The heat requirement of the building in "Ice Age 2" is a very important attribute in the game, but many players are not sure what the building heat requirement means. First, it is the basic heat requirement at -20°, and At -40°, the heat requirement is twice the base heat requirement.
What is the use of building heat requirements in Ice Age 2
According to my observation, -20° is the basic heat requirement; and at -40°, the heat requirement is twice the basic heat requirement. I guess that every -10° will increase the heat requirement by 50%.
According to the heat cost of 10 labor per heat, it is not difficult to see that in most buildings and zoning, heat costs account for 20%-50% of the total cost. As the temperature decreases, the energy consumption of your mining area and industrial area It will skyrocket. If you don’t have enough heat and you don’t shut down these high heat-consuming zones, you will wait for the vicious cycle of cold -> disease -> reduced labor force -> insufficient labor force in the entire production -> even colder.
