Some campers and RVs have wood-burning heaters.

A freezer or fridge heats the environment it is in equal to the power it uses.

My solar-powered cabin needs an electric space heater.

New update by Nexusmrsep just added a mechanic that allows fires to propagate heat into a room.

But an electric heater would be a nice addition.

No, that’s nexusmrsep’s work. I do vehicles, nexusmrsep is the temperatures and rot guy.

My bad. I thought I saw you talking about it so I assumed it was your work. Fixed that.

Ya, the thoughts were after a quick exploration of how the heat propagation works.

Also would like a heat map option in debug to check it out. I think my cabin is leaking but I don’t know where.
