Overheating

Overheating is a game mechanic found in the Reign of Giants DLC. It is the main challenge during the Summer. This mechanic functions similar to Freezing, except this occurs when you are too hot instead of when you are too cold.

Overheating can be negated by being near a sufficiently cold source, such as a Endothermic Fire.

Survival
There are a few ways to cool yourself down.
 * An Endothermic Fire is a stationary source that works like a fire, but cools instead of heating.
 * Eating Ice will cool you down sufficiently.
 * A Chilled Amulet will prevent overheating.
 * Heat Stones can be cooled by an Endothermic Fire, allowing you to take a portable cooling source as yo would take a heating source in winter.
 * A Parasol will also reduce the amount of heat you get.
 * A Straw Hat will also reduce the amount of heat you get.

Bugs

 * Using a Torch prevents overheating.
 * Wilson's Beard does not affect overheating.
