Maximum Comfortable Temperature
Maximum Comfortable Temperature is a stat: Above this temperature, characters will be unhappy. Significantly above this temperature, they will develop heatstroke and eventually die. Its minimum allowed value is -2,000 °C (-3,568 °F). Its maximum allowed value is 2,000 °C (3,632 °F). Its default value is 26 °C (78.8 °F). Higher maximum comfortable temperatures are better.
Base value
The default base value for humans is 26 °C (78.8 °F). The collapsed table below shows the minimum and maximum temperatures of all pawns Any unique temperature mechanics will be described on their individual pages.
Pawn | Minimum | Maximum | ExpandType |
---|---|---|---|
- ^1 Note: Despite having a minimum and maximum comfortable temperature defined, mechanoids are unaffected by temperature extremes.
- ^2 Note: Unlike most pawns, insectoids do not experience hypothermia and death from low temperatures and instead experience hypothermic slowdown.
Factors
There are two ways to increase a pawns maximum comfortable temperature, being Apparel and Genes. Note that insulation from apparel does not affect whether a pawn "Slept in the cold/heat" mood penalty, but the effects of genes do.
Apparel increases maximum comfortable temperature by its Insulation - Heat which is modified by its quality, and if stuffable by the insulation factor of the material from which it is made. Apparel will never decrease a pawns maximum comfortable temperature, so it is not necessary to remove clothing to make a pawn more comfortable. See Insulation for further details.
There are 3 genes that affect a pawns maximum comfortable temperature:
- Heat weakness: −5 °C (9 °F)
- Heat tolerant: +10 °C (18 °F)
- Heat super-tolerant: +20 °C (36 °F)
Analysis
The absolute highest a human's maximum comfortable heat can be, comes from these factors:
- Default value: 26 °C (78.8 °F)
- Legendary hyperweave tribalwear: +25.7 °C (46.3 °F)
- Legendary phoenix armor
: +180 °C (324 °F)
- Legendary hyperweave cowboy hat/shadecone
: +23.4 °C (42.1 °F)
- Legendary hyperweave face mask
: +0.936 °C (1.7 °F)
- Heat super-tolerant gene
: +20 °C (36 °F)
Total: 276 °C (528.8 °F)
Pawns and items will spontaneous ignite above 235 °C (455 °F), however, limiting the actual maximum temperature that a base can operate under below this value.
