Okay... let me start off by saying, this Temperature Value system is miserable... Now let me provide some input on how to improve it. The first way will be more along the lines of the current system, the second will be an entirely new system. First System: Okay to make the Temperature Value system better a few things can be done. You can greatly increase the Temperature Value at the start thus taking longer for you to begin to "freeze your ass off." If we don't take that approach then we take a more balancing of gameplay approach. You must add more logs and more matches, more than likely to the point they become one of the most available items in the game. Either that or make a way that flares can be used as a heat source or be used to light logs. Second System: This system is a far more aggressive approach and requires a lot of change. First off, the current system is rather unrealistic. Your body temperature wouldn't start going down under the current terrain conditions (assuming its day and not raining). Your body, in real life, goes through a process of homeostasis where it tries to maintain its body temperature constantly at around 98 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, if the system was changed so that during the day, with optimal conditions, your body maintained 98 degrees, that would be fine. And if you were outside while it was raining your temperature drop, but as soon as you got indoors your temperature began to rise again, that would be fine. Make it a REALISTIC temperature system if you really want this mod to be accurate. Maybe make it so that your body temperature starts to go down if your hungry or thirsty because your body isn't getting the proper nutrients required to maintain homeostasis.
