Complete Defending the Old Dreadnought's Oil in frostpunk 2. Choose to supply 30,000 Oil or defend against The Wanderers.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Option 1: Promise to Deliver them Oil
    • You must amass 30,000 Oil within the Old Dreadnought in 48 weeks.
  2. 2
    Ensure you are extracting as much Oil as possible by building Extraction Districts on all three Oil deposits.
  3. 3
    Transfer Workforce from New London if necessary.
  4. 4
    Expand each Extraction District to increase output, noting the increased Heat Demand and Workforce cost.
  5. 5
    Research and build Pumpjack Extraction buildings in the Idea Tree and place them in Extraction Districts.
  6. 6
    Build several Fuel Stockpile Hubs in the Hubs section of the interface to store at least 30,000 Oil. Building these close to Extraction Districts decreases Workforce demand.
  7. 7
    Option 2: Defend Our Oil
    • You need to defend the Old Dreadnought from The Wanderers.
  8. 8
    Method A: Set up defenses in the Old Dreadnought.
    • Research and build Watchtowers in the Idea Tree. One basic Watchtower grants 12 Guard Squads, which is the number needed.
  9. 9
    Ensure you have a Housing District at the Old Dreadnought Colony and expand it to place buildings.
  10. 10
    You may need to send Workforce from New London to help set up defenses.
  11. 11
    Method B: Use Frostland Teams.
    • If you have Logistics Districts set up, check the Frostland map for a new event near the Old Dreadnought.
  12. 12
    Send 12 Guard Squads and Frostland Teams to deal with the threat. This uses resources from New London.
Tips
  • Transferring Workforce from New London is often necessary for both options.
  • Increasing your Workforce via Laws or adjusting demand/output at Districts can be beneficial.
  • Building Fuel Stockpile Hubs close to Extraction Districts decreases Workforce demand.
  • The Wanderers may be a threat if ignored, potentially cutting off your main fuel supply before the Whiteout.
