help Frostpunk FAQ

What happens if the generator runs out of coal in Frostpunk?

The generator shuts down, causing temperatures in homes and workplaces to fall and increasing illness and death. Players can assign workers to coal piles, build Coal Thumpers and Gathering Posts, or research Coal Mines to stabilize supply.

Should I choose Order or Faith in Frostpunk?

Order uses structures such as Guard Stations and Propaganda Centres to control discontent, while Faith relies on Houses of Prayer and religious authority to build hope. Both paths can keep the city together, but their final laws risk crossing the line into authoritarian rule.

Why is the Londoners event important in A New Home?

The Londoners movement begins after residents learn that the approaching Great Storm may destroy the city, prompting some to plan a return to London. The player must raise hope, reduce discontent, and use Order or Faith abilities before the group departs.

Is Frostpunk a turn-based strategy game?

No, it is a real-time survival city-builder with pause and multiple time-speed controls. Developed by 11 bit studios and released in 2018, it combines heat management, resource chains, exploration, laws, and scripted crises.
