Not only that, as you upgrade to higher technology, the exploitation of different resources will be more closely linked together, when coal mining projects often take a lot of steel and wood to build. You must not be overlooked, because if you do not heat health facilities and homes, it will delay resource extraction, or make it impossible to convert raw food into servings. The game also has a mechanism where you send expeditions to the outside world to collect resources, thereby telling players more interesting but equally … desperate stories.Įven though you have to manage 5 different types of resources, you will never find it too complicated – except coal.īecause after a certain number of days you have to keep the heater on or else the population will get sick, and as the city gets bigger you have to build more steam hubs that consume more coal, and this is weak. Of the 4 resources you can exploit (except ration), there are facilities for large-scale mining using a particularly rare resource called “steam core”. Raw food cannot be consumed but is converted to serving sizes, namely 1 unit / 1 serving or 1 unit / 2 servings depending on the law you grant. Wood and steel are used to build houses and upgrade them, coal is used for heating and only begins to be consumed when you turn on the heater. The main mechanism of the game revolves around you exploiting the resources around that fireplace to maintain the city, namely that there are 5 main types of resources for you to manage are coal, steel, wood, food, and part. You are The Captain, leading a group of devastated people, from adults to children, men to women, traveling through the snow-white desert to find a place to build a giant fireplace, so everyone can give birth survive this cold winter.Īnd the game starts after you’ve built that heater.įrostpunk’s main game mode is “A New Home” when you have to start building a city around that giant fireplace. So how excellent is Frostpunk, with Biareview find out!Ī new ice age has come, and humanity is pushed to the brink of destruction by the harsh and cruel cold.
