This mod modifies the values of clothing items to make them more realistic with a 15°C body temperature hardiness.

The mod is meant to be played with a 15°C body temperature hardiness, which I think is a reasonable point at which the character should start wearing clothes. If played with a better hardiness (i.e. 10°C, 5°C etc), some clothing items will get too overpowered.

I adjusted the warmth values as they make sense to me, primarily by buffing the overcoats. Feel free to change the values to your liking in the patches.json.

 

The changed values are (1.3.0 changes; 1.4.0 changes; 1.5.0 changes):

Reindeer herder fur coat - 25

Fur coat - 16

Warm robe - 8

Reindeer herder collared shirt - 5

Knee-high fur boots - 3

Fur-lined reindeer herder shoes - 4.5

Different types of Nadiyan long boots (beekeeper, blacksmith etc.) - 1.5 2

All shoulder mantles, ponchos, robes that look warmer/more covering - 1.5

Gonna try this out in my Snowball Earth world, thank you!

Levion, May 6th at 5:35 AM

How well might this work with Hydrate or Diedrate's cooling to deal with hotter temperatures, or Immersive Body Temperature's overheating in the summer?

@Levion: How well might this work with Hydrate or Diedrate's cooling to deal with hotter temperatures, or Immersive Body Temperature's overheating in the summer?

I haven't played with these mods myself, so I'm not sure. But after taking a quick look, Immersive Body Temperature has a winter clothing multiplier, which makes fur clothing 2.5 times warmer. Together with my mod, items like reindeer herder fur coat would have a warmth value of 62.5, which in my mind is too much. As for Hydrate or Diedrate, I don't see anything clashing or overpowering at first glance - should be fine. I'd say, just try them together in a test world and see how it feels to you.

Updated to 1.22! Lots of new clothes covered.

Soory, Apr 23rd at 4:35 PM

@Finwe Thank you so much for adding Nadiyan clothing! I always love having more clothing options :D (Sorry, I didn't see your response earlier ;-;

Finwe , Apr 11th at 2:12 PM

GlytchMeister Thanks, glad you like it! As far as I can tell, Dressmakers would be fine if it didn't rely on Tailor's Delight, which changes a few warmth values. You can try Simple Tailoring as an alternative, but it doesn't cover everything that Dressmakers does. Wool & More adds new clothing items with too low warmth values for my system, but otherwise works. As for ensuring balance and compatibility with other mods, I'm afraid that's where my primitive modding skills fail me. I would need a more experienced modder to lend a hand in developing this mod:)

GlytchMeister, Apr 5th at 8:47 PM

I'm so glad this mod was made, the 0C thing struck me as utterly bonkers (I know Seraphs are not technically human but still).  How do you think this meshes with mods like Wool & More, Tailor's Delight, and Dressmakers?  Any chance you could be convinced to have a look and take a stab at ensuring balance and compatibility?

Thanks a bunch for your voluntary contributions!

Finwe , Jan 29th at 9:36 AM

westerplatter Thanks for pointing it out! Added along with hunter boots at +2.5°C

Pantirbis, Jan 25th at 10:29 PM

Please add "Wool lined knee-high boots". Those vanilla boots are expected to be warm, but with your mod they only give +1.5°C, less than regular boots which give +2°C.

SilverValkyrie, Jan 12th at 6:11 AM

Wup Wup thank you so much 


Finwe , Jan 11th at 3:58 PM

Soory So... I said I wouldn't do it, but then I got invested in trying to figure it out, and I ended up doing it:D There are still some items that might need some tuning, but I got most of it covered.

Finwe , Jan 4th at 9:17 AM

Soory I'm glad you like it! Unfortunately, I don't have Nadiyan clothing in plans. I have no other modding experience, and there's a lot of Nadiyan clothing which would require a lot of trial and error. However, if you have some specific items in mind (e.g. I believe the coats are the most important to be buffed), I can try adding them. Broadly, I think the mod will stay like it is right now - I made it because I needed better craftable clothes for my homo sapiens worlds with reduced body temp. hardiness.

Soory, Dec 13th 2025 at 7:53 PM

This Mod makes my colder playthroughs so much better, thank you! Do you think you'll add Nadiyan clothing to it? 

El_Neuman, Oct 24th 2025 at 2:11 PM

I’m waiting for someone to make the whole temperature system in the game logical, because what we have now is just awful😭

Finwe , Oct 24th 2025 at 7:40 AM

Mod updated! Also, some warmth values adjusted - see description.

Finwe , Sep 24th 2025 at 1:49 PM

Malikyte I haven't tested in 1.21 yet; I'm still playing the previous release. However, it should be safe to test and remove from the mods folder if it shows any errors on world startup, or if the warmth values are not as expected.

Malikyte, Sep 15th 2025 at 1:03 PM

Does it still work in 1.21?

VaelophisNyx, Feb 25th 2025 at 6:16 AM

keep in mind you can acclimate to much colder temperatures quite easily IRL (Cold -> Hot is easiest, Hot -> Cold sucks but is doable). It's not exactly a subjective stat as well, since it's meant to represent the temperature at which you can't keep homeostasis, and would start to lose body-heat faster than you can replace it

Finwe , Feb 22nd 2025 at 3:06 PM

It's quite subjective indeed. I changed the wording in the description a bit to better reflect the original point of creating the mod - I believe the character should wear some clothing at 15C. However, when setting the in-game temperature hardiness to 15C, the clothes aren't sufficiently warm anymore to protect against colder winter temperatures (like -20C).

NightLight0x07CC, Feb 21st 2025 at 11:54 PM

I wanted to comment because the person below said 15C was too soft a hardiness. I live in a desert and I consider room temperature to be 25C. I think 20C is cold and 15C is FREEZING, so I always end up setting my hardiness in the game to 15C.
On the flip side I think that 40-45C is reasonably tolerable daytime temperature and when I played Rust I was frustrated that characters start getting heat stroke at 35C xD

I would not survive long below 15C, my fingers and toes get cold at 20C while I am wearing clothes and gloves and start getting stiff any lower than that.

YOHarbinger, Feb 20th 2025 at 3:58 AM

15C is absolutely too soft a hardiness, most temperate climates consider 15C to be room temperature and comfortable. 10C is around where we actually begin really suffering, around 50F or so, but a little bit of clothes is pretty well and comfortable. I'd personally have this balanced around a hardiness of 10C or 5C.

AHelplessBaby My bad you're right, I was trying to sift through all the hypothermia articles and still managed to copy the wrong thing lol.

AHelplessBaby, Feb 19th 2025 at 9:00 PM

LunaGore That's Water temperature, not air temperature. Like for being in water. Also body temp is way, way higher than that. Hypothermia is defined as having a core body temp of lower than 95f.

Finwe , Feb 19th 2025 at 8:56 PM

It's the minimum outside temperature you can survive without wearing any clothes. I think it's quite reasonable to say you wouldn't survive long in weather under 15C.

LunaGore, Feb 19th 2025 at 6:06 PM

EndlessOats If we're talking body temp and not outside temp then 60F/15C is when the body starts to freeze.

> 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit can cause death in two to 40 hours. 50 to 60 degrees can cause death in one to six hours. 40 to 50 degrees can cause death in one to three hours. 32 to 40 degrees can cause death in 30 to 90 minutes.

EndlessOats, Feb 19th 2025 at 5:42 PM

15C is 59 degrees F man. If you're freezing at 59 you need to eat some vegetables
