Minimum Comfortable Temperature
Minimum Comfortable Temperature is a stat: Below this temperature, characters will be unhappy. Significantly below this temperature, they will develop hypothermia and frostbite and eventually die. Its minimum allowed value is -2,000 °C (-3,568 °F) (effectively limited to -241.2 °C (-402.2 °F)). Its maximum allowed value is 2,000 °C (3,632 °F) (effectively limited to 16 °C (60.8 °F)). Its default value is 0 °C (32 °F).
Base value
The default base value for humans is 16 °C (60.8 °F). See their individual pages or Min Comfortable Temperature for all other creatures.
Offsets
The only offsets for the base value are the cold insulation offered by apparel and genes.
Apparel
Note that for sleeping pawns their apparel has no effect!
The insulation offered by a piece of apparel is dependant on its quality and material.
- See each apparels page for numbers for all kinds of materials and levels of quality.
- See apparel for how it is calculated.
- See Insulation Factor - Cold, Insulation - Cold Factor and quality for the individual elements of the calculation.
Genes
- Cold weakness gene : +5 °C (9 °F)
- Cold tolerant gene : −10 °C (18 °F)
- Cold super-tolerant gene : −20 °C (36 °F)
