About the Game
Heat Death is a sci-fi survival game where you build, upgrade, and customize your own battle train and use it to explore and survive a frozen world! This train is not only your shelter and vehicle, but also your weapon and ally to face hostile drones, deadly storms, and hidden mysteries of an unknown world!Build Your Train
Build your train from scratch in Heat Death. Construct structural elements such as walls, floors, and ceilings, and then install power generators, heavy weapons, drones, shields, and many other modules to your train. You can also personalize your train’s appearance and layout by selecting and arranging decals and modules.
Explore a Dynamic and Frozen World
The world of Heat Death is vast, dynamic, and unforgiving. Explore frozen lakes, mountain ranges, caves, frozen jungles, and cities where you can find loot, unlock new equipment, and discover the fate of humanity! Since you can move your base, you can explore these environments with ease!
Survive Deadly Storms
The environment itself is your first and most challenging enemy in Heat Death! Keep yourself warm during snowy storms by creating and upgrading your train or by taking shelter inside other buildings. Manage your resources such as power and food to stay alive.
Defeat Hostile Drones
In Heat Death you'll face various enemies that aim to attack and destroy your train. You can either build defensive modules such as auto-cannons, shields, and friendly drones to fight back or make your train fast enough to outrun them!

Hello survivors and engineers! We're excited to announce that the new update v0.4.0.b is now live on Steam! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44781887/4b2884a72c4f2ca54b873309452509f4ccd3c163.jpg Changelog compared to previous public release: - Chapter 2: The first island from Chapter 2 has been added to the game! Explore the frozen world of Heat Death even further. - The All-New Journal: We've introduced a brand-new Journal system, which completely replaces the old "Data Logs" tab right next to your inventory. - Suit Mods: You can now upgrade your suit by installing various modules. One of the most important new additions is the Body Heater, which uses your suit's power to keep you warm in extreme conditions. - Environmental Overhauls: You will notice many environmental changes reflecting the lore, including new faction logos, some buildings being redesigned, and more. - Wind Turbine: This new module converts wind into power, making it incredibly useful during storms when wind speeds peak. Additionally, because the star is at a sharper angle in Chapter 2's region, solar panels are less effective here, making it the perfect time to switch some over to wind power! - Furniture Modules: We've added a brand-new "Furniture" module category! You can now craft decorative items to customize your train and create a cozy home inside your mobile base. - New Structural Modules: You can now build half-height walls and windows. This allows you to design more unique layouts and make much better use of your train's interior space. - New Colored Train Lights: You can now change the color of your train lights, allowing for even deeper customization of your train! - Storm Variations: We have introduced three new storm types to replace the old single-storm system: * Light Snow: A milder, less harsh weather event. * Storm: On par with the intensity of the original storm. * Radioactive Storm: The title says it all—extreme caution is advised whenever this one hits! - German Localization: We’ve added Ger...Read full article on Community Announcements (massgamesdev)
