Hi guys. New player trying to give this game a chance. Tried to avoid cold snap by building a fireplace. Didn't have enough phlegm. Saw that blackberries increase all humours by 2.5 each. But when I ate one, nothing happened. Repeat several times. Am now frozen. What gives?

You have to feast them. There is a fork icon under your biles that will put you into feast mode.

For the frozen issue you will have to spawn a alt and thaw the character or get someone to come thaw you out.

Dallane; I think he's referring to not having enough current biles to do the actual act of constructing the fireplace. If you're eating, and your phlegm isn't refilling, then that's strange. I don't know how freezing works to know if the drain is significant enough that it can nullify regeneration, though.

Ah ok. I got confused with this then.

Thinking maybe he didn't glutton enough or wasn't feasting.

I've honestly never frozen so I can't comment on if it would slow or stop biles regening.

Nevermind, I just checked the "Weird Happenings" topic and see that humours don't regenerate in the cold. It would have been nice to be notified of that when trying to eat, although honestly I don't know what else I could have done.

This game is certainly not for the feint of heart or casual player.

P.S. to Dallane: I actually did try gluttony, but I couldn't do anything else with the fork cursor, and when I clicked to get rid of it, my humours went back to what they were before.

Yes, it stops your biles from regenerating after a certain point.

Build a woodpile, a tinder, light the woodpile and Burn pine cones and hold them. That requires very little biles.

No the tooltip hints at this and in a not so vague way. Read a little more critically as they pop up as they act to warn you of these things. Just because you dismissed it or paid little mind doesn’t mean it is the mechanics fault.

The tooltip for blackberries (still) says 2.5 to all humours, and nothing about not working in the cold. (It does say something about reducing some cherry/blueberry icon by 50% with a 50% chance in gluttony mode.)

When you first encounter the cold a pop up box appears giving you lots of little tidbits of info and advice to overcome whatever it is you’ve just encountered for the first time. You can find these tool tips for future reference after they’ve appeared in the bottom right menu.

If you’ve still no idea what I am referring to then you definitely clicked past the box entirely without reading.

"You feel your body temperature dropping as the icy winds penetrate to your bones. Hypothermia causes your cells to stop regenerating and your limbs to stiffen as your body begins to shut down. Get inside or put on some warmer clothes."

That one? Yes I saw it. Still nothing about food not healing.
