'''Warming Up''' is a positive benefit [[Affliction]] in the '''[[The Long Dark|''The Long Dark'']].''' The buff is gained by eating [[Food And Drink]] that has been warmed up by a [[fire]] and currently has the "HOT" status.<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
'''HOT''' is an attribute that is granted to some foods immediately upon finishing [[Cooking]] over a Fire.<br />
<br />
* Only food or drink that is currently "HOT" will give Warming Up when consumed; which can be checked inside the inventory at any time.<br />
* Items that can be reheated but are now cold will have a blue "COLD" next to their status in the inventory page, whereas heated items will have a red "HOT."<br />
** Items that cannot be heated do not have this distinction (example: Warming Up cannot be obtained from cooked meat or boiled water, despite requiring a fire to make them.)<br />
** Some foods cannot be reheated once they are cooked, thus only gain the "HOT" benefit shortly after being prepared (see list below).<br />
<br />
"HOT" status is short-lived, wearing off after 15 game minutes indoors or 5 game minutes outdoors. Placing any warm food or drink inside an [[Insulated Flask]] will keep food and drink warmer for much longer than keeping it inside its original container, though not all foods can be inserted into a Flask. <br />
<br />
== Benefits ==<br />
[[File:Warming.jpg|thumb|Placing teas and canned goods near an active fire will warm/cook them, without sacrificing a cooking slot.]]Consuming items while HOT grants benefits to [[Warmth]] as long as Warming Up is active: <br />
<br />
* Instantly replenishes a small amount of the Warmth bar (20% for drinks, less for food). If [[First Aid]] teas are consumed and the survivor doesn't have [[Afflictions]] that may be cured by the respective cures, the Warmth gain will be 40%.<br />
* A plus sign ('+') appears on the Warmth bar indicating Warming Up Affliction, which slows down the loss of warmth during cold. Reduces Warmth loss by 50% compared to your current [[Feels Like]] temperature as long as Warming Up is active.<br />
* Partial consumption provides partial Warmth benefit but resets Afflictions' duration anew which in addition provide a fixed Warmth amount and full Warming Up duration on the final moment of complete consumption.<br />
<br />
It is possible to warm up some food and drinks without directly cooking on a fire's cooking slot, thus sparing a cooking slot. By placing them around an active fire, multiple teas and canned goods can be warmed up at once.<br />
<br />
