Frostpunk 2 Beginner Guide
Your first hours in the Frostland are about one thing: keeping a city alive while the ice and your own people push back. These steps take you from the generator to your first Council vote without running out of heat, fuel or trust.
- 1
Frostbreak the ice around the Generator to open up space. Every new district needs cleared ground, so plan your expansion before you commit workforce.
- 2
Build the core districts first. You need Housing for shelter, Food for rations, Extraction for fuel and materials, and Industrial for goods and prefabs.
- 3
Keep fuel flowing to the Generator. Coal runs out, so start scouting and setting up oil and other fuel sources early.
- 4
Watch your city's needs, including Cold, Squalor, Disease and Crime. Fix them with hubs and district upgrades before they turn into unrest.
- 5
Stockpile food, fuel and heat before a Whiteout. Temperatures crash during these storms, and a city with empty reserves won't make it through.
- 6
Pick research in the Research Institute that matches the laws you plan to pass. Each faction rewards different ideas.
- 7
Take laws to the Council Hall and line up votes with factions before you call a session. Keep an eye on Trust and Tension.
