Threats

  • Overheating causes HP damage above 70° (eventually death)
  • Spontaneous combustion - items and structures can catch fire
  • Dragonfly boss roams the surface
  • Plants wither without proper care
  • No rain means dry conditions

Preparations

  • Thermal Stone (kept frozen with Ice Flingomatics or Ice Box)
  • Endothermic Fire Pit for cooling instead of warming
  • Ice Flingomatic to prevent structures from catching fire
  • Summer Frest, Floral Shirt, or Eyebrella for cooling
  • Stockpile Ice from winter for Endothermic fires

Survival Tips

  • Stay underground in caves - caves maintain a constant cool temperature
  • Whirly Fans provide emergency cooling (crafted from Cut Grass and Petals)
  • The Eyebrella is the best summer item - prevents overheating AND rain
  • Ice Flingomatics must be fueled with fuel (Nitre, Boards, etc.)
  • Dragonfly drops Scales for the Scalemail - best armor in the game

Key Events

  • Day 56: Summer begins
  • Day ~62: Dragonfly may spawn
  • Day 70: Autumn begins (cycle repeats)
