Hyperthermia
Hyperthermia is a moodle that indicates the character's temperature.
Overview
This moodle is shown when the player is getting too hot due to excessive heat exposure from a heat source, clothing, weather, vehicle heater, or exercise/exertion.
Going in/outdoors (depending on which is colder) or removing clothing and wearing clothes with lower insulation will reduce the players temperature, and remove the moodle. Being hydrated is important to have good heat resistance.
This is also a sign of illness or zombie infection, as these lead to an increase in body temperature. It is highly improbable to reach maximum Hyperthermia in the current version of the game, as sweat helps dissipate and control heat.
