QuinnCrafting Posted June 10 Report Posted June 10 So my base is by some hotsprings, but the wiki seems a bit lackluster when it comes to info about it. I'm planning on using it to heat my home and eventual greenhouse, but will that actually work? Over how large an area? Will it kill crops with being too warm? And it has a unique gravel type, but it's not listed under the gravel page. Does 'sludgy' gravel have unique drops if panned? Does anyone know??
QuinnCrafting Posted June 10 Author Report Posted June 10 Also if I put my cellar anywhere near the hotsprings, does that ruin it's ability to preserve food?

You can probably use it to heat your home if you build so that the hotspring is contained inside, but...it's also not necessary if the rooms qualify as insulated rooms, since body temperature will stop dropping and slowly increase in these spaces, even without a fire. Greenhouses, I'm pretty sure, go purely off outside temperature plus an extra 5 C warmth, so no use in trying to build a hot spring into one, at least to my knowledge. 36 minutes ago, QuinnCrafting said: Over how large an area? You can warm up by standing next to a hotspring, but that's also the key...you have to pretty much stand next to it. As stated above, it's better to make sure your interior rooms count as rooms, and otherwise use a firepit to warm up as needed since a firepit can fit into a much smaller space. 39 minutes ago, QuinnCrafting said: Will it kill crops with being too warm? I don't think hotspring heat applies to crops at all, currently. 39 minutes ago, QuinnCrafting said: Does 'sludgy' gravel have unique drops if panned? I'm pretty sure that sludgy gravel is the same as muddy gravel, in that it cannot be panned. 1

You will receive body warmth within 3 blocks of a spring water block iirc. On 6/10/2026 at 3:13 PM, QuinnCrafting said: Will it kill crops with being too warm? Spring water has no effect on crops, positive or negative. 1
