Question -- NOT A SUGGESTION -- about ambient temperature

[MisterFister]

First off, some fanmail: I was very late to the Minecraft craze, and I can proudly say that I have no vanilla Minecraft experience, as 100% of my Minecraft playtime is through Better Than Wolves. I don't count the handful of one-off attempts to sit down and play vanilla, and it just gets boring quickly when I realize that I literally don't even need to make tools until after I have an aboveground base established. This creates some odd elements of confusion when I go to look up crafting recipes and apparently this mod still uses the vanilla, but hey, I'm at least smart enough to realize that BTW is awesome, so I manage.

Now my question: In the last few version updates, there's been a "new mechanic" of some sort that I think we all weren't exactly expecting. Is the base game capable of supporting a mod that introduces ambient temperature health effects? Overheating or dehydration (or both) in desert and swamp, hypothermia in snow biomes, etc.?

This is not a suggestion, please don't ban me, but I am asking the question because it seems like something FC would have thought of. I recently ran across FC's playthrough with IcyNewYear dated from about 3 years ago, wherein FC was mentioning that BTW development was somehow winding down (...? no please, your work is awesome, same for KSP-BTSM) but I don't recall any straight-from-Flowerchild any mention of temperature. I recall one errant mention of wind effects during storms, but I don't recall the context and cannot find the post now to even confirm in my mind who uttered it.

It's entirely possible for that, and there's already some vanilla mechanics (and some mods) that take advantage of biome temperatures. For example, snow golems only leave a trail of snow behind if it's below a certain temperature and start to take damage if it's above a certain temperature.

I can't even really tell what your question is, as in what kind of information you're really wanting here, or why it would be in this subforum if it wasn't implying a suggestion.

Perhaps coherence would be a better thing to focus on rather than worrying about possibly being banned? :)

First time posting, so I didn't really know where to put it. I guess I was curious what other mechanics might make appearances in further releases, and as an example, I mentioned "Hardcore Temperature" or something.

In all seriousness, I love this mod and fully endorse or understand every single thing you've done with it. I happened upon the forums here mostly to look for ideas on my own playthrough (posted in another section) where I'm really feeling stone-age food pressure and I needed a break from the delicious frustration of that.
