1. The quickest way to reheat yourself is to start a fire and put a couple cans in it. When they are red hot put them in your coat and pants.

2. Do not play a survival game if you do not want to spend time dealing with surviving. Temperature is very important when in a survival situation and needs to be part of a survival game.

The cooling down seems strange, you should have "rapidly cooled off" after getting soaked.

warming up for 45 minutes on 4 fireplaces is too much time spent "surviving".

30 seconds in rain = 45min to 1 1/2 hours in a house with a fireplace.

I found the rain really well, as only the view was bad and the sound was harder to handset or locate through the sound of rain.
With the temperatures you can see how servers have the most disconnects and with the fewest connects by rain.
This is where the fun goes past/lost for the reality simulation

you must be doing something wrong. it has never taken me 45 mins to warm up. maybe, being generous, it takes 15 mins with 1 fireplace. sticks vs. logs have a diff temp it seems

I'm not sure if it's a glitch or not, but when I'm cold I start a fire and there are no messages that I am getting any warmer. If I wait around long enough it will eventually go away and then after the cold status is gone it says I am starting to warm up, but not before.
