Default Reduced Temperature Tolerance (Smaller Comfort Zone Range)?

How would you price having a smaller comfort zone range than 55°? I checked and there doesn't seem to be a RAW answer.

I'd rewrite Temperature Tolerance like this, which includes Reduced Temperature Tolerance.

What about making a machine that has Immunity to Metabolic Hazards actually have a temperature range unrelated to that required to cause damage?
I've asked this in other threads, but it always devolves into arguments that machines aren't actually immune to temperature based metabolic hazards. Regardless of R.A.W. and Kromm quotes.

I don't understand, by RAW and Kromm quotes, Machines do have a temperature range, 55 degrees plus any temperature tolerance. For example in Shell Tech most of the shells have temperature tolerance in addition to Immunity to Metabolic Hazards in som cases a lot of temperature tolerance; The Baikal cryobot has 25 level of temperature tolerance, giving it a range of 380 degrees. Outside of this range roll HT+15, -penalties for intensity, or lose HT.

What about that doesn't serve your purposes?

That part after "Outside of this range" is not in any book I have. From other threads I gather it's part of the new material from the Zombie supplement.
+15 with the rule of 16 I assume?
I don't have my Basic next to me, but I don't remember intensity mentioned for heat, only cold.

Yes. Whenever someone without ItMH would roll to lose fatigue.

How would that even work? The "rule of 16" is for resisted supernatural attacks. Just Roll HT+15±Modifiers, remembering that 17-18 always fails. If you fail, lose 1 HT.
