Summary

This mod replaces Vintage Story's default temperature system and expands it into the other half of the climate spectrum: heat. You can no longer just head south to avoid harsh weather. In warm climates, the sun can wear you down, wetness can help or hurt depending on the season, and wind can make the difference between comfort and discomfort.

Dress appropriately, look for shade, stay near water when you can, and don’t underestimate how quickly a hot day can become a problem.

Extreme temperatures can be rough, but there are ways to deal with them.

Heat ☀️

Heavy clothing is a disadvantage in hot weather, so keep it light when you can. Going without clothes entirely is not a great solution either — you may end up with sunburn. A hat helps.

Armor can be useful, but avoid overdoing it.

Humidity can make or break a day. Beware hot & foggy weather!

Cold ❄️

Fur clothing is the best way to protect yourself from the cold.

Watch out for water, rain and wind! Windchill is a real problem. Keep dry whenever you can. 

A simple shelter is enough to give some protection from wind & rain. You might want to insulate yur rooms to warm up, though.

Recover from the freezing outside near a fire or in your home. Preferebly both. Time to build a cozy fireplace!

The Elements 🏞

Wind, water, rain, fire and shelter can help you burden you depending on the weather. Take a good look outside and consider the seasons to dress appropriately.

• Walking in water causes you to get wet now!
• Swimming is a good way to cool down in hot weather, but long swims can have dire consequences.
• Fire can be a good way to warm up in winter but don't stay too close when you're already comfortable.
• A cool breeze is a relief from the heat.
• In sunny weather, a break in the shade of a tree or a hut can help you cool down.
• Wind & wetness together are severely punishing. Try to stay dry in windy weather!

You can recover from the elements by being in a room, seeking shelter from the sun beneath a block or trying to warm up near a heat source. You can't freeze to death while sleeping.

Swimming, walking in water, burning or being near a hot heatsource causes your body temperature to change faster!

Configuration ⚙

This mod attempts to stay close to what the vanilla game could have. So the vanilla config is used to determine this mod's behavior.

Body Temperature Hardiness

The body can self regulate temperature to a certain degree. The vanilla setting 'Body Temperature Hardiness' compensates for up to 12°C cold temperature and 6°C hot temperature when set to 0°C. Lower values compensate for more temperature.

Use this setting to make temperature management easier or harder.

Harsh Winters

In vanilla it determines if the player can receive damage from freezing. This mod expands this behavior so the player can also take damage from heatstroke.

ImmserviceBodyTemperature.json

{

// Set to False if you don't want windchill to be double wind & wetness modifiers and increase temperature change rate. Default: true
"HarshWindchill": true,

// Set to true if you prefer to use the vanilla cold mechanics. Default: false
"VanillaCold": false,

// Use this to change which temperature characters in your world feel best in -30 is for arctic weather, 10 for tropical climates. Default: 0. Recommended range: -30 to 10
"ComfyTemperatureOffset": 0,

// Starting a new game with this mod can be a challenge if you get unlucky weather at spawn. Set this to true if you want to spawn with cloth in condition 40% - 80%. Otherwise set to false. Default: true
"StartWithBetterCloth" : true

}

Mod Integrations

Hydrate or Diedrate

Keeping hydrated in warm weather can cool you down by up to 2.5°C.

HoD equipment cooling effects are used to determine how much cooling your clothing and armor gives.

Disclaimer ⚠️

This mod is an early version and work in progress. Thus, possible incompatibilities with other mods have not yet been detected. It should be safe to add and remove from existing game files but I can't give guarantee that no damage can occur.

If you find any issues with the mod please post them in the comments or issue tracker. I will gladly assist!

Known Issues 👀

The temperature display in the status dialog sometimes flickers to a lower temperature.

Boarding a raft from the water instead of dry land will cause the player to receive wetness as if his feet were in water.
