InFrostpunk, your town will have to face numerous hazards.
The most obvious one is cold but there are other, more problematic dangers, such as diseases.
Cold
This is the most basic hazard in the game.
Your town is almost entirely covered in ice which means that keeping a certain temperature is very important.
Buildings that are affected by low temperature should be placed close to it, e.g.
Cookhouse or Medical Post.
A Generator has a few upgrades that increase its reach and temperature that it can create.
All these upgrades can be found in “Heating” part of the technology tree.
Each unlocked upgrade is activated instantly.
However, it’s possible for you to make changes to a Generator whenever you want.
However, you should control how much steam it generates.
There is no point in keeping the highest steam level when the temperature is around -30C.
Heaters and Steam Hub are additional technologies that allow you to create heat in your town.
The first method gives industrial buildings their own sources of heat that can be activated whenever you want.
This will increase temperature inside of a building (this depends on a level of this technology).
What is more, a Steam Hub can be set to work in periodical operating mode.
Thanks to that it won’t work during nights when nearby buildings are inactive.
Each method of providing heat requires a certain amount of coal.
Your coal balance can be viewed in the Economy screen.
Check out “Coal” chapter to learn how to extract coal efficiently.
This is a very dangerous situation to overcome and it can get out of control pretty fast.
Quickly identify a source of problem when you notice that number of starving citizens is increasing rapidly.
The “Economy” screen allows you to check out your current amount of food.
If that problem is resulting from an inactive Cookhouse then you have good chances in solving this situation.
Simply find a problem that causes this building to be inactive.
it’s possible for you to do that by assigning new workers or by increasing temperature in it.
After that the building will work again.
Problems with buildings that produce raw food are much worse.
You may run into a problem where you don’t have enough raw food.
Add more workers to every single building that provides food.
You should also place another building that gathers food, preferably Flying Hunters because they have the best efficiency.
Thanks to that you will get more raw food.
You will have to wait additional 24 hours for your first bigger shipment of raw food to arrive.
By doing that you will be able to get more edible food from the same amount of raw food.
Diseases
The frozen world ofFrostpunkalso has a huge impact on your citizens' health.
Also, your citizens can have various accidents during work that will have a negative impact on their health.
Having an adequate medical care is very important.
Medical Post is the most basic building for that.Every ill person will be treated there.
The first option is recommended when you are focusing on efficiency.
The second option increases citizens' content.
It gives you a new building where all terminally ill citizens are moved into.
It unlocks a new medical building where even the regular workers can work.
