Temperature is an aspect of life on the station that many people don't think about until it kills them. Almost always you will be kept at a comfortable temperature thanks to [[Atmospheric Technician|Atmos]], but things can and do [[Traitor|go wrong]]. You can check the surrounding temperature with your [[PDA]]. All temperatures are recorded in Centigrade. | Temperature is an aspect of life on the station that many people don't think about until it kills them.

High temperature can occur for a few reasons. Typically it means there is a [[fire]] somewhere. You will personally overheat if you are fat and overexert yourself. You will be warned that you are burning alive by your sidebar, and the message "You feel a searing heat scorch your lungs!" | High temperature can occur for a few reasons.

==Cold== | ===Fire=== | ||
Fire is hot. People know this. You can be set on fire under certain circumstances, such as a crazed [[assistant]] drenching you in welding fuel and lighting you with a cheap lighter. If you are on fire, your temperature will rise and you will take constant burn damage. Fire is signified by flames all over your character's body. You can put yourself out by pressing the [[Resist]] button, causing you to drop on the floor for a few seconds as you roll yourself out. [[Fire extinguisher]]s, showers and the VOID OF SPACE also put out fires. | |||

In space, no one can hear your teeth chatter. Space is very, very cold, and going out into a vacuum will cause you to die of freezing before you die of depressurization. This is what makes spacewalks so deadly, even if you have internals. Warm yourself with a hot drink or just returning to a part of the station with air. You will be warned of cold by your sidebar, and the message "You feel ice-sickles forming in your lungs!" | In space, no one can hear your teeth chatter.

*[[Chapel|Coffins]] and [[Locker#Lockers|lockers]] provide some protection from the coldness of space. If you're lucky, your murderer will stuff you into one before launching you out of a mass driver, giving you time to call in and report the attack. | *[[Chapel|Coffins]] and [[Locker#Lockers|lockers]] provide some protection from the coldness of space.
