Players can rule with an iron fist or with more generous ideals, but Frostpunk is the kind of series that will punish players who take the high ground.īased on Frostpunk 2’s gruesome trailer, which depicts what seems to be a previous leader, bound up and frozen to death in the snow, the series’ brutal tone will remain intact for the sequel. The world is frozen over, and citizens need to gather coal to increase the engine’s output or risk freezing to death in their homes. In Frostpunk, players build a circular city centered around an engine.

The original Frostpunk launched to critical acclaim in 2018 on PC 11 bit studios eventually ported the game to consoles and added numerous expansion packs. Societies that were once built on coal will now be built on oil, and leaders will need quiet any rebellions that question their rule. The sequel takes place 30 years after the story in the original game, and will see players lead another society through the newly imposed ice age. You could do it, but much of the way the game currently works would need to be re-worked.Oil is coming to the apocalyptic world of Frostpunk in 11 bit studios’ reveal trailer for Frostpunk 2. Being able to actually use a bed would be based on availability. This brings up another point - you can't just multiply the number of houses by 10 and compare or to your population. You would also need to hot-bunk so would need many less beds. You would have to over-assign personnel or 'prioritize'. With stamina, you wouldn't be able to just assign a workforce of 10 people to a workplace. You end up with a single prioritized workplace taking up a significant amount of your personnel, but with potentially near-100% uptime. All the workplaces are individual, and as one person get tired/hungry another can take over. The mechanics would have to change greatly for individual stamina to work.įor example, see Planetbase. FP is based on having an assigned crew with solid hours for your work places, and people sleeping over night. I agree with the move speed, but not the stamina. Anything that distracts the worker from working will simply make him/her spend the work hours later (up to a point). hence, if a worker starts working at 10:00 and has a 10 hour shift, s/he will keep working until 20:00 instead of the usual 18:00. There is no fixed time at which workers stop working. If a worker starts working, his/her fatigue pool fills up over time, until it is full. This pool fills up as workers spend time at their workplace at a rate corresponding to the time it takes to finish their designated shift. instead of having fixed workshift hours, workers have a fatigue pool that increases when they are actually working. Remove it from Survival mode if this conflicts with the 'no pausing' mechanic in your views. add a new game speed at 0.1x the level 1 speed, for people who want to see the citizens going about their day at realistic speed. This makes the impact of point 1 much less severe and prevents things like citizens dying due to lack of treatment because movement is taking up a significant amount of their time. A worker should realistically be able to traverse the whole city within an hour. increase worker movement speed by about 10x. all movement actions distract workers from actually working, this simply makes sense.

Players should be able to use their brain to figure out what is happening, not finally find out through trial and error how the game's questionable quicks play out.

This should not depend on whether the person is going to work, or going to eat before having been assigned a workplace (this somehow has a different result from eating before being assigned a workplace?!) same for automatons charging at a steam core. Please make it consistent whether it matters that a citizen is moving to his destination or not. I quite frankly struggle to find a better word for the current situation than 'broken'.

Devs, if you're reading this, please focus on fixing the game's highly questionable citizen movement mechanics.
