A Home in the Desert -v0.4.5- By Misarmor: A Deep Dive into the Sands
The "Home"
Gameplay and Mechanics
- Earthen building systems: rammed earth, adobe, cob—good thermal mass, low embodied carbon; require protection from episodic rain and capillary moisture (large overhangs, plinths, breathable renders).
- Engineered concrete & insulated masonry: predictable performance; pair with exterior insulation or thermal breaks to avoid conductive heat penetration.
- High-albedo finishes and ceramic tiles for roofs and exposed horizontal surfaces.
- Metal: aluminum and corrugated steel for roofs; choose coatings with UV-stable primers and sacrificial coatings for sand abrasion resistance.
