Add Insulation to Beds

[Pseudozen]

Is it possible to add insulation to beds, so while a pawn is sleeping they have some protection from the cold?
I tried playing around with the beds <statBases>  20 deg f, no clothes with different combinations of <Insulation_Cold> & <Insulation_Heat>
Tried -100, -15 for cold insulation
-15,100,15 for head insulation
But my little dude kept freezing.
I also did not see the Insulation properties when i clicked on (i) and looked at the properties
This may not be a thing.

<Insulation_Cold> & <Insulation_Heat>

I looked at the apparel code and found "<Insulation_Cold>-3</Insulation_Cold>", this might be the thing you are looking for.

XML's aren't magic. You can't just write "<mechanoid>" in bed thingDef and hope that this will work. Because you can't "equip" bed (bed isn't apparel) you also can't use "<insulation>" "tag".

On the other-hand you could make a .dll (assembly) which changes the max and min values of "freezing" as long as the pawn is sleeping in the bed. Or am i wrong in saying this?

PS: Adam, do you have a solution to the problem, as i intend to make a "mod" for myself later containing this.

That is an interesting idea. I am just starting to get into modding so I still have some things to learn =)
I suppose you could also make the bed a minor heat source that is toggled on when the pawn is in it if your idea didn't work.

I was thinking the same thing, but then the whole room would bee heated. It would be a nice "fix" to the problem, though it would be exploited.

This is a toughy. My brain says to make the bed tick, check for a pawn ontick and do something but im struggling to think how you could only effect the pawn in the bed and not other stuff.

One could make a workerdef telling pawns to use the "insulated bed", then increase the pawns "heat". This would make it a "one pr person" type of heat source and not an oven.

If you have a more detailed explanation on how this could be done or just like spitballing, please leave a comment with your suggestion.
