I've debated making my whole base sub-arctic.  I can make parkas and shirts and whatnot and just be like "fuck it, we're super eskimos now".

[Farce]

Shit, I've only managed to make 2 parkas and 2 dusters for my guys so far, and it's like mid-fall already.  I guess one of the duster guys'll be alright, since he's hot-skinned?

I apparently need to learn howe2 temperature infrastructure, also.  I've got heaters AND coolers in individual rooms and it's pretty expensive.  Also doesn't let me tunnel super deep into the mountain like I usually like.  I guess vent-corridors could help with that.

One thing, though - I tried venting 2 coolers into my central room from the 2 individual bedrooms I'd built, since I figured they couldn't be that bad, and the central room had a cooler cooling it.  Central was like way bigger, after all.  NOPE.  It got to like 120 F in there.  I don't know how those two rooms exhausted so much heat.  The tiny embrasure-fortification that Central was exhausting into got a lot worse, too, hue.

Coolers -appear- to activate when their target temperature is triggered, which will reduce the temperature towards the target temperature, but will also produce the same heat as if it were super active.  So it may reduce the temperature by 2 degrees, and then raise the other temperature by 10 degrees.

Cooler chains are fun though.  Each room pushes heat to another room, which pushes to another room, which either leads outside or just makes an oven room.

On the point of oven rooms too!  Heat death takes too long, tested with prisoners.  Furniture and loose items mostly ignore temperature, except things that rot.  You can't catch things on fire.  I could only get up to ~250 degrees F though, even with like 20 heaters set to 1,600 in a room with ~100 floor tiles.  Insulating didn't provide any improvement - a second ring of stone walls provided no difference.

What about freezing them to death?

[Aseaheru]

Well, thats accurate. ACs make tons of heat.

Not tested yet, but I was in a colder climate and most people show up wearing thick clothing, so they'd be more resistant to cold, and heat was my first choice of weapon.  Also, heat is closer to magma, so, y'know...

I do hope I can find Prepare Carefully again.

For 8? I can't stand not bringing certain things.

Like Parkas. They may or may not now be vital methinks.

I believe you can strip people who you have captured.

[Aseaheru]

You can indeed, but hes talking about testing it on invaders as they invade.

[Mictlantecuhtli]

I'm mostly seeing if you even can *kill* via temperature :x

[KingofstarrySkies]

You most certainly can. Heat stroke is stronk!

[Aseaheru]

The patch note video thing showed people getting killed by cold.

[Girlinhat]

I also baked someone at 250 and killed them.  It took surprisingly long though, as they had to progress through heatstrokes levels...
