I returned to the game at the end of this May after a year away from it, my tiny base was taken over, but then fortunately abandoned, so when I logged in I was completely naked amond the ruins what my base formerly was in the middle of a Cold Snap. When I left previously, the temperature mechanic was not yet in place, I was unaware of its existence, but I was still able to craft enough clothes by collecting spider webs, dried snake skins and crow feathers.
I was able to stop hypothermia at about 70 points, I don't remember clearly, and only went to Providence after it stopped rising to accelerate its decrease inside a building.
I think the mechanic is completely fine, considering, that a warming at fires mechanic is underway. Maybe the description of the debuff icon should contain recommendation to seek shelter in Providence buildings on the later stages, but that's all.
If people will be able to warm themselves at fires, then I think the effects of hypothermia can be made even more severe.
