Way to make species cold Tolerant?
« on: March 15, 2017, 10:09:23 pm »

Is their a way to make a species more advantaged into a super cold biome. I looked at the raws of multiple creatures, and found it hard to believe they could survive with the same homotherm as humans in the glacier and tundras. What makes them able to survive there, and what can I do to make my sentient people thrive up in the extremes of the world.

INSULATION would probably help.
Code: [Select]
[SELECT_TISSUE:HAIR]
[INSULATION:200]

Adjust the insulation if needed.

I'm super new to modding but the materials at least have a COLDDAM_POINT token which wiki tells me determines when they start taking damage from low temperatures.

Hmm, that is interesting. I modded a race that had a slightly high homotherm to see if it kept them alive. I had my modded Jush survive with no ill effects in the cold, but I did also mod them to wear only full coverage clothing. I might put them up in the object tester to see if they do okay.

Change their insulation, like homie said - and also make them embark more in cold regions i.e. glaciers.
