How to maintain body temperature? | Survival The Flame in the Flood Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Get warm by the fire
The simplest and at the same time the most intuitive way to maintain body temperature of Scout at a decent level is by getting warm by the fire on a regular basis.
Thanks to this method, not only do you avoid getting cold - thanks to this, you can also dry Scout's clothes. Also, this way, you will not be forced to change worn out clothes. Flames also scare off predators.
You do not need to search for fires and you can craft one yourself. To do this, access crafting menu, select campfire and place it in a convenient spot.
You do not necessarily have to sit by the fire to get warm. You just need to stay around. The downside of this is that any rain will immediately put fire off.
Hide in a building or a means of transport
Abandoned building and buses can be found in the majority of locations. Sleeping in them, apart from affecting survival meters, also allows you to regain your body temperature.
