Do my friends and I have separate villages?
Co-op players share a village, storehouse, and workforce. Anything someone builds is there for the whole group, so you can split woodcutting, farming, and other tasks.

Halmweit gameplay guide and player questions
Steam edition · Researched Nov 8, 2026 · Guide updated Nov 8, 2026.
How do I recruit more villagers?
Walk up to prospective villagers and talk to them. Recruitment is based on those interactions instead of a separate recruitment button.
Based on source 1.
Where can I look for coal?
Explore the caves below the world map. The publisher lists coal among their contents, alongside occasional items left underground.
Based on source 1.
How does winter affect my village's operations?
Winter arrives every year, requiring you to heat stoves with wood or coal. A village that successfully stocks up on these fuel sources during the autumn months will remain snug and warm throughout the cold season.
Based on source 1.
What happens if my villagers become hungry or overwhelmed?
When villagers are hungry, they work at a slower pace. If they feel overwhelmed, they will stop working entirely. Both situations can be resolved, and the game ensures conditions never deteriorate beyond these manageable states.
Based on source 1.
How do I progress from basic tools to advanced infrastructure?
You begin with an axe and a small group of people. Over time, you can develop sawmills, markets, and power systems, eventually utilizing tracks for freight trains and cargo boats to transport goods across the lakes.
Based on source 1.
Are there any threats like monsters or disasters?
Halmweit features no fighting, monsters, or disasters that could burn your village down. There is no time pressure or end screen, allowing you to focus entirely on building and managing your settlement at your own pace.
Based on source 1.
What is the purpose of keeping animals like cows and sheep?
Animals are not kept to harvest resources from them. Cows and sheep are included in the game simply because a farm would not feel like a complete farm without their presence in the village.
Based on source 1.
Can I tame animals to help with travel?
Yes, if you prefer to ride rather than walk across the map, you have the option to tame a horse. This provides an alternative method for navigating the large, procedurally generated world surrounding your village.
Based on source 1.
How do I keep a cat in my village?
While you can interact with animals, the cat will only stay in your village if you feed it often enough. This is a simple maintenance task to keep the animal as part of your settlement.
