TotallyUncool Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 We go into our adobe castle (read: box) whenever a heat wave strikes. It has worked so far, but I think all of us has put some points into fortitude as well. If you haven't done that yet I highly recommend you do.

Rintrahhh Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Ah, fortitude...maybe that's why my adobe house works for me. My fortitude is at 40. I'm definitely affected by the heat when outside but in my house I'm fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildbill Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I keep logging in to my single player game, and dying of heat stroke after a few minutes. The other thing I've seen, is I eat the cactus sap and I get no water from it. So if I don't locate water or a water bug, I die of thirst. This doesn't seem right, should be hard, but not this hard, right? Also I get 0 water from berries. I should get a small amount of water from berries, right?

I think the berry no longer give you water. Not sure if it is a bug or a change in the game. I was dying like you in single player. I could not live longer then a minute. I just started get fiber and making clothing. got water from a bug and stayed alive to make it till the afternoon and it cooled off a lot. Now I am freezing at night and trying to stay warm. I think they want this DLC to be really hard. So all I can say is be ready for a hard but fun time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played a little this morning before going to work. There was a heatwave and I remembered that post I made and thought to verify what I posted.

SOULREAPER1621 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Does anyone know if there's a way to turn off the Heat Wave on Xbone so it doesn't even happen? I play on a non-dedicated server with a couple friends and the screen effect it causes is really annoying (especially when it gets so bright we can't even see what's on the screen) when we're just going around and goofing off.

When you say you "still have the heat wave icons"... are you referring to the dark red flame icon that denotes the "super heat" weather event, or the yellow flame icon that indicates your character being personally overheated? The red "super heat" icon that denotes the global weather event will be present regardless of where your character is standing (the weather event doesn't end just because you walked inside). But if you are outdoors during a heat wave, you will see the yellow icon showing that your character is overheating... which disappears when you walk into an adobe structure and close all the doors/windows.

Do you know if there is a way to stop the global weather event from even occurring? The moving screen and blinding sun effect it causes is very annoying; especially when playing by yourself and it lasts for over half an hour and you pretty much can't do anything because of it.

Such are the hazards of trying to survive in the desert. Although, for what it's worth, I think you might be describing the effects of heat stroke (impaired vision, character wavering in place while standing still), which are not necessarily caused by the actual weather event itself. Obviously a "superheat" weather event is likely to induce heat stroke if you're not properly equipped, but I have a character with 20 fortitude and a full set of Desert Armor, and he can survive out in a heat wave for quite a while before beginning to feel any of the effects. But to directly answer your question, no... as far as I'm aware, there is no way to completely turn off the weather events. If there were, I imagine it would be listed in the server options menu when launching the game, so you can feel free to read through the list of settings and see for yourself.

rpicardi1 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 As a new player, the only way to avoid heat stroke is to find the nearest overhanging cliff and get under it. I got lucky finding a water vein before heat stroke got severe. The temperature was registering 120*F at the time. Berries provide so little water because your water usage under such conditions are so high as to cancel out their effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackD05 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I got caught out in a heat stroke just now, and I grabbed some water jars and food to live in a nearby cave for a while. As far as I know, that's the only way to stop it. If not, then just continually drink water from a pipeline(if you're lucky enough to have constant piped water from the southern canyons like me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
