Biome Temperatures!

hihibanana · 2018-05-30 02:49:57

So I noticed that when you're naked in the desert, it is as if you're in the savanna or grasslands naked. The desert should be an extreme, just like the tundra. As such, I think the savanna should be a hot biome! One where if you're naked, it's as if you're in the grasslands. And if you're naked in the desert, it should be like being naked in the tundra. I think this would make the experience more diverse, and allow us to take advantage of our environment.

Edit: After some research, I've found that the the savanna is actually a woodland desert biome (juniper tress) which is cold like a grassland/forest biome.

And thanks to Morti, I've concluded that a (hot) desert is actually more habitable than a cold biome due to the more extreme cold temperatures. So the desert not being full-hot makes sense.

Try going naked in a real desert, vs naked in Iowa or on your front lawn.

I think you'll find the cold far less bearable in the plain states or out on your front lawn, than you will the mild heat of the desert.

We're not plants. We're warm blooded creatures with metabolisms and we consume food mostly to maintain homeostasis. A big part of that is our body temperature, and where your average desert is maybe 20 degrees C above room temperature, your average grassland or plains drops far below 20 degrees C below room temp, especially in the winter months.

Average all things out; dates, and temperatures, in the real life biomes, and I think you'll find the average temp of the desert preferable to animals. It's the plants that struggle to survive in those conditions that animals have to consume that lure us to forests and grasslands and away from the savannas, beaches, badlands and deserts our ancestors were born in hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Ultimately, you want just the right condition. You don't want to live your life in the middle of the Sahara and you don't want to live in the taiga of Siberia. We find the middle ground. But that middle ground now includes apartments, farms, clothing, natural gas furnaces, electric heaters, and air conditioning. All things that will be simulated tech wise, in time, but for now, as naked mammals, the desert is much closer to the heated car, home, restaurant or office, where we live and work clothed, and eating hot meals.

The desert brings you at the equivalent temperature as a grassland, but on the hot side. Unless I'm wrong, the yellow-grass area is a savanna and should be bit more on the warm side (based on google searches). Either the savanna should be on the warm side, but more beneficial than grasslands and deserts (closer to balanced temperature); or the desert should be less hot, and the savanna even closer to a balanced temperature.

Right?

No, I did a trial of this and made a post about it.

Middle of the desert is twice as good (10 seconds per food meter pip) as middle of grassland, prairie, badland or swamp, all 5 seconds per food meter pip.

The desert is only an extreme if you're wearing any clothes. The snowy biome is extreme only if you aren't. I like it that way.

Ummm actually the desert is really hot even naked. you also have to be black ??? Not a good place to life.

Things have changed, and it'd be nice if they kept changing.
