Sheltering under trees should stop you getting soaked

As per title thread really. Taking shelter under large trees should stop you becoming wet/soaked. I guess this would have more benefit when weather and stamina come into play more.

I believe it does, in previous version of the alpha there used to be a txt message indicating whether you get wet or not. It would fluctuate in forest ares ("you're getting wet" .. "you're no longer getting wet")...

not just "fluctuate"

It was a real chat-spam³ xD

As far as I know (haven't played in a couple of updates) it already does.  It gets a bit spammy with the messages when you're running through a forest in the rain.  If you just hang out under a tree you'll stay dry however.

Hmm, strange. It was pouring down yesterday on a server and I was sat under a big pine, yet was still getting soaked...?

You probably were already soaked so then sitting under a tree doesn't really have an effect on you. There is no "getting soaked", either you are soaked or you are getting wet. Getting dry takes a while though.

Having a fire nearby seems to help you get dry faster. This makes me want to try lighting a fire directly under a tree and see how difficult it is with the matches...
