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 light source that works like a fire, but cools instead of heating.
 * Eating Ice will cool you down sufficiently.
 * A Chilled Amulet will prevent overheating.
 * A Pretty Parasol  or Umbrella will also reduce amount of heat taken.

Trivia

 * Although the Heat Stone can be frozen using an Endothermic Fire, it is not a viable option for cooling down, as it will return to normal almost as soon as the player steps out of range of the fire.

Bugs

 * Using a Torch prevents overheating.
