The Temperature System in Once Human: Surviving the Harsh Elements Once Human
Mastering the temperature system is crucial for survival in the harsh northern environment of “The Way of Winter.” Equip yourself with the right gear, prepare resistance-boosting dishes, and use strategic tools and facilities to thrive despite the punishing climate.
Following the October 17 update, Once Human introduced a comprehensive temperature system that applies to all gameplay scenarios. “The Way of Winter” is set in the far north, where extreme temperatures make survival even more challenging. However, this system does not affect players participating in the Evolution's Call, Manibus, and Prismverse's Clash scenarios. The temperature mechanic consists of two core elements: temperature and resistance. Temperature is influenced by various factors including region, weather, time of day, environment, and specific items. Resistance, on the other hand, dictates how much a player can withstand harsh temperature conditions. The higher your resistance, the less affected you will be by extreme heat or cold.
Blogs Example of Temperature and Resistance Interaction
Ordinarily, players become Cold when the temperature drops to 10°C or below. However, with 10 Cold Resist, 10°C will feel comfortable, and only when the temperature falls to 0°C will players experience the Cold state.
Blogs The Consequences of Temperature Exposure
Without sufficient resistance, exposure to extreme hot or cold temperatures will cause body temperature to drop or rise, leading to harmful effects. Prolonged exposure can worsen these effects, potentially resulting in death. Returning to a moderate temperature helps stabilize body temperature and cures related illnesses. Consuming specific dishes can also help restore body temperature or alleviate illness.

Blogs Gear
Crafting and Repairing Gear: Post-update, animals will yield various types of hides that can be used to craft gear with distinct temperature resistance properties. Crafting tops or pants using these hides can greatly aid survival in the Snowy Realm. The material for repairing armor has also changed from rawhide to a new item called leftovers, which can be crafted at the Supplies Workbench after learning the Leatherworking Memetic.
Weapon Updates: Certain weapons, such as the Torch and the Frozen Northern Pike, now have temperature effects. Holding these weapons will alter the environmental temperature, and using them in combat can influence the target’s temperature.
Blogs Dishes
Crops grown in the Snowy Realm offer resistance to extreme temperatures. Consuming Sunny Ginger, Polar Pepper, or Spike Fruit will boost Cold Resist, while eating Mint or Ice Melon will increase Heat Resist. Dishes prepared using these ingredients offer stronger resistance effects and can even change body temperature and cure illnesses.
Blogs Tools and Tactical Items
New Tools: The Memetic system in “The Way of Winter” includes tools and tactical items designed to counter extreme temperatures. For instance, Heatium can be crafted at the Supplies Workbench to enhance Cold Resist, while Frost Grenades can significantly lower the temperature within their blast radius.
Updated Items: Tactical items like the Molotov Cocktail and Thermite Grenade have been updated to greatly increase the temperature in their impact areas. Players are encouraged to experiment with various methods to manipulate temperatures.
Blogs Buildings and Facilities
Temperature Control Facilities: Through Memetics, players can unlock facilities that regulate ambient temperatures when supplied with adequate fuel.
Updated Existing Facilities: Structures such as bonfires and burning oil drums now have temperature effects, adding another layer of consideration during gameplay.
Blogs New Temperature Control Facilities
Cooler: Lowers the temperature in the surrounding area.
Warmer: Raises the temperature in the vicinity.
Simple Vintage Stove: Can either raise or lower the surrounding temperature depending on the fuel used. The effect ceases when the fuel runs out.
Blogs Additional Factors
Body Size: Variations in body size will affect temperature resistance in “The Way of Winter.”
Dampened State: Swimming results in the Dampened state, which increases Heat Resist but decreases Cold Resist.
Ziplines: These can be used to traverse challenging terrains.
Blogs Conclusion
The temperature system in Once Human adds a significant layer of strategy and immersion to the gameplay. Understanding how to manage and counteract extreme temperatures can mean the difference between thriving and barely surviving. By leveraging gear, dishes, tools, and facilities, players can ensure they are prepared for whatever the environment throws their way. Embrace the challenge and make the most of your journey in “The Way of Winter.”
