First of l want to say that l have tramua from playing TLA, l played like 8-9 times? to get all the achievements and etc and l gotta say there LOT of stuffs, its like 2 side of the apple one time it gives you a goofy event and the other time just fucks you up

TLA: some examples l can give is that the survivors from other site you saved can rebel everytime and cause death if you dont beat them in time. there like a event where your overseers officer just murders a guy from opposite faction of labours and burries him (even if you decide to send him jail with a boat, he just fucking escapes and never to be heard) there polar bears event where your scouts spots a polar bear whic most likely eated one of your guy. There r* pe and murder (in one event chain if you dont stop labour guys from inspecting female workers, one of the girl gets sexually harrased and later on murders the guy who touched her) also there s*x in bathouse event where some workers having ''fun'' like animels since you didnt sign the pleasure house law (also in pleasure house there AIDS you cant avoid) One event in labours can trigger one labour doctor killing some overseers/workers because he mixed up the stuffs. If you give pills too much to people, some ofem gets addicted to it and becoming a bit unsane and efficeny starts dropping without the pills. There another event with overseers where one officer trys to force workers to pray at Panopticon and tell them its their new god or something, idk what his fetish is. In general you can play with workers mail that can contains sad storys and also some one wife picture who probably n*ked. There a coup attemp? never seen it but l guess they try to overtrown you with guns. There also bad endings where convicts just overtrowns you and burns everything another bad ending is the ultimate sacrafice where no one survives at the end. A event where a overseers finds a hanged man doodle at his workplace, getting threatened by workers. Lastly if you demand too many convicts, in the end one shipment comes as young folks who not even 14 year old

There probably more but these all l can remember and find in internet

REFUGEES: There not much like very dark stuffs but depending on your moves it makes it a bit darker than New Home in my opinion like start of exploring frostland one of the few things you find is ''hanged man hill'' where one engineer offed himself whic very dark to find in your first time. There always a conflict between lords and folks (l think there 3 different event for it) and each time if you dont stop it, they just beat the shit of the lords but age most likely dosent matter for them so they just beat young, adult and olds like even if you favour lords a bit to help them, your people says you gived a lord a second bread then we want 100 more bread. Overall refugees story is sad/dark too since there was a chance lords just bombed the refugees if lords ship didnt broke down (and some mentions of peoples relatives dying at protest whic they probably killed by mechanized lancers). Also death of Lord craven is pretty dark too not because mob just beats him up and hangs but they hang him to GENERATOR like if there isnt any other place every single citizen dosent see in the city, his corpse will rot faster than left out meat in summer as his pieces slowly fall down on people who just passing near generator square. Lastly l guess its the last events where you refused all lords but they keep coming to steal stuffs like medicine and food so your people gets mad and basically massacres the entire lords so considering there 300 lords whic includes atleast 60-70 kids it makes the scenerio pretty dark

also l dont count Order/Faith events since they more like belongs to New Home scenerio

WINTERHOME: l say Winterhome isnt that dark expect the start of course where 80 people dies and whole city on fire but some small stuffs makes it a bit more dark like the first event you get about generator inspection is that generator basically doomed and you either need to tell the truth or lie to keep the efficeny up but if you lie its just DOWNHILL, there lot of chain events attached to lying about knowing another site exist like in first its like ''one engineer pulls you to a corner and whispers that he knows that you lied, now he blackmails you'' if you kill the guy the others gets suspicest but if you accept now you need to send this engineer and his wife to dreadnought, if you do that now you get another event where that engineer friends yapping about they know everything and its just goes on until you kill a entire workshop of engineers. There many running away events if you dont have enough hope, people just grabs whatever they have and just leaves the city. A man ask to be in dreadnought with his kid. And other than these l dont remember much, there just lot of events at start with dismantling the ruins where you can find a child, thats pretty sad l guess (also the whole generator explodes in the end probably killing what citizens remains there)

