Whiskerwood Beginners Tips

Prioritize heating for homes and key areas. Whiskers don't need to be warm constantly if their clothing provides some protection, but their houses require consistent heating. Utilize fire tenders and steam heating. Fire tenders help manage firepits by automatically refilling them, reducing micromanagement, and steam heating becomes a game-changer for efficient, less polluting warmth.
