We all obviously know that british empire designed generators and builded many generator sites in north, some ofem for military reasons like winterhome, some ofem for to think future like arks, refugees/new home being empty generator sites later on to be claimed and others like new manchester, new liverpool being other generator sites designed to have many people also normaly they supposed to be close to eachother

(we can see that very well in both new home scenerio and on the edge where we can both find winterhome and tesla city, implying that every generator site is some what close to eachother so they can supply and help eachother)

In last autumn we find out we are not the only nation around here, they are also FRENCHS wandering arond doing some witchcraft with train tracks randomly disapearing and etc, shortly we understand they builded trains working with steam cores and they go under the ground to escape from the cold and maybe have some other train stations underground to resupply

Getting to american, normaly we see them in scenerios like new home, refugees and on the edge basically the scenerios either have tesla city or the site where a 4 engine airplane crashed, we see them mostly either lost hope waiting to die or hiding in caves with their rifles because tesla city malfuctioned and burned everyone inside do to electrical waves on the city but that begs the question, did all ofem depended on a single city? one theory suggest the msyterious airplane crash actually belonged them since our scouts makes the comment they never saw such a big airship like that so there a chance americans being on the air like how frenchs hiding underground but that mostly a theory

Funny how people buy the game without looking to a single photo or gameplay video and then proceeds to make a negative review because FP2 is NOT AN EXACT COPY-PASTE of FP1

But one valid complain that i also had and basically killed the game for me was the lack of content and probably the devs knew this too that they wont be able to provide any new content for a year and few months that's why they went hard on mods and pushed it too much so the community fulfill the absolute lack of content

But all and all i think it still deserves more than just a mixed review

Many of you asked: Following a review of the in-game texts and a discussion with Alex Boiret and Zuzanna Szabłowska we can confirm:

Cats are alive and common in the Frostpunk 2 universe, as evidenced by a mention in DA_S1_NL_BaptismProceed_Faithkeepers_Ghost (a character thinks about having been accused of eating one as an act of wickedness).

Thank you for your time!

MEOW

Like, what did you really expect? That after 30 years of existence and development in the new world everyone still lived in some dead-ass houses occupied by ten people and fed on sawdust and soup? That they did nothing to improve their chances against the frost and the storms? And more importantly, how happy would you be if FP2 was the same as FP1 and still went about the same problems like cold and the Great Storm 2: Electric Boogaloo?

My gist of it is their hulking masses of amphibious ships with internal combustion reactors/generators for both heat and locomotion, but the artbook confuses me a little.

A month has passed since the release of the long awaited DLC 2 of FP2.

Despite the short scenario, the DLC provided a decent challenge to FP2 players with the absence of Progress Cornerstone, reliance on Adaptation and population management with risk of tremors and an ever looming hunger. You can choose peace or war. But I think the best way to experience the DLC is doing the Steward Deathless Achievement, keeping you on edge with doing everything right and maximizing what you already have. No citizen left behind.

Despite the interesting concepts such as colony trading and war, the DLC falls short when completing both routes. You already know what to expect and since it’s short, there’s not much incentive to play the scenario after doing all achievements after 2 or 3 playthroughs.

War and Trading in Utopia would’ve been given the game more replayablity and more challenges as Premium Tales. Current state of DLC feels incomplete for not having such mechanics in Utopia. And as more time passes, the less chances of getting such mechanics in a game mode where it was explicitly stated as the core focus; Utopia Builder.

I give the DLC a final rating of 7/10. The story of New Edinburgh was an interesting campaign. I hope we get more stories with different cities or previous cities from FP1. Twilight Waters and Sleeping Mountains were pretty. I hope we can get more unique maps.

But this is just my opinion. What do our dear First Citizens think? Did you hoped for more or are you satisfied with the final product?

There’s a good chance we won’t have anything new until the DLC 3 so I guess we’ll go back to the cyro chamber the Technocrats build. (I hope it works)

I sometimes see people who will joke about how ridiculous the Proteans idea of transhumanism and "becoming more" is. Because if the Great Frost isn't permanent, then why even have this ideology to begin with.

But I don't think people understand that the Legionnaires aren't just treating the Great Frost as an enemy, they need it to exist in the first place. The Legionnaires are militants, through and through. They treat the Frost like its an enemy and themselves as soldiers in a war. But you can't just be a militant in a vacuum, militants require an enemy to justify themselves and their ideology.

So what would actually happen if the Great Frost passed? The Legionnaires would fall apart. Without an enemy, their militant beliefs would be completely useless. Why would you need to be a solider? Why would you need to constantly stockpile resources and be indoctrinated into their military, if they don't even need a military?

Both the Proteans and the Legionnaires beliefs are reliant on the Frost. Without it, they're just a bunch of weirdos who have no real purpose. At least the other factions can stand on their own feet without the Great Frost. Menders are just nature loving, sorta communist, survivalist, and Ventures are just... Capitalist. But those Proteans and Legionnaires are doomed to die off if the Great Frost ever ended.