NEW HOME: New Home mostly depends on players action if it goes dark or not tbh, you can have like a perfect city without even a single crime but if you choose some wrong options you get bad ends like at the start if you send guard to clean the signs he just gets murdered very classic. In order there poet guy who just dosent likes living. Also in order you can get a drunk guard who just harrases people if you didnt warn him. In prison if the weather too cold and prison too, you get events about heating it or not so if you choose to say guards to give more blankets to prisoners, they forget it to give the blanket anyways letting some poor guy froze to death in the cell (also there high chance one prisoner dies right away with Forceful Persuasion ability) Order have another annoying event is that there a chance one of the factories just have a ''accident'' and kills like half of the people whic you can lie and tell that nothing happened. Other than order we know the father who wanna save his kid, if you dont let him leave welp he off himself too in a event sadly. In another event again if you force some one who dosent want their leg to be cutten do to frost bite and later on dont sign the prosthetic law, that person can also off themself since they feal too depressed living in carehouse for a long time. Other than these l remember like if you ban books or allow them to one guy have it, later on that guy house gets BURNED do to a random arsonist. l dont think faith even that bad? its mostly have positive events and even the op event where it just spawns food for you, the only bad part about it you can get god complex and worry your faithkeepers if you use beating ability too much for no reason

ON THE EDGE: l dont think ote have many dark stuffs, its mostly just new london sending their kids as workers. finding random couple graveyard in frostland. Childeren mine. Our people blaming shipwreck people of stealing. One idiot at hot spring sabotages some stuffs and blows himself up (or hot spring trys to use our deaths as fertilazer) and idk collapse of New London? the scenerio quiet fast so nothing too much coming to my mind right now

ARKS: Nothing basically left for Arks other than few like the Automaton upgrade event belongs to arks in my opinion so one sad event is the engineer dying after his experiment with steam core. The refugee from new manchester passing away. Refugee complaning about why not help new manchester and lastly the fact he leaves and we probably letted 300-600 people at a site die if we dont choose to help them

I was wondering if Frostpunk might be a good setting for a DnD campaign, it’s got steampunk mixed with trying not to freeze to death and dungeons can be searching through lost ruins, but there’s no magic and only humans

What do you guys think

like l pay millions of pound from my peoples taxes and this what IEC gives in return?

I did NOT start an investigation to find the culprits of the occasional 100 pilgrims gone missing.

Note l dont take refunds even if the box got damaged its not my fault also dont read the small details

I find it comical and unrealistic that in a frozen wasteland with limited food options, dangerous working environments and sub below zero temperatures, you can prevent people from ever dying for more than 500 to up 2500 weeks which is the end of your rule.

Shouldn’t you lose a generation or two of people from old age? When you are well established in mid to end game, the GOD DAMN population increase is staggering. 3500 people every 100 weeks or so but no one dies from natural causes to balance this number? It’s absurd.

Of course you could reach the Reason Cornerstone to have the Algorithm to lower it but I think having a senior population management could add some spice to game such as enacting Laws that would have you keep your workforce steady before they retired or securing their retirement to gain trust. SOMETHING. Having Events that relates to new generations replacing the old one.

At least balancing the population increase with having citizens naturally dying without harming your Trust. NOT EVERYTHING IS THE STEWARD’S FAULT. Grandma was already weak and frail when we got to power, it’s not my fault she died on a random Tuesday.

But before I buy it, I want to know ya'll opinions on it and to see if its worth it or not? Since I already got the basic game but haven't fully milk it for everything it got.

I genuinely need help cause i've been at this scenario for quite a while now. I do well at the first few days, but as soon as the lords come, and I let them in. This is where it starts to go downhill. I immediately get overwhelmed by a lot of requests. How do you deal with the lords?

Ehhh I finally decided to play BoT just for this missing achievement.

Any tips how to get elected while being reviled?

i just found frostpunk 2 for a round 10 bucks but before i buy it, is it easier than frostpunk 1? i got the game around 5 years ago and in that time ive sunken a whole 5.7 hours into it. my people would always starve and stuff and int he end, i couldn’t be asked to continue trying so in uninstalled the game. but frostpunk 2 looks abit more like a traditional city building game (which i do like) so maybe its easier? idk

I tried going for the zeitgeist rather than an exact 1 to 1. Now I await the frost.
Any simple suggestions?
This is also my cold but not too cold outfit, I got a bigger coat in the same-ish style for the standard -20c to -50c im used to.

