Homestead (Singleplayer Mode) Grandpa has passed down his old farm to you. Help nurture it back to life in the new Homestead mode for Heat. Homestead is a new Single Player mode, in which you build an amazing farm by day, and go to sleep at night. It was inspired by games such as Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley, but we wanted to take it in a different direction, mixing in many survival elements. You can pick from 10 different scenarios. Each scenario has a different starting homestead, starting equipment, and some have special conditions. The game saves when you sleep at night, you can load up old saves, and it supports full admin commands. Heat (Multiplayer Mode) Survive the wilderness, build a home, raise a family, and expand your territory. Gain power as President, deliver justice as Sheriff, fight for your tribe as Chief, or show some southern hospitality as Governor. Begin your new life in 19th century America. Heat is an online multiplayer survival mode for up to 40 players. Environment There are 20 unique biomes in Heat spread out over a 67km2 world, each with its own sub-biomes to explore. We developed a unique way to create dense forest floors which requires players to clear the land in order to build. Explore vast and diverse landscapes ranging from the cold mountainous peaks to the tropical seashores, and from the harsh deserts to the muggy swamplands. Built from the roots up using real-world photogrammetric data, experience next generation graphics in both variety and detail. Seasons & Dynamic Weather The game world visually updates in real time based on the season you are in. Play through all four seasons. Enjoy the crisp colors of fall, or the long snowy days of winter. Prepare your homestead for the winter time by keeping ample food supply as you cannot farm during this season. Wear some insulated clothes, keep them dry, and light some furnaces to keep warm. Check the Newspaper for a weekly weather forecast, as its important to know when the rains will come. Towns, Merchants, and Outlaws Visit the towns of Washington, Tombstone, and Sacayo. You can buy and sell at them, and each town has some unique goods for sale in which you can trade between towns for a profit. Merchants sell items you cannot buy from the shipping bin catalogue, and are a convenient way to sell your items when traveling. Get a good nights rest at the local Inn, and deposit some money at the bank for safe keeping. You can also gift a dowry to any townsfolk in order to buy their affection. Fast travel between towns by buying a ticket for the train at the train stations. However, be careful to obey the law and not shoot at townsfolk and merchants. By doing so, you will be labelled an Outlaw, receive Heat, and have the law chase you down. Stockpiles and Shipping Bin We introduce a new concept in stockpiles. Heavy goods require physical space for storage, so while you can still store light goods in your small containers, wood, stone, ore, and other heavy materials mu
