shouldnt Wool Sweater since its being made out of 9x pure wool (and only purchasable for 900s) have a higher Thermal Value then 5?

Fair point. Not a bug but will be changed next restart.

Are lit torches and miner hats not supposed to have any effect on thermal?

The current balance is way too harsh for new players. This is not exactly a bug but needs rebalancing.
I made a new char and raised it from scratch. While I somewhat enjoyed the "do not freeze" game it looks like a certain death for a new player.
There is a coldsnap on the noob island but without freezing effect, which is good at the moment.
On the mainland starting clothes provide little thermal value and a new character freezes very quickly. I did not even bother to build a house because time needed to get carpentry and build a hovel is far longer than time to freeze.
To survive I used one of Providence buildings and used hit and run tactics to get enough reeds to make jute clothes and enough grass to make haybales. Snake skins seem out of reach for a while.
Squatting Providence houses while having a leanto miles away does not fit the storyline very well.
Catching a squirrel is a PITA because of slowing effect. Only after getting hideworking and earmuffs I got enough flexibility to dare for a longer trips while still slowly freezing.

Conclusions:
- delay slowing effect at least until below 92 F (now it negates wander mode effect)
- noobs need a crappy method for unfreezing without having a house. Right clicking a fire and "using" it to unfreeze (at least partially) fits the storyline.
- building without a lit stove should provide less heat (unfreezing slower) and the building in Providence near the port needs a stove to be lit and used by noobs.
- optionally increase amount of reeds in noob island and add a step in the tutorial to craft jute pants. Spawning some cobwebs in logs/stumps would help too. Actually noob island could have a little lower temperature to justify crafting additional clothes.

I mentioned that here as well, If you would like to see other people's opinions and how they focus on me being "stupid" click the link.

Regen stays halted until you reload, at least the one time i warmed up.

Dried fish that were left on the drying racks for a day or two reverted back to 0-1 gluttony values Also they seem horribly weak even for a nearly 2 kilo fish, poultry bits are better all around.

No icon for shellfish traps.#sadlife

though id drop it here

Shepherds Pie is Baked in a Baking Oven rather then in a Stove or Cooking pot, but the unfinished product is "uncooked Shepherds Pie" shouldnt it be "Unbaked Shepherds Pie" ?

the item "Tenderfood Refresher" from the noob pack of the store does not have any description when hovering over it, can we have one for new players pls?
