Shopping list for surviving summer [duplicate]

Things that let you stay cool while moving:

Melon hat - slows overheating

Straw hat - slows overheating

being wet - slows overheating

Parasol or umbrella - slows overheating

Staying under trees where possible -slows overheating

Chilled Amulet - no overheating, must be micromanaged or you freeze

Ice Cube hat - no overheating, makes you wet

Thermal stone that has been placed in either a icebox or near an endothermic fire - no overheating till it runs out

Eating ice -lowers body temperature Using a luxury fan -lowers body temperature


Summer is the same is winter: going away from base is hard due to temperature. Being stationary is easier, but boring. In my opinion, the ice cube is the way to go.

Lawton gave a good list of things that help. Let me add some advice:

Prepare your base, just as you do for winter.

  • Make sure you have a science machine & alchemy machine

Get some much needed items

  • Gears, for an ice box.
  • Ice, atleast 10. Put it in the ice box.
  • Gold and stone, for the ice cube and the endothermic fire pit.
  • Gather enough rocks (atleast (2+5)*3 = 21) for the stationary endothermic fire pit.
  • Grab some nitre while you're there.
  • A thermal stone is recommended (as is for winter). Put it in the ice box.

Secure a food supply

Summer, as winter, disables certain things. Grass & twigs will wither.
