You're Cold

Part of the Scavengers Survival Series for Valheim.

You're Cold makes exposure matter. The goal is not constant punishment; it is to make fire, shelter, dry clothing, daylight, and sensible travel feel valuable.

Latest update — V1.1.7

• Cold pacing has been softened so ordinary rain, night travel, and boat journeys are less punishing.
• A lit hand-held torch now provides practical travel warmth and helps hold the player in the normal Warm range.
• Body Temp HUD fixes improve the panel and status-text presentation.
• Cold damage now respects Valheim god mode and cannot kill a player while god mode is active.

What it adds

• A 0–100 body-temperature system.
• Cooling from wetness, swimming, cold weather, freezing weather, night, Mountains, and Deep North exposure.
• Warmth from fire, shelter, dry conditions, and safer environments.
• Stamina loss at severe cold and mild freezing damage only at the lowest temperature.
• An optional low-temperature breath warning.
• A compact body-temperature HUD with presentation fixes.

Controls

• F9 — Write diagnostics to BepInEx/LogOutput.log.
• F10 — Toggle the cold system for the current session.
• Ctrl + F3 — Hide or restore the mod HUD along with Valheim's HUD toggle.

Configuration

• General > Enabled turns the cold system and its penalties on or off.
• HUD > ShowTemperatureBar hides only the Body Temp HUD.
• HUD > HideHudWithCtrlF3 controls whether Ctrl + F3 hides this HUD.
• Audio, temperature rates, biome effects, shelter effects, and penalties can all be adjusted.
