The funny thing is when I remove from my torso items I wear: flannel jacket, high-volume rucksack, ulitily vest, and kevlar-vest, warmth of torso goes back to normal level. Wearing them again drops my warmth again. Axe ring holster I wear too does not seem to have any impact on warmth though. If I wear travelpack from my car my torso goes down, same with sling pack from car. Wearing a pair of cut-resistant arm sleeves drops my arm warmth. Wearing filter mask over my mouth, on the other hand increase my mouth warmth.
Is it a bug in game, or is my save game somehow broken?
I’ve got wet feet and legs. If you were sleeping bag that is nearby your feet and legs get considerably colder that without it. If you spawn towel, and dry yourself. just after drying, all body parts are getting much colder. Temp shows -18C in UI, and it takes few turns to Temp in UI show +11C and warmth getting back to normal. It’s fresh master with your changes.
And loading same save in 12e8c9b84945abcee1a5a1a45e966a243935d695 (the one before all those changes) brings warmth back to “normal” level.
I have the latest experimental (10863) and I think I have the same problem as op. My legs are insanely cold, and get warmer as I take off clothing. Has nothing to do with being wet, at least with me.
Ok so there were multiple bugs:
First drench capacity was set to 1 so when your toso reached 40 wetness the game thought you were 4000% wet and applied cold penalty accordingly
Second there is a typo that makes you wetter each time you’re supposed to get dryer leading to infinite wetness
