Ah nice, thank you Greiger. One more question. I keep getting messages of "Suddenly you're covered in ectoplasm", the wiki has no info on this.
You've got teleglow, either from an artifact, teleporting, or an eye. It should wear off on it's own eventually.
I actually have the problem too. I started in spring, though it started happening in summer. The bug has been around for so long I'm starting to think we just gotta live with it. Either nobody wants to fix it or it's cause is so obscure and convoluted that nobody can.
It's more that there's enough bugs and other personal projects/improvements that everyone is always doing something. If a bug never catches the eye of a dev, and it's a fairly harmless bug such as that one, it can go for a long time without being fixed. That said I've added it to my list at least, so it should get fixed eventually once I get through the stuff in front of it.
It started happening in summer, after I had to strip naked for the 107 degree weather (lol. That barely happens farther south, let alone with the coast mitigating temperature. But anomalies... I guess), so I guess that's a thing. I would be less frustrated if it didn't seem to purely make cooking a food spoilage process with no indication of rot on the same uncooked food.
Yeah the high/low temperatures seem to be revealing some weird interactions with the rot functions. It's on my list now, though somebody else might get to it first.
As for the temperatures themselves, the problem seems to be mainly caused by use of the record high/low temperatures as the defining numbers for the scale rather then the averages. Now that we've got an idea of what the problem is, it hopefully shouldn't be too much longer to iron out the problems and get it fixed.
