Comfort and the rested buff

The most comfort you can build with what each biome gives you, counting the station a piece needs as well as its materials, so the hearth sits in the Swamp because the stonecutter takes iron. Each line lists only what moves the number. Pieces that arrive in a biome without beating what the group already has are listed after it.

Nothing new raises it. Every group is already at its best. New here, same value: Antler Throne, Long Carved Table, Moose Hide Carpet, Snow Lantern.

You start at 1. Standing under a roof adds another, so an empty shack is already comfort 2. After that the game collects every comfort piece within 10 metres, sorts them by group, and adds the best one from each group. A second chair adds nothing. Neither does a better chair, because it replaces the one you had rather than stacking with it.

Two details catch people out. A fire contributes nothing while it is unlit, because an inactive piece reports zero comfort rather than its printed value. And the buff only ever extends: walk out of a comfort 22 hall into a comfort 2 hut and the timer you already have keeps running at its old length.

Building one piece from each row is the whole optimization. Rows marked new arrived with 1.0, and the pieces in them used to stack freely before they were grouped, which is the single biggest change to how a base scores.

Rested runs for 8 minutes at comfort 1 and gains 60 seconds per comfort level above that. It costs nothing and it follows you out the door, which makes it the best value in the game for the effort.

Sitting there is stronger than the buff it produces. Resting multiplies health regeneration by 3, stamina by 4 and eitr by 4 while you stay put, and converts to rested after 20 seconds. If you are topping off before a fight, stay on the bench rather than leaving the moment the icon appears.

Three sets of build pieces only exist on certain real-world dates, checked against your computer's clock rather than anything in the world. The Yule Tree and the Maypole carry comfort and belong to no group, which means they stack on top of a finished base instead of replacing anything, and each moves the ceiling by one. A piece stays standing after its window closes, so a Maypole raised in June still counts at Yule and the two together reach 24. The rest land in groups that are already capped, so they add nothing but the look.
