Warmth & Shelter

Warmth is the currency. Shelters are the banks.

Warmth, hunger and exhaustion are described as the core survival meters.

Shelters are how you stop losing warmth; generators are how you make it.

The loop is scavenge → repair → heat → push deeper.

Mechanics

  • Restore abandoned shelters instead of building walls from scratch — far cheaper in scarce materials.
  • Centralise generators deep inside the shelter; perimeter placement bleeds heat.
  • Build "warm rooms" to wait out whiteouts instead of burning fuel continuously.

Unmeasured

Not published, not inferable, not guessed:

  • Warmth drain rate
  • Generator fuel consumption
  • Shelter insulation values
