I just read the update. If jungles are now as hot as green/yellow biomes are cold then jungles will be completely abandoned. Why?
- mosquitos will be huge deterrent, especially that yellow fever will be worse in jungle.
- it's easier to gain heat (e.g. from fire) than lose it without crossing biomes. You can cool down with snow that comes from different biome.
All you gain from jungle is finite bananas - not good reason to build city in the jungle.
Desert also will be unlivable which is quite realistic. But same will be will be with jungle now. Maybe that also is intended when you think about it.
Also: it will be much harder to start a camp. Clothes are not quick to get and without perfect spots on edges and without nice jungles new cilizations will be quickly burning wood and food.

Now that I think about it, going from jungle to colder biome after mosquitos bite you will shock-cool you instantly, so you are ready for the fever. At least there's that.

Heat shock is reduced when you get bite.
Jungles have rubber trees, palm trees, and mangoes. So, jungles have some advantages. But, I agree, why would anyone want to live in a jungle now? It's such a shame. I set up in a jungle because of the benefits before the update. And now I've felt like taking a mining pick to my own kilns and oven.

Exactly: each biome has unique resources, but those in jungle are higher in the tech. Noone will settle there to rip benefits generations later. Just walk to jungle. And we can plant amngo trees I guess...
Thanks for info about shock after bite
