The first thing you'll notice in snow areas is how quickly temperature drops, especially at night when it hits 32°f. You'll want protective clothing that gives at least 40% cold resistance, and the timing here is crucial your health starts draining the moment you drop below 0°c. Position yourself near but not directly on campfires when warming up, as standing too close causes burn damage while being too far won't help much. Inside your base, always keep a powered heater running and position it centrally, since the effective range is about 2 3 foundation tiles.

When moving through snowy regions, watch for those subtle temperature warnings and get ready to react when wetness builds up it'll multiply cold damage even at mild temperatures. The key timing window is right when it starts raining, you've got about 15 20 seconds to find cover or get a fire going before the cold really bites. For base locations, look specifically for dirt patches in snow biomes, they spawn roughly every 50 60 meters and give you better building options. Good to know fog reduces visibility to about 30 meters but ai can still spot you from further, so time your movements carefully when visibility drops. During radiation storms, which last approximately 3 5 minutes, you need full rad protection the moment you see that warning pop up, no exceptions. Maybe interesting
