When I started I didn’t see the Beacon as an emergency research, overtime you will find out its basically how you get free resources and of course People. Reasoning behind this is of course faster resource collection, and the Beacon to get a jump ahead on scouting the Frost lands. There are different choices to make on research for a first pick, I most commonly pick Beacon or Faster Gathering. On completion you can research anything you want at higher than 100% research ratio’s. Leave behind at least 10 engineers to work in the workshops once built. Assign during construction most of the workers out to collect resources, this will force them to build prior to collecting resources. The best start I have found and as most players will say, start on constructing workshops in the tech tab. Your first move is generally to collect resources, just wait though! Do keep in mind many of the pro’s and others that play at higher levels of the game will say the start is crucial to getting you on the right foot. Once you have loaded into the scenario you will have 80 people at your disposal. One thing I have managed in several saves are the Londoners are gone by day 20, which then leaves me other time to focus on getting endgame ready. I generally work off days, after day 4 the temperature drops for the first time etc. Once you learn the way or order that the script runs you will learn to have your city developed to certain points and levels to combat against these things. The frost lands unlocking locations in specific order.The temperature rapidly dropping towards the endgame.Having to choose between Faith or Order.Winterhome “we are alone” activating the Londoners.So here are some things I have noticed whilst playing that are an automatic script. So avoiding the place because of the Londoners may be a smart choice, but will only buy you time before the event runs anyway. This will happen regardless if you come across Winterhome from your scouting party, or if you stay away from the place all together. So in more detail, you will learn about people from Winterhome not making it through the cold, sparking your people into unrest that they are all alone in the winter lands.
The script though will still run if you manage to maneuver around certain actions. Not long later I had finished many runs and accomplished more with ease, as well as unlocking achievements along the way.Īnyway before we kick off just remember there is no right or wrong way to play out Frost Punk, but you may come up with some new techniques to take into the Frozen world and achieve greatness….that being surviving the elements of course! Game ScriptĪlright so as before I mentioned that the game runs on a script, and your probably wondering what do I mean by this?Īs you progress through the main story “A New Home” the game will generally move with your choices and directions that you guide your people.įor example working your people in the open with temperatures lower than -30 degrees people will get frost bite, which will then push you towards making medical choices in the book of laws. I won’t lie, it took me quite a few goes at the main story before I really grasped what was happening or working against me. Do keep in mind that the main story is scripted to run in a certain way of events, so you should aim to develop your style whilst meeting the demands of the game. If you have played already you will find that you generally approach the game with your own style of play, and that’s fine….so you should. I will look to cover the main surviving basics to get you over the line in “A New Home” scenario. Those looking for more advanced content may not find that here. Do keep in mind this guide is designed for Newbs/Beginners to the world of Frost Punk. Hello and welcome to my guide on Frost Punk.
So if your very fresh to Frost Punk this guide is right for you, but if you are experienced you may find it a tad boring. There is already a lot of content available for the more developed players, but I noticed when I begun there was’t really much available on the basics of the game.
This guide is a how to for Newbs/Beginners on how to survive the punishing cold elements of Frost Punk.
