Heatstamps are a resource in Frostpunk 2 that players will use to perform a variety of actions, including Frostbreaking, building Districts, and erecting Buildings. As fans pursue those activities, they may occasionally find themselves short on Heatstamps and wondering how to increase their rate of acquisition. This guide is here to shine light on this matter, and it will help players get more Heatstamps in Frostpunk 2.
Heatstamps Income is dramatically reduced when Goods Scarcity is in effect.

Frostpunk 2: How to Increase Heatstamps Income
Increase Population
Heatstamps are directly connected to Population, and players can increase their weekly income by growing their Cities. While the Population of a well-maintained City will grow without much intervention, fans can increase the rate at which it occurs by increasing their Population Growth. This guide to increasing Population Growth in Frostpunk 2 will help players pursue that endeavor.
Raise or Demand Funds
If a player is in dire need of Heatstamps, they can immediately collect some from an established Community or Faction in Frostpunk 2. This is done by clicking on the Community or Faction at the bottom of the screen, clicking on the Favours tab, and then selecting either Raise Funds or Demand Funds.
Players must have at least a Neutral Relation with the Faction before they can select Raise Funds. By contrast, there is no Relation requirement for Demand Funds, though fans will need quite a number of Guard Squads in Frostpunk 2 before they can pick that option. It is also worth noting that Relations are worsened by using either of these options, and Demand Funds even causes Trust to fall.
Enact Laws
There are a handful of Laws that directly affect Heatstamps Income, and they can be put before the Council after researching certain ideas. Here is a list of those Laws, and city-builder fans who are struggling with Heatstamps should try to pass and enact some of them:
- Basic Necessities: Paid Essentials (Council: City). Available immediately.
- Housing Distribution: Merit-Based Housing (Council: City). Available after researching Housing Distribution: Merit-Based Housing (Idea Tree: City).
- Alcohol: City-Run Alcohol Shops (Council: City). Available after researching Alcohol: City-Run Alcohol Shops (Idea Tree: City).
- Outsiders: Allow Productive Outsiders (Council: City). Available immediately.
- Community Service: Service Exemption (Council: City). Available immediately.
Rallies
Establishing strong Relations with a Faction will occasionally cause the Faction to initiate a Rally event. Players can activate a variety of bonuses during those events, one of which increases Heatstamps Income.
Build Pleasure Clubs
Pleasure Clubs are buildings that can be established in Housing Districts, and they increase Heatstamps Income. To gain access to this building, players must research Leisure: Pleasure Club (Idea Tree: City), though not everyone will have access to that idea. Indeed, Pleasure Club is a Radical Idea that requires progress with Reason.
