Hydration Loss not affected by temperature or sprinting
Assigned, NormalPublic

Description

The rate at which hydration level goes down does not seem to increase when sprinting, which is odd. Neither does it seem to have any connection to heat comfort. Realistically you'd lose hydration faster the warmer you are, but not even when the heat meter is yellow (or red) does hydration loss increase, at least not the indicator.

Steps To Reproduce

Jog - then sprint. Energy loss is increased, hydration not.

Move from normal to warm (yellow) heat comfort. Nothing happens with the rate of hydration consumption.

Hello!

Half of this issue remains in the game as of 1.28. Running and sprinting does affect hydration loss - but heat level still does not. This makes overheating (yellow heat symbol) only cause an annoying gasp and animation without actually having any gameplay significance whatsoever. On a server running summer temperatures this downplays the significance of managing what clothes you use and how to move in the heat to not lose hydration too fast. This needs to be addressed.

Shamelessly pinging you @Geez , sorry, but I'm not sure if you get a ping on this old issue otherwise...
