drecko dies after loading saved game

Its body temperature is 12.7, it needs at least 15. It's just freezing to death

Edit: Eh, I looked at the air temperature in the tile it occupies. The actual drako is exactly 15 degrees. So I guess it get's below 15 a few seconds after the game is loaded.

This might be the case, thank You, molsen234!

I never encountered such situation since it was my first gameplay in cold scenario. Although, in my opinion, critters shouldn't die like that, all of the sudden. If we have warning about creature starving, I would expect similar, about creature freezing to death...

That would indeed be nice! You're not the first to wish for that: 

 

That was in the common forum, so maybe the devs have not seen it there.

If they add a warning, that would already help. But it would be nice to see an indication on tame critters like on plants that don't have their growth conditions met. And perhaps a "Freezing/Hot" indication in the status box of the critter.

By the way, your stable is too large to count as a ranch, but that is not the reason why you didn't get a warning.