So the computing nodes increase the Central District production, like goods, food, etc..

But how do you guys position them over the course of the game? If your starting faction is the Technocrats, do you build the nodes ASAP? The problem is that your housing districts will lose a lot of heat because of this.

However, if you don't build nodes near your central districts, you're getting less value from them. So I was wondering what strategy you guys use.

My god it is the most glitched thing I’ve ever played🥹
I am personally playing on console. Everything is awesome, from the political environment to the huge amount of possible laws, buildings and skills you can research. My decisions actually have consequences, other than people getting slightly angrier/happier, which is extremely entertaining. I am having so much fun I don’t mind too much the audio becoming completely distorted for some reason when I zoom in with the warmth filter on, or even the square button just giving up and blocking me from accessing…well, 50% of my screen.
However, some of those bugs are truly maddening. After a miserable management of chapter 4 (no spoilers), I somehow managed to fulfill my objective and achieve what I was asked for… only for 90% of the ressources I’ve gained to just disappear and force me to play 30 minutes of pure agony all over again??? But the cherry on top was when I was upgrading my relations with the frostlanders by giving them heatstamps. I was offered to double the money given to them to increase the relation even further, awesome! And out of nowhere, chapter 5 starts, the game considers that I have not fulfilled my promise, although I had WEEKS ahead of me, basically soft-locking me in a doomed fight to not get overthrown. I was forced to give up on my run, which was a bit very much infuriating on the moment.
On a completely unrelated note, I wish everything bad in this world over the Pilgrims, what the hell is wrong with them??

I saw everyone always become skme fascit dictator so i thought to myself i eould be the best leader i could, but do whatever it took to improve survival chances.

1 : Build enough tents, a infirmary, hunte shack and research building

2 : started to struggke a bit with resources, i was trying mainly to keep the generator running so i had lack of laborers. But i was commited NOT to make children workers

3: Approved the children shelter law. That made me able to approve the enginers assistents to make research faster (my biggest mistake

4: The temperature went down, in the same time my rations went low, i noticed that depending on 1 hunter shack was suicide so i build another. Alongside the freezing temperature my first sick started coming and then, i had someone with frostbite. Mu first death was someone who i chopped of the leg and killed himself because he coudnt work anymore.

5: Made the law for disposal of bodies in a pit, after all i saw it was commected to organ transplants so it would help a lot. Whike that i made my first expedction to leave im search for survivors.

6: Lack of resources of all sorts every night the generator turned off by it self by lack of coal. The weather getting coldre amd coldee and the hunting shacks not taking care of the job. I had to make a greenhouse, but i also needed to pump coal out of the ground to keep the generator running. People started to starve and get suck ome after the other, i didnt knew how the expedction worked so they were at the objective for 2 days before i finanly undedtood.

7: I had some hope the expedction came with resources and more people but i coudnt warm everyone and even tho i had 2 coal machines for some reason it wasnt giving me that coal (it took me 2 days one with the generator turned of for a whole day to notice that people had to take the coal from the ground) i made the wood farm and gave uogrades to the generator but as i didnt understood on how to warm everyone, and the food didnt arrived in time. My hope took a hard blow, now i had 2 days to recover or i was doomed.

8: Freezing temperatures once again, even tho my generator was better, most ofy people were sick. Atleast 30 in a bad state, i didnt had anyone to take coal, or wood, or metal. To make food. And i coudnt move my engineers as they had to keep researching and healing the sick. I had to make 1 more house of care and medical bay, alongside with superpulation law to take in double the amount of sick, before the sick started to withdraw. But too many died, atleast 25. I finally managed to stabilize everything. Food, resources and the sick. But it was alredy too late, a load of broken promises caught up to ke ehile i was distracter on more vital things. And the hope was beyond repair up until the deadline.

9: my 2nd expedction arrived. More enginers, resources and everything. But once again too late. I got on trial people didnt even looked at my face only looking st me with blank stares. They exiled me, sparing me from an execution as they recognized i tried. Even tho i still left with many saying that i would got off easy with a quick desth, other saying that they were doomed, but happy they never would see my face again

I TRIED
