do you die from being too cold?

Recommended Posts

You can get sickness which reduces your health by 2000 and make you constantly cough.

If it gets colder, you shake constantly untill it gets warm.

But you can never die from it.

Although i don't know what would happen if you get sickness when you have blood under 2000

It gets so bad that you pretty much will give up and respawn. I gave up when my blood was 4k and the shaking was horrible.

My temperature icon is flashing.

Does the temperature increase when i begin to run or is this useless?

How long does it take to rise my temperature to normal level when sitting at a campfire? Minutes? Seconds?

Heatpacks does not work at all, they are completely obsolete.

But sit by the fire in about 1 minute, and your coughing stops. This could also be a burning oilbarrel.

I'm pretty sure infection can only reduce your blood down to a certain point. I'm not 100% sure but I thought it was 6,000.

So if I spawn into a server and I'm in the middle of the ocean, I can't die, I have to swim to the mainland? Damn it, I've spent 15 minutes in the ocean waiting to die when I could have started my massive journey to the coast

I've had good luck with campfires. When I start to show signs of hypothermia (shakes, basically) I build a fire wherever I am and I'm steady and on my way in under a minute. I assume there are some hidden numbers at play here, so if you're colder longer it might take a while. Also, being inside buildings and vehicles will fix you up, though they take longer than fires do.
