What happened?

- After washing the head or wetting clothes, the game sets a 30 s "temporary resistance", meant to stop heat stroke

from building up again right away.

- But ThermalBiasHandler.Add() ignores every change while that timer runs, decreases included:

```c

// 4_World/Classes/ThermalBiasHandler.c

void Add(float value)

{

if (m_TemporaryResistanceTime > 0.0)

return; // also blocks negative values (recovery)

...

}

// ActionWashHeadWettingClothesBase.c OnFinishProgressServer

action_data.m_Player.GetThermalBiasHandler().Add(-PlayerConstants.THERMAL_BIAS_WASH_HEAD_DECREMENT); // -0.175

action_data.m_Player.GetThermalBiasHandler().SetTemporaryResistance(PlayerConstants.THERMAL_BIAS_WASH_HEAD_TEMPORARY_RESISTANCE_TIME); // 30 s

```

- So for 30 s after a wash, natural recovery is blocked, and a second wash in that window does nothing.

- Holding the wash action repeats it every few seconds. Only the first repeat counts, and each repeat resets the

30 s timer, so washing continuously freezes heat stroke for as long as you keep washing, plus 30 s.

Reproduction steps

1. Get heat stroke phase 2 or higher.

2. Wash at a pond once, then hold the wash action for a minute or wash every 10–20 s.

3. Compare with a single wash every 35 s or more.

Expected result

Expected result: every wash cools the player (−0.175). The resistance only stops heat stroke from rising.

Actual result: only washes more than 30 s apart count. Washing more often does nothing and even stops natural

recovery.
