[Bones Johnson]

Booted in adventure mode, and seem to have started in a world where it's deathly cold even during the day, meaning there's no eating to be had. Heating up food with a campfire doesn't seem to work like heating up ice in a waterskin to turn it into water does. Going inside doesn't seem to do anything. I've not been able to find any information on whether camp fires actually heat up surroundings or not. Is this run doomed to end in starvation, and probably all future adventure mode attempts in this world, or is there a way to make food edible?

Thanks for any answers in advance.

what does the message say, preventing you from eating? I was under the impression food was edible regardless of temperature*

Nope, says "[x food] is too cold to eat." You can drink anything as long as it's not frozen, but not food apparently.

I have never seen that message in ten years of playing adventure mode. As far as I was aware food is always edible.

What precisely are you trying to eat?

Some butchered crab meat.

If you can find some grass, you can ignite it. I know that burning plants WILL warm up the environment. So laying the stuff down for a few ticks might warm it.

We warned: the temperature of the fire might go up to 300 degrees Celcius, and the temperature of the surrounding 8 tiles might to up to above 100 degrees. Takes a while though

Thanks. Hopefully that'll work. Any idea if camp-fires generate heat at all or are they basically just ice-into-water devices?

They will melt adjacent snow or ice walls on the same level as them, but I don't know if that is from temperature or a hard-coded interaction, though I would guess temperature.

[Salmeuk]

any chance you could post the screenshot of the message? and maybe the temperature at time of notification?

[Bones Johnson]

Seems creating fires by setting grass on fire hasn't helped matters, or I just need to wait a lot longer. Even standing right on top of a fire/putting something on a fire doesn't do anything. Temperature is definitely on in the init file. I'm starting to think that the world or the installation has some odd bug to it.

And I'm not sure if a screenshot will help. Just get the message "[X] is too cold to eat" and the environment is just " it is deathly cold." There a way to show more precise temperature information? I vaguely remember that looking at items in fortress mode told you temperature, but I can't find any indicator in this adventure mode save.

It actually does take a long time for fire to heat the tile, and it's possible that it being so cold will make that take even longer. I hav melted fat into grease that way, I forget how long it took but it was longer than I expected.

Why is it so cold? Are you at a polar extreme? Or is it some feature of the mod?

I've no idea. Water isn't frozen or anything so it's even weirder food is apparently too cold to eat. And I shouldn't be at an extreme. About a 3/4 down the world map.

I'll try booting it up later and wait longer.

trust me a screenshot would help. host on imgur it's free. I am deathly curious, I feel like you've hit the perfect spot between deathly cold and frozen food cold. or something
