Heat and heat levels for the various Buildings is one of the Game Mechanics in Frostpunk.
Description[]
Generating heat allows you to combat the cold and keep your city functioning. Each 10C drop reduces heat levels by 1, whereas things like building insulation and heat from the Generator raise heat levels.
Summing up all the heat level modifiers for a building determines its temperature level:
| Temperature Level | Heat Level Differential | Effect on Health | People falling ill on normal(%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comfortable (0°C +) | +2 | Cannot become ill | 0 |
| Livable (-1°C to -10°C) | +1 | Very low risk of becoming ill | 3 |
| Chilly (-11°C to -20°C) | 0 | Low risk of becoming ill | 15 |
| Cold (-21°C to -30°C) | -1 | Moderate risk of becoming ill | ?? |
| Very Cold (-31°C to -40°C) | -2 | High risk of becoming ill and low risk of becoming gravely ill | ?? / ~25% |
| Freezing (-41°C or lower) | -3 | Very high risk of becoming ill and small risk of requiring amputation | ?? / ?? |
For example, a tent in -40°C weather within the heat zone of a level 1 generator would have the following modifiers:
- -2 Weather (-1 per 10°C below the initial -20°C)
- +1 Building insulation
- +1 Heat from generator
The sum is 0 so the building is Chilly.
The current temperature of each person will NOT change if it matches the temperature of the environment (home or at work). If the difference between the levels is 1, for example, a person feels COMFORTABLE and is in an LIVABLE temperature, then "cooling down" will occur in 12 hours. The same if a person "cools down" from LIVABLE to CHILLY. The temperature change occurs gradually, so: Warming up will occur if the difference between the levels is:
From livable to comfortable, 18 hours (exception to the rule)
1. 12 hours 2. 6 hours 3. 4 hours 4. 3 hours 5. 2 hours
Cooling down works according to the same rules as heating.
Notes[]
Heat is not important in the Last Autumn scenario until the very end, when the frost hits. The temperature remains above 0 for most of the scenario.
Trivia[]
- The reason why the temperature is comfortable at 0°C is that the people in our city are already wearing warm clothing, and have a device called a lamp outlined in one of the Relics so a temperature of 0°C is warm to them.
