I keep getting warnings about environmental danger on planets but nothing seems to actually happen.

If you're outside a hab long enough when you get the error (like an orange icon on the radar), you'll randomly receive debuffs related to the hazard. Burns, blisters, frostbite, hypothermia, various sicknesses, etc. Sometimes you don't get any at all, other times you're getting the debuff and having said debuff worsen within minutes. I really don't understand why tho.
I manged to get frostbite and something else after exploring a long time on a very cold planet. IIRC it penalized my health or stamina. There was something I had picked up in the Aid section that cured it, it was in some sort of pouch.
Maybe it depends on the severity of the environmental conditions and intensity of exposure.
Sometimes it won't do much if it isn't that bad. Other times it'll reduce your health bar and for more extreme exposure cause ailments.
I've not been paying much attention to be honest but I'll keep an eye out

I'm sure that is it, but there isn't an obvious way to know what the numbers for the environment are vs the numbers in your armor. The stats when you scan a planet don't tell you. They say what the biome is like and if it's extreme, but no actual numbers or anything to know if you'll be okay or at risk.
thats what I thought until i got this stupid cough haha
Google reddit (sorry!) and you'll find so many posts about it. Nobody knows.
But I wanna find the one that does know. 😩
Guess I'm emailing Todd Howard directly. Though I am sure the answer I'll get back is simply,
"It just works!"
I'm not sure, but maybe scanning the planet beforehand gives you some information on what you need?
