How exactly do the numbers in the various temperature tags work? As far as I can tell, working from the melting and boiling points of silver, each degree Celsius is 1.75 in the game's designation, and absolute zero is at 9570. This seems crazy, of course. Is that really it, or is it some nonlinear scale, or what?

10000 is at freezing. Other then that it uses fahrenheit. Yes you can have temperatures below absolute 0.

as far as I know, it's the same as the 2d version which you can find info about on the wiki archive. There is some good info in the discussion log too.

for the lazy:

Temperatures below absolute zero are for simulating abnormal heat gradients in your magical magical world.
