat + Breezy Vest and every other Winter after that with a Hibernation Vest + Tam-o-shanter. These items have enough insulation to keep you warm the entire day without ever having the need for a heatstone.

Summer is even easier with Eyebrella + Floral Shirt, easy to get and no stone required.

Or you can have a Snow Chester and have your head and chest slots free.

Well that's the beauty of this game - everybody can play it differently :). I personally dislike chester and mine always ends up just sitting at base all game long (Unless I have to go collect those 500 logs that Bearger farmed up for me, then I take chester along). I don't find the head and chest slots to be of much use either, my inventory is always empty (all I have on me at all times are twigs, grass, and logs) so no need for a backpack.

To me the constant switching of thermal stones in and out of ice chester is annoying. I see it as a way to get through summer if you didn't prepare for the heat ahead of time.

so you hate chester and heat stones oh well i use more the backpack so i even gather more items honestly if i would only gather what you would gather i would starve to death

It's not that I hate them, I just don't do things that are unnecessary or time consuming. After you set up a nice base you really don't need much to survive and explore. When I go away from base to explore or gather something I have with me:

>Twigs >Grass >Logs >Log Suit >Tentacle Spike >Few Meatballs(depends on how long I decide to be away from base)

Along with a Walking Cane in my hand slot and any clothing necessary to survive the current season.

That leaves a ton of room in inventory for whatever I went out to get. In my opinion inventory space is only valuable at the beginning of the game before you have a base built and are trying to hoard everything up and bring it to one place to start building and storing. After that you don't need much room as you will no longer collect everything you see in your path. If you have problems managing inventory space you should plan out ahead of time what you're going to collect - so one day you go out and do nothing but chop down trees, next day go and do nothing but farm spider silk/glands/meat, another day go and focus on only collecting reeds, then rocks, etc and so on. If you try to go and just collect everything you see you'll end up not accomplishing anything and will have trouble managing inventory space.

well that advice helps me a lot but you kind of ignored my other question but thanks anyway :)

(Didn't really read the other replies but) you can try using winter clothes such as a winter hat or rabbit earmuffs? It usually helps keeping the heat for longer.

yeah i usually use an winter hat but it doesn't help much i had an 31% it didn't help me much though.In day 28 deer clops came luckily i killed him but he kind off ripped my sanity and i died because of the shadow creatures lol!,but  i had an meat effigy in my base so i kinda evaded that,i suppose,i remained warmed in winter with just 2 thermal stones and an beefalo hat yeah i had one breezy vest in my chest which i didn't use,i always end up with full inventory and i have to store a lot of it to remain with some space where i can store my stuff.And winter hat and rabbit earmuffs don't provide much warmth overtime so i always use an beefalo hat instead.

This is why Wilson is my favorite character. That beard insulation + Beefalo Hat/Tam-o-Shanter makes the cold a total non-issue. You can even use Bush Hats during Winter without freezing to death immediately. The Bush Hat is probably the most powerful item. Just hide and let Pigs/Bunnymen/Rock Lobsters/Beefalo's kill all enemies while you avoid combat. 

Another item you want to make soon is a Tent. Provides a big sanity boost, healing and warms you up completely. Once you have a Silk farm you can make tons of these and then you just need to worry about a good food source and you're set.
