Surviving Summer or Dry Season will depend on a combination of these.

Overheating can be battled in two ways, by reducing the player's temperature, and by preventing player's temperature from rising rapidly. The only way to stop this is by cooling off, such as being near a sufficiently cold source. The player will then begin to take damage. 'Hot as heck!') and the screen will gain a reddish ring within the orange haze. At 70° an orange haze will appear around the player's screen, and a sizzling sound will play, much like the crackling sound when Freezing occurs. When the player begins to take in too much heat (at 65°), the edge of the screen will begin to turn orange and become a hazy ring while a warning sound plays (much like freezing leaves ice on the edges of the screen and crackles). Overheating can also occur while the player is standing close to a fire source at maximum fuel, for a long period of time. Overheating happens during Summer or Dry Season. Overheating is a game mechanic found in the Reign of Giants and Shipwrecked DLCs, functioning as the counterpart to Freezing in Winter.
