Other ways to survive the winter season
Survivors should always keep a torch in their inventory as it is a great source of light and heat. Plants and animals will not be as easily available in cold weather. It is best to stock up on these resources and dry them on a drying rack to preserve them.
As mentioned, heat sources like campfires, torches, and the winter jacket are excellent at keeping survivors alive.
Most of the lakes and other water sources freeze up, so it is best to keep a reserve of water before winter rolls in. Some sources will remain unfrozen, so players can go out looking for them if they run out.
