Character Creation Bonuses

The Heat & Cold System

Staying next to Campfires, the Fireplace and a Smelter Furnace will increase your Cold Resistance and not affect the outside temperature. (Update 0.0.9.2 added the Fireplace and Smelter)

The duration between when the Temperature changes and the effects are first felt and are alleviated was increased in Patch 0.0.83.

Warning! Prepare for the Summer Heat by removing clothes in the hot Summer which will help increase the temperature limit as will some clothes that give Heat resistance to keep you cooler. If symptoms persist then use the appropriate Heat/Cold Medicines.

Freshness/Condition

Most edible items have a “Freshness” condition which will start to decay when the loot spawns in the area the character is in and is measured in days. When any Food or Drink is consumed the chance of getting an illness rises as the item condition deteriorates!

Update 0.0.8.6: Reduced the probability of getting Dysentery and Cholera from eating Canned Food

More information on Cooking and storing food is here.

Tip- Only drink Clean Water and cook food to avoid illnesses, or have a supply of Dysentery Medicine and/or Probiotics.

Trauma

Attack Damage.

Each item will have an effective treatment for the type of Trauma and some can also help reduce the effects of the next level.

Attack damage (Infected & Trauma) is mainly from Zombie combat as it seems injury from falls, falling trees and PVP just reduces Health.

“Y” heals the Trauma but the box will have text if it only reduces its effects and “N” indicates the item is not effective.
