I find that wearing glasses stops me from using the hood, but I haven't tried taking them off yet.  I think it should ignore stuff on the eyes, since you have to be able to look out of the hood anyway.

Hmmm, that would be a bug if it's interfering.

How do I use an emergency jacket to warm my hands/head? Applying it does nothing and wearing it doesn't appear to provide warmth to those parts.

Emergency Jacket is completely garbage, just break into a house and find some clothes quickly

I... think that might be happening? The warmth of those parts keeps alternating between -38 and -26 every turn.

EDIT: Took of the jacket and the same thing happenes, except between -36 and -24.

EDIT 2: When I wield something, it stops alternating and remains at the lower value. So I'm going to assume it's working with some other piece of clothing I have.

It's strange that I posted the response to this after the other one, but whatever.

You definitely are using pockets on something. What's happening is that your character is sticking their hands in their pockets until they are no longer cold (just chilly) then taking them out at which point they get cold, then sticking them back in, and so on very, very rapidly. It's a weird effect that happens from time to time.

I put static NPCs on when starting the game, but kept other NPC spawning off. Interestingly my robocop is still alive and just surpassed melee 10. Anyway, there was a guy in the starting shelter, but I've found no NPCs anywhere else. Do they exist? Are the wandering NPCs only an additional danger or can you trade/quest/something with them? I figured they might still be buggy or something.

Game has been remarkably stable so far, haven't encountered any crashes or the like.

Static NPC pretty much mean "One starting NPC in the shelter".

You can trade and train with other NPCs, but they will sometime be aggressive too.

[Gentlefish]

Static also includes refugee centers.

[Tnx]

What do the NPC refugee camps look like on the map?

I guessed as much by the description and the fact it's in the starting shelter

Unfortunetely, I started getting "frostnipped" where I started and I'm a long distance from any house...

I see in the code that it adds a flat +10 for a hood and for the pockets, regardless of the warmth of the item.  Maybe it was just too cold for +10 to keep my head warm.

Not complete garbage, perfectly good rags and plastic.

You know, there should totally be an escaped lunatic start, where you begin with a straight jacket, unable to use your hands before some helpful zombie rips it apart... Emergency jacket somehow reminded me of that.

[wer6]

And have the Jacket quite a bit of protection.

Haven't run into one for a while (not since one of them got me painfully killed; I shut off NPCs for a while after that), but they're big, multi-tile buildings (like hospitals, malls, etc.).  I think they're denoted with the white #, but that's the part I'm not positive on.

[Aseaheru]

If you mean FEMA camps, its a 3x3 section of blue #'s