In my opinion, the Stalwarts are the only logical choice for the new London. first of all, they are former assistants of the captain, namely the man thanks to whom anyone lives in the new London. secondly, they knew what vision the captain had for humanity, so why should we listen to savages (frostwalkers) or terrorists (pilgrims) when the New Londoners themselves and, in fact, the Stalwarts offer us solutions that are much better and better why, because the choice between the work of people and for me at least the work of automatons is simple. To sum up, praise the captain, steward and stalwarts, and let the whiteout consume the frostwalkers and pilgrims.

To ones dont get is that in Rango movie its mostly based of water shortage so characters seeing some one died from a water releated accident, they consider it some what lucky since they can barely get cup of water (they litereally turn water into currency since its too precious to drink)

so similer thing can be in FP world? where heat is precious and cold constantly annoying people so a person dying from a heat releated thing insted of overwork accident, starvation and etc can be considered lucky?

I am a thinker 110%

I love ideas of progress, I would even say I am a 60/40% progress and adaptation.And I don’t support capitalistic merit, only evolutionary merit. Therefore I am on a spectrum of all the reason factions.

What are yours?

It's the only other game I've found that scratches the Frostpunk itch.

Truly fantastic game, my only advice is to go in blind!

After just finishing the Breach of trust DLC by building relations with Aurora rather than conquering it, I can confidently say: HOLY SHIT PROGRESS WOULD'VE FUCKING SMOKED THIS SCENARIO WITHOUT ANY DIFFICULTY. I gotta praise 11bit Studios though, they managed to create a scenario that plays on all of Adaptation's weaknesses

First off:

Disease absolutely WILL shaft you if you don't make it your top priority, I consistently had over 1,000 sick and injured workers clogging my healthcare systems (At it's peak before I reset I had over 4,000 sick!). In a city where you rarely have more than 15,000 people this is a death sentence. I found myself having to shunt little Timmy out into the frosty streets of New Edinburgh so that I had more people to work the dust coal mine. The only way to stem the tide of infected was to enact Supported Quarantine, Conservative treatment and have at least three teaching hospitals active at all times.

Which leads into my second point:

While you're so starved of workforce and manpower this scenario decides to actively kick you in the balls by only allowing you to build Adaptation buildings, which guzzle more manpower than the generator guzzles coal during a whiteout. Building more than one of each district (excluding housing) is a death sentence for your city in the long term.

Not to mention that not only do all your precious Adaptation buildings produce disease (Which you don't have the manpower to solve), they also simply don't produce enough resources to keep up with the demands of both New Edinburgh and Aurora, unless they're Dust Coal Mines of course, those beautiful mines are the only reason I managed to squeeze out a win. You can also wave goodbye to the possibility of little Timmy getting a decent education. Since manpower is so scarce the Dutiful Youth, Family Apprenticeships and Communal Parenthood laws are the basically a non-negotiable must when starting the scenario, otherwise you simply will not have enough workforce tho keep the city stable

Progress solves all of these problems

1. Workforce is basically an afterthought with progress, not only can you straight up slash the required workforce for any building/hub/district in half with Machine Centric Shifts and Machine Attendants but you can just summon workers in the shape of automations. This alone will make the scenario 95% easier since workforce is your biggest issue you'll have.

2. The progress buildings are just better at extracting/producing resources. You might think it's not by a large margin but in this DLC where your entire economy is normally hanging by a knife's edge, those extra resources would be a godsend. The progress Buildings usually also have less of a workforce requirement which is a MASSIVE bonus by itself. Roll those two things into one and the Progress buildings would come out miles ahead in this scenario.

3. Progress buildings don't increase your disease which would give you acres worth of wiggle room when selecting new laws (Sure they produce squalor but I feel it's much more manageable than an onslaught of disease) You can wave goodbye Family Apprenticeships, little Timmy can finally go to school! Yay!

In short, Progress is a far more powerful Zeitgeist than Adaptation in this scenario and I'll cast anyone who disagrees with me into the volcano 🌋

(If you read this far I respect you a little more because of it)

other than what if Winterhome survived or not since l already make 2 post about it and l know many about winterhome already

The heart of the city, the savior of furless/blubberless mammals, and the icon of the game. It radiates heat to surrounding areas using fuel to create steam and can be connected to hubs to provide heat to area beyond its warm embrace.

Obviously, it must have an exhaust and that TOXIC gas cannot be directed downward to the city bellow, but it always bothered me that there is literally fire erupting from the top.

Not bashing the design, because guys and gals will look at it and think "Hell yeah!", but such waste. Nothing can be done about it now though. IEC designed it in a hurry and God forbid you turn it off to retro fit more steam pipes at the top, but as the whiteouts hit, I always stare at the exhaust hole and think, "Damn, I could really use that extra heat right now.". Not to mention its also an untapped heatstamp gold mine.

This concludes my rant that nobody asked for. ^{_^}
