Temperature and rotting
« on: December 18, 2006, 10:19:00 am »

I'm pretty sure this must be on teh forum somewhere, but I couldn't find it while searching so here goes:

When the ambient temperature is low the rotting process should slow down.  I.e. in freezing weather corpses should not really rot much until taken inside.  

(Yes, I know this probably makes the game easier, not harder :P)

Edit:  Similarly, rotting should be faster on particularly warm/humid maps...

Indeed.

And maybe the amount of vermin and other infestations also should vary with temperature. If it doesn't already.

It does, somewhat.  You'll see very few vermin on Freezing maps because most of them have the [NOT_FREEZING] tag.

Yeah, this squares with reality -- and once you bring things inside, where it's around 55F, things would rot as they do now...  which is over many months in a strange way with being placed in a pile stopping it completely.
