New & Improved
- Added voice line for starting Panic Attack

[h2]Balance[/h2]
We rebalanced the Weather System:
- There should no longer be situations where multiple weather areas overlap causing extreme drop in temperature in a small area.
[h3]For Story:[/h3]
- Act 1 location ambient temperature is set to -10 (-8 for the first night),
- Act 2 locations are set to -13. Of course, different weathers add to ambient temperature,
- Cloudy weather can appear after the first night
- Snowy weather can appear after "The Survival Instinct" quest (Rabbit Hunting)
- Snowy and windy weather can appear after the "Hunting" quest (Deer Hunting Act 2)
- Blizzard weather can appear after picking up the lever from "Echoes of Sabotage II"
[h3]For Survival:[/h3]
- Every area is set to -10 with all weathers possible from the start.
[h3]For Story and Survival:[/h3]
- Area 3 (Mountain in Act 2) - always blizzard, and near the mountain, there is always snow
- Area 6 (Behind the Act 2 final gate) - Possible weather is snowy, snowy and windy or blizzard (temp. Story -13 for Endless -10)
- Shelter buff now gives an additional 5 cold protection (was 10)
- Cave buff now gives an additional 2 cold protection (was 6) but retains the coldness from the weather outside, so in net it will now usually be a bit colder in caves.
- Hot springs now give +10 to ambient temperature (was +15) and in addition, increase the wetness by +4
[h3]Campfire changes to ambient temperature:[/h3]
- Basic campfire gives +8
- A proper campfire gives +10
- Platform campfire gives +13
- Long campfire gives +14
- Tepee campfire gives + 18
- Shelter campfires +13 (also campfires in hunters' and woodcutters' huts in Story)
[h3]Weather changes to ambient temperature and wetness:[/h3]
- Clear weather is from 0 to -2 (was 0 to -1), for wetness it is -1 (was -2 to -4)
- Cloudy weather is from -2.5 to -3.5 (was -2 to -3), wetness 1
- Snowy weather is from -4 to -6 (was -3 to -4), wetness from 2 to 4
- Snowy and windy weather is from -5 to -7 (was -5 to -6), wetness from 4 to 6
- Blizzard stays -8, wetness 8
- Main heat multiplier increased by 20% (will be getting cold and warm 20% faster)
[h3]Story Specific:[/h3]
- Switched equipment to a Small Spear Holder at the beginning of Act 2
- Added Bone Axe schematic to Hunting Book but removed it from the start of Act 2
- Moved the Bone Axe to Act 2 to avoid sidetracking progress
