Warmth Equation
finalWarmth = 100 - (25 × t × coldPenalty - gearWarmth × t × 0.5) + drinks + campfire
Hunger Equation
finalHunger = 100 - 15 × t + foodRestore + drinkRestore
Risk Thresholds
final < 20 → Danger · < 40 → Caution · otherwise Safe
Core Tool Matrix
Expedition Console
Applies 100 - [25 × time × cold penalty - gear warmth × time × 0.5] to forecast return stats, risk, and supply plan.
Open Tool →Warmth Budget Matrix
Cross-references destination, weather, and time-of-day to output minimum warmth and sample loadouts.
Open Tool →Supply Ratio Board
Blends 15 × time hunger decay with pie/tea recovery to find the lowest safe food & drink quantities.

Expedition Console (Interactive)
Enter destination, gear, supplies, weather, and time of day to instantly get round-trip duration, risk level, and supply recommendations. Powered by calculateExpedition(), which evaluates rawDecay, warmthUsage, and hungerUsage to classify Safe / Caution / Danger.
Calculation Notes
- Destinations pull from `AREAS` (distance, base time, coldFactor).
- Gear warmth stacks values from `SWEATERS/HATS/SCARVES/GLOVES`.
- Supplies use `FOODS/DRINKS` recovery plus optional +50 campfire bonus.
Sample Output
Example: Frozen Lake + Thick Sweater + stormy night. If supplies fall short, the console shifts to Danger and suggests more hot tea or a campfire kit.
Adjust the console below to mirror your own loadout.

Warmth Budget
Destination Cold Penalties & Loadouts
Reverse-calculates required warmth via `BASE_WARMTH_DECAY_RATE × duration × coldFactor` so creators can share “minimum gear per route” cheat sheets.
Warmth Budget Matrix
Area Cold Penalties & Loadouts
Formula: requiredWarmth = (rawDecay - 60) / (duration × 0.5), where rawDecay = 25 × duration × (areaCold × weather × timeOfDay). Assumes Granite-tier tools (speed 1.5) plus best-in-slot accessories.
