If you put a 100% bear skin inside where the AT is -1 it will decay to about 30% before fully cured, if you forget and leave it on the ground at -1 it will continue to decay and basically can be ruined before you use it. I was planning for the long term and I was worried that my cured skins would decay to ruin. Many thanks Stewy! Looking forward to your next installment! Wow! This is really good to know for those wanting to wring every last bit out of the game. Now I'm wondering if clothing stored in mines, either in lockers or on the ground in a area of +6 wont decay at all.

Now it got me thinking that the reason clothing decays in containers is because we seem to always keep it in a low AT area like cabins ect. However in a mine the temps are constant and steady at +6c and you will have zero decay, not only while curing but after curing. If you go into a 2-layer cave for ex in the back and it has an AT of +11 there won't be decay but in the 12 or so days it takes to cure, you could be hit with a blizzard and the AT can drop well below zero and you will have fast decay. A coastal house will have +3 for ex but will still decay but slower. If you go into the cash register area the AT is +2 and decay will be slower. Originally posted by FP Stewy:If anyone is interested, I did a couple of test and it seems that for ex if you are in the QGS in the tire area the Air Temp is -1 the curing will decay faster, a 100% bear skin can decay to about 30%.
