Heatpacks.

[gretikuk@hotmail.com 0]

Just a small suggestion, but from the description it sounds like the heatpacks in the game are based on the type that can be reused once they have been heated up, which reverses the chemical reaction and returns the contents of the heatpack to it's liquid state.

Would it be possible that after using a heatpack, an "inert" heatpack is left in its place, which could then be heated back up at a fire to be used again at a later date?

I like this idea.

heatpacks i've seen could be reusable after putting it in a boiling water.

Maybe you need fire and both water to reuse?

anyway i like this idea

Needing water too would probably be overkill. Although I guess it could be another use for the ubiquitous empty tin can, fill it with water and then put it on the fire with the heatpack in it.

Sitting by a fire heats you up anyway. Reheating a heatpack would be redundant.

Heatpacks are for players who haven't got all the tools to make a fire or who are in a hurry. If you have the means and the time to build a fire, you don't need a heatpack, reheated or otherwise.

Do they not make the reusable packs you used to sit on? They had some sort of granules in it that would heat when you moved it around.

I've played the game for 2 weeks now and i've never been in the position of needing to warm up... never even used a heatpack.

I think heat is only a problem if you go swimming right?

I had a problem at night in the rain one time. I think Rocket said he stillneed to fix the temp thing.
