Katharine: I stuck my kiddies in a children's shelter and made them apprentice medics, thinking that would be a way to ease my very, VERY limited supply of engineers, but it WAS NOT.īrendan: If there was a cold snap and I couldn't heat the gathering posts, the city's children would usually get relieved and I'd replace them with workers, if possible. I was keeping the “weins do all jobs” law in my back pocket as an emergency measure, a backup plan if my workforce was suddenly stricken down by sickness or a nasty event. In the book of laws, that’s where I stopped developing the “children as a workforce” idea. Katharine: Did you conscript all your children to go down the coal mines, Brendan? Because judging by the tone of our conversation, I can imagine that's something you probably did.īrendan: No, they did work in the kitchens and had a jolly time collecting coal from piles on the surface, but I didn’t throw them down the mines. Matt: Right, I’m going to go and stock my own fridge full of organs. I'm guessing you can check the name on tombstones? He must have had someone there.īrendan: No names, just future organs. ![]() Katharine: When I built my cemetery, I had a small boy sit there all night looking sad. Because I wanted the space.īrendan: And then a woman started crying because she saw her frozen dead husband again.īrendan: He's way outside the heatzone now. I don't think things are improving either.īrendan: To be fair, we did have to dig up the bodies after burying them the first time. At one point, someone seemed to be dying every single hour. My cemetery is stuffed with about 70 so far. Katharine: Haha, you're doing far better than I. Only 2 people died in the founding of our city. It's pretty grim, but it's still a lot less bleak than This War of Mine.īrendan: My place began fine. Luckily, I think I'm coming through the other side now. Katharine: Things got a bit better after that initial, accidental cull, though, so I carried on, only for it to go horribly wrong again about an hour later when a minus 70 degree cold snap meant I had to hurriedly research better heating. Matt: Hah, yeah I'm abandoning my dudes to their frozen fate. Instead, they were forced to wade through the never-ending snow drifts. All this time, my workers could have been walking on actual roads to gather their coal, wood and steel. I probably should have, as I also didn't know you could build streets until about 30 minutes in, and it was even later when I discovered they didn't have to snake around existing buildings. That might have something to do with the imminent rebellion I'm now facing. Katharine: I sent my people to go and gather coal, to stockpile 200 like it said, and only realised after people started dying that, 'Oh, I could have turned on the generator almost as soon as I'd started collecting it'. Matt: I’m glad I’m not the only one who did that! After accidentally letting a third of my survivors die in the first 15 minutes because I didn't know I could turn the generator on, I needed as many non-police workers as I can get. ![]() Does Order and Discipline mean I'm going to have to start training police or gang bosses who simply have stern words with their fellow workers? Who knows. Katharine: I've started building some churches as well, but only because the 'Faith and Spirituality' path for dealing with everyone's sudden depression over the whole 'Actually, everyone is dead' revelation sounded slightly less woolly than the ambiguous 'Order and Discipline' route. Matt: So far I’ve bought it, played for 15 mins, then realised I was too tired to grasp everything and stopped so my people wouldn’t suffer because of it. I built a big church and now my people want the priests to be in charge of crime and punishment.Īlice : You'll want a medium-sized church, they're only into singing and communion wine. Katharine: Were you also playing Frostpunk into the early hours, Brendan? Did you feel the cold creep into your weary, weary bones?īrendan: I might’ve been. SPOILER WARNING: Cold details of the story await.īrendan : Hello, friends. ![]() Here, city bosses Katharine, Matt and Brendan discuss how they kept their people alive and whether they’ll play again. But it also isn’t the steam-powered morality trolley it often tries to be. We especially like the warm feeling it gives us when you switch to heatmap mode and see the temperature rise in your new houses. Snow and coal simulator Frostpunk has gripped a few of us in its cold prosthetic claws over the past week.
