About This Guide

Hearth & Hamlet Community Guide is an independent, fan-made resource for players building their first settlement or refining a late-game town. It is not an official wiki, and it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Phorust Studios or Runic Forge.

How our guides are made

We use an evidence-first process. Game details are checked against official store information, developer materials, visible in-game systems, and clearly attributed community reports. We separate confirmed facts from strategy recommendations: official rules and observed mechanics are presented as facts, while layouts, priorities, and optimization advice are labeled as guidance.

Hearth and Hamlet can change through patches. We review guides when the game or its public documentation changes, and pages with version-sensitive advice show a review date whenever practical.

Images and video

Gameplay screenshots and trailers used on this site are official promotional media sourced from the game's Steam store page, unless a page states otherwise. Hearth and Hamlet names, artwork, footage, and related game assets remain the property of their respective owners.

Corrections and contact

We welcome corrections supported by a patch note, screenshot, or reproducible in-game result. A public contact channel is not currently listed; we will add it here when one is available rather than publish an unmonitored address.
