vintage story is one of very few games that has an integrated model of (collision) physics and thermodynamics.

actually, i can't think of any other game where a blacksmithing workpiece in your inventory is a physics object that can be quite hot, and if you throw them in a lake or something they sizzle violently

it even models blackbody radiation correctly! it's a texture overlay. sufficiently hot metal _looks_ the temperature it is, to me. incredible attention to detail
