About The Pull Request
Past 1200 kelvin, fire temperature applied to humans receive diminishing returns
At 30 minutes of fire, a human is expected to be at about 6,200 k
Why It's Good For The Game
It's not really realistic that a body can manage to get up to the hundreds of thousands of kelvin, the energy just isn't there.
It doesn't even make sense that a body can get to 6000 kelvin that's like as hot as plasma IRL or something. Humans cremate at 1200 kelvin. Temperature in general should be reigned in to prevent that but that's a much larger project.
This also helps curb two issues, one being the "very high temperature reagents" exploit and the other being "shaft miners coming into medical being very difficult to revive".
Changelog
🆑 Melbert
balance: Body temperature from being lit on fire will soft cap at 1,200 K. It will still increase beyond this, but with diminishing returns. For example, at 5,000 K, fire will heat 67x weaker.
