Freezing icon

    I feel like the current icon which Starbound uses to indicate that you're freezing (the little sun on the left side of the bar) is confusing, especially to new players.

    If the sun icon was changed to a snowflake, that would clear up a lot of confusion and make it more obvious that your character is beginning to freeze to death.

    Yeah, the sun is typically seen as a symbol for "light" not heat, Change the existing icon to a snowflake, while adding a flame icon to the opposite side, and flip the color scheme of it to a gradient of Blue left, red right. Maybe have it start in the middle for hot climates that will be added eventually, or being on fire.
    Especially since the bar drains *toward* the sun, its pretty misleading.

    Far from it, given the number of complaints people have. but this seems to be a pretty universal one, and what is a beta for, if not catching and fixing as many of the little niggles as possible. I expect we get this change within the first couple of updates.
