Original Body

About the PR

Space burns your skin from the ionizing radiation and intense light. Also, your blood boils. Radiation would be too difficult to implement and generally not a good idea, so i decided to just do burn. The reason why it's under barotrauma instead of general space damage is because even if you're not in space your blood still boils from lack of pressure (aka barotrauma)

Makes space a tiny teensy little bit more dangerous by 0.5 damage increase per second along with making treatment more complex considering there is another added damage type.

• tweak: Unpressurized areas now deal heat damage along with blunt.

is heat the same as cold damage? if it is, okay. if it's not, should be changed

[stellar-novas]

Applying any form of heat damage is odd. The only damage players should really take is asphyx and blunt due to barotrauma.

Vacuum insulated thermoses exist for a reason, radiative heat transfer is very slow.

The only additional damage types that could exist are heat and radiation, and those should be based on line of sight to the star. For context, space-wizards/space-station-14#25770 and space-wizards/space-station-14#26478.

I'm saying we close this, remove cold damage, and add solar damage soon ™️

just gonna mark this with discussion, 🤷

Mistaken

I'll agree with Nova that this isn't a needed change, and also, that's not even how space works either. Space isn't hot for any conventional reason, at least not in any reason that could be abstracted away as "Heat damage".
