After a month and half of modding Morksel’s own game with various mods and learning about fixing mods, adding his own ideas to mods and hours of fixing stuff he present you a culmination of his knowledge – his own mod that brings back “temperature system from A16” *Hands up! – Hooray!*
Okay, not really, but it does make temperature debuffs much more deadly than they currently are in A20 (cause we all know those debuffs don’t do anything). Also, it’s not even 1:1 conversion… So what is it then you may ask?
Well, here’s how it works:
Debuffs When Your Temperature Rises
- Overheated – 80F to 95F – Player loses 1 Water every 10 seconds
- Hot – 95F to 110F – Player loses 1 Water every 7 seconds, 1 Stamina every second, and their mobility (Walk Speed, Run Speed, Jump Strenght) is lowered by 30%
- Sweltering – Above 110F – Player loses 1 Water every 5 seconds, 3 Stamina every second, 1 Health every 4 seconds and their mobility is lowered by 50%. Also your screen will get blurred slightly
Debuffs When Your Temperature Drops
- Cold – 60F to ~48F – Player loses 1 Food every 10 seconds
- Freezing – ~48F to 35F – Player loses 1 Food every 7 seconds, 2 Stamina every second, 1 Health every 10 seconds and their mobility (Walk Speed, Run Speed, Jump Strenght) is lowered by 30%
- Hypothermia – Below 35F – Player loses 1 Food every 5 seconds, 3 Stamina every second, 1 Health every 4 seconds and their mobility (Walk Speed, Run Speed, Jump Strenght) is lowered by 50%. Also your screen will get blurred slightly
So, you may notice that temperatures that debuffs start effecting you have changed, and well, he wanted to bring it as close to possible to A16 values as he thought those were fine. Still they do differ from those values a bit (For Hot effects for example triggers in A16 are at 100 – 110, 110 – 120 and 120+). He was also a bit afraid that he (and you) won’t really ever reach those temperatures in A20 so he lowered the values slightly.
If you played A16 you may also notice that Cold effects have 3 instead of 4 debuffs. Well, that is a shoutout to TFP and their simplifiying of everything /jk Or maybe not jk… nobody will ever know 🙂
Mod also changes Well Insulated perk to keep it in line with debuff changes:
- Well Insulated Level 1 – Gives you 5 Insulation (down from 10 in vanilla) and lowers Food, Water, Stamina and Health consumption when affected by Hot and Cold debuffs by 20%
- Well Insulated Level 2 – Gives you 10 Insulation (down from 20 in vanilla) and lowers Food, Water, Stamina and Health consumption when affected by Hot and Cold debuffs by 40%
- Well Insulated Level 3 – Removes Mobility changes from Freezing and Hot debuffs, lowers Mobility changes when affected by Hypothermia and Sweltering to 30% (from 50%) and lowers Food, Water, Stamina and Health consumption when affected by Hot and Cold debuffs by 60%
So, yeah, you will still be affected by extreme debuffs (Sweltering and Hypothermia) even when you get level 3 of Well Insulated perk. Lowered bonus insulation values are just so you will actually be affected by temperature lol For some reason with only 10 Insulation he needed outside temperature to drop to like 40F to get Feels Like below 60F. He like when game is a bit more punishing so he lowered that bonus insulation from Well Insulated by half.
That’s about it he guess? He hope everything works, but well, he’s not actually a modder so he can’t guarantee anything 🙁
He know people will ask about compatibility with other mods, so he’ll preface some questions with some information:
- He tested this mod with at least 60 other mods that changed many aspects of the game. He would give you a list, but he’s a bit lazy to make it so he won’t kekw
- It should work with everything that doesn’t touch areas he changed. So any Naked Trader Jen mod should work…
- He doesn’t play with big overhauls. He know, he’s sorry, but he just like making his game to his own liking and not using others vision of it. So he can’t vouch it would work with them, you will have to test it yourself and tell him what you find
- He will shoutout Dough’s Punishing Weather mod, and recommend you use that mod with this one as he use both! He really wanted to name this mod Punishing Temperatures, but didn’t want to steal his name idea so it gets a basic name
PS: He come from Skyrim modding community and he’s a supporter of cathedral modding so his code is free to use. This means you can use it in your overhaul, modpack, you can make it better or you can make your own mod based on his code he doesn’t care. He want us to build something big and great together and this small mod is his contribution to that. He guess, if you want to you can stroke his ego a bit by mentioning his name if you did use this mod for anything hahaha but you are not required to do it. If he missed anything do tell him.
The forum topic of the mod is here.
