What does the tip about dangerous temperatures mean?

[CMDR Lars]

So I've seen a tip a few times that says:

Be sure to check the temperature of a planetary body before disembarking. Prolonged exposure to extremely high or low temperatures is hazardous to your health

Does anyone know what it's referring too? Since it's already impossible to disembark in those kind of worlds, Is it only to tell you that the energy of your suit is gonna decrease slightly faster? Or do you think they were planning to allow walking on extreme temperatures planets and having you be careful about your health? Maybe having different ways of avoiding the extreme heat/cold but then, they just discarded it leaving this tip behind?

AFAIK if you disembark on dangerous temperatures your suit will consume energy and once it reaches 0 your health will drop until you are dead. You can avoid that by landing on the night side of the planet.

What about if you disembark at night, and don’t pay attention to what time sunrise is?

You'll die.

You get a warning as the temperature goes up, and then you fry.

Seems like a fair and honest warning to me then!

At the top end there are planets so hot your vehicles won't let you out.

Below that, there are planets that are dangerously hot but within the tolerance of your suit's life support.

You can disembark and walk around on these, but your suit's battery will drain quickly as it struggles to keep you comfortable and alive.

If your suit's battery runs down completely under these conditions, you'll start to take damage.

Mind you, the same thing happens when you land on very cold planets.

I mean 90 degrees kelvin cold. Instead of frying, you freeze to death.

It's fun when your ship is lit up first and you've got to run further into danger to get to safety.

But so far we've not found a lower limit You can always go out in the cold, just you battery may not last long.

It does. Only difference is there's no lower limit for exiting you vehicles, but there is a higher limit.

I've been wondering, will it let you disembark if there are places beyond your life support systems ability to deal with on the planet, even if the current location is within the safe temperature range?

And if so, do you start taking damage even with suit power on once the temp goes beyond the capable range?

 

[Sic Mundus]

I don't believe it means much. So far all I've encountered is a "Unsafe Temperature" warning when I disembark, but that's about it. You're never out of your SRV or ship long enough for anything to really matter I believe.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but that has seemed to be the case so far. Really, any adversity you might face can be negated by hopping back into your ship/SRV.

So, you can get out of your vehicle anywhere it is currently safe to do so.

If it's hot, you'll get an unsafe temperature warning when you get out. If it's really another warning (extremely high temperature?). At the point you enter temperatures beyond the capabilities of the suit you get a warning and a count down (10 secs IIRC), then you're dead.

Hmm, that's kind of disappointing. I feel like your suit turning switching to emergency oxygen to use more power to regulate temps, or beginning to take health damage like your suit's battery was depleted on a normal cold or hot planet would feel more immersive. Any planets where you can try this or videos of this countdown?

one tip for you, if it is too hot, try disembark on the dark side of the planet and vice versa

 

[CMDR Sheehy]

So, there is an absolute minimum temperature: 0k or -273 C

The upper limit for disembarkation is around 700k or 427 C. So your suit can handle a different from 21 C of around 400 degrees. Which means it can never get too cold for you to disembark. However, there are lower limits for your suit to start struggling to keep you warm/cool. When this happens your temperature marker will go red and you will get the extreme temperature warning.

It's usually the sun that does this for heat. If you get out before dawn and it's 527k, you'll be fine. When the sun comes up, the temperature will rise very quickly. If you can find shade, it will drop the temperature around 30 degrees. Once you start to reach 600k you will get warnings and your battery will drain.

The sun is not the only thing that can fry you. If you go near an active Lava Vent, you will also see the temperature rise. I reckon that an active Lava vent gets up to over a 1000k. As you approach it, you can see the temperature rise with each step, then you get the extreme temperature warning, then health damage, then death. And unlike the heat of the sun, the heat from Lava Vents can actually kill your SRV.

Even if it is not active, it can be warmer on the vent.

This is me taking heat damage from a dormant Lava Vent!

And see this post for an example of an type O star pushing up the temperature from over 30,000Ls: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-great-big-odyssey-screenshots-thread.568114/post-9353206

and then you fry.
