How warmth works

Thermal insulation from every worn piece is summed; the total slows how fast body warmth drains in the cold and sets which cold zones you can enter.

Frost armor reduces cold damage and light armor reduces physical damage; damage reduction is a flat percentage on top.

Worn clothing loses durability over time and must be repaired with cloth or hide. Run out of warmth and the cold status effects set in: Status Effects

Permafrost has 82 clothing pieces across 8 slots; 63 of them are crafted at the tailoring bench. The warmest single piece is the Permafrost Boots (50 insulation) and the best-armored is the Permafrost Boots (50 frost armor). Wearing the best piece in every slot (Permafrost Cloak, Permafrost Jacket, Permafrost Pants, Permafrost Boots, Permafrost Gloves, Casual Backpack, Chemical Heater, Metropolis Scarf) totals 255 insulation, 270 frost armor and 217 light armor. Each piece page shows its slot ranking, wear rate, repair cost and where to loot or buy it.
