Diseases
Immunity System:
live in a cold climate and keep getting pneumonia? well fear not we now have immunity
Basically if your house is in the desert or in cold lands, your immunity will build to any disease that is prevalent in that area, till you are not affected anymore. go out abroad though and you will still be affected by diseases you are not used to.. contracting those will effect your immune system even for the diseases you may be immune to.
Vaccinations:
To increase immunity to one particular disease you are able to craft vaccinations to use on yourself or other players. to do this just craft a Syringe, you can then craft a syringe with a curative potion you have made to turn it into a vaccination injection for that disease.
Just use it on yourself or another player to increase the immunity level to that disease.
Biological Warfare:
Viruses have long been a terrible weapon that can bring despair and misery to a foe, by using a syringe to extract blood from an infected player you can then place it in a glass bottle or imbue an arrow head with the lethal concoction, by putting the two together in a crafting bench.
This will give you a splash Disease vial. throwing at the enemy or shooting it into their castle has a chance of infecting players caught in the splash hurting them instantly and giving a chance of disease infection.
Or it will give you a diseased arrow which when fired at an enemy gives a chance of infecting the victim if the arrow pierces their skin
Protect your troops by vaccinating them against biological attack.
Note not all diseases can be placed into thrown vials or put on arrows..
Temperature Effects:
Heat - can cause heat stroke - fatigue, confusion
Stay cool by wearing less in warm climates, sheltering indoors in desert sun, not holding hot items such as lava buckets, and going out at night.
Ways to cool down:
Cold - can cause hypothermia - increased chance of pneumonia, freezing slowness, blindness
Stay warm by wearing more clothes in the cold, lighting campfires, carrying hot items, staying out of water, and stay indoors during storms and at night.
Ways to get warm:
Your body temperature will be affected by the ambient temperature around you, this is calculated by factors such as biome, rain, armour, day/night, indoors/outdoors etc
Get below 1 degree ambient and your body temperature will start to decrease slowly, get below -5 degrees ambient and body temp will decrease fast. This wont affect you until you reach a body temperature of -40 at which point you will start to become ill, more prone to cold diseases and start to seize up and get frostbite.
You can get better simply by warming yourself up - get into a warmer area and your body temp will increase back to normal. (around 0 - 5)
Don't get hot though or you will start to suffer from heatstroke.
