TOPIC: Heat


Charcoal is easy to produce. The Hicks Water Stove produces both heat and hot water. Those with domestic animals can use Animal Heat during cold spells, and heat can even be gleaned from Manure. Burried Garbage or a Compost pile can also be a source. Geothermal heat can be tapped, but may indicate Unstable Geo. Hot Water can be heated from any source with a Tube Coil system, with a Caution. Heating Large Quantities is also feasible. While housing is being rebuilt, Gel Fuel from a portable fireplace that can be safely kept in tight quarters may fill the gap. Cooking is more efficient with Thermal Feedback.
