For some cost examples:

- Frostbreaking costs 40 Heatstamps for 8 tiles
- Initiating development of Idea Tree research.
- Buildings to upgrade districts have a more variable cost but can be around 200 Heatstamps.

Income and expenses[edit | edit source]
Heatstamps are generated from Population. At a rough estimate of beta edition rates, 10,000 people generate about 12 heatstamps per week. The rate per capita can be increased by laws, such as Paid Essentials.
Heatstamps are sometimes spent as a continuous expense by laws such as Compulsory Schools or Work Compensation. Additionally, failing to upkeep enough consumer 
Goods fulfillment will lead to a Heatstamp penalty. Most construction does not need to pay heatstamps for upkeep, which is generally considered as the role of 
Materials.
