Blankets / Space blanket / emergency blanket

[degude 133]

Hi,

 

I know blankets have been mentioned in some topics, but with the new "body temperature" system, blankets got a new meaning.

 

I think everyone has experienced the trouble of getting cold in the beginning. Especially with no fireplace, the cold can become a serious issue.

 

So my suggestion, you can take a blanket and cover yourself in it and sit somwhere to get warm. While doing that you warm up slowly, but you can't do anything else but eating and drinking.

 

There should be different kind of blankets, with differnt up- and down sides:

- Emergency/space blanket: Warm up quickly, low amount of inventory space (1x1), water resistant, highly visible, noisy

- Wool blanket: Warm up quickly, more inventroy space (2x1), not water resistant, visible depending on color, not noisy

- Down comforter: Warm up very quickly, much inventory space (3x3), not water resistant, visible, not noisy

 

 

 

Space/emergency blankets:

I remember back when you'd laugh at heat packs, then Namalsk was released... HEAT PACKS ARE LIFE.

Craft space blanket from tinfoil (one can also craft a tinfoil hat).

Nice idea. Maybe have it force the player inti a sitting position, but can still use hands.

Right now they only exist in the mod. Plus I described a different functionallity (what my topic is about). I don't like the idea of, "use it -> cure immediately". Plus, they are reusable ;) so unlike the mod, there wouldn't be a need for them to spawn everywhere, they could be more rare.

Also a nice idea

 

Additionally:

Space / emergency / heat blanket (whatever they are called) should fit into the first aid kid, that's where they usually are (in real life).
