Frostpunk: Guide The Londoners Crisis

AntMag.NET

This guide will help you navigate the challenging 'The Londoners Crisis' scenario in Frostpunk. We'll cover the essential steps to ensure your city's survival and success.

Walkthrough

1
Initial Setup: Immediately after starting, pause the game. Assign your workers to gather coal and wood. Ensure your generator is running and research is prioritized.
2
Managing Discontent and Hope: Keep a close eye on your Discontent and Hope meters. Pass the 'Soup Kitchen' law early to boost Hope and manage food shortages. Consider 'Rationing' if necessary but be mindful of the Hope impact.
3
The Londoners Arrive: Prepare for the influx of Londoners. Ensure you have enough housing and food to accommodate them. Their arrival will significantly increase your population and resource demands.
4
The Cold Snap: As the temperature drops, you'll face a severe cold snap. Upgrade your generator's heating range and ensure all buildings are adequately heated. Research 'Steam Hubs' to extend heating coverage.
5
The Sick: A significant portion of the Londoners will be sick. Build 'Medical Posts' and research 'Field Hospitals' to cope with the rising number of sick citizens. Prioritize healthcare to prevent widespread illness and death.
6
Maintaining Order: With a large, desperate population, Discontent can skyrocket. Pass laws like 'Public Order' or 'Guard Towers' to manage this. Address citizen needs promptly to keep Hope high.
7
Resource Management: Continuously balance resource gathering (coal, wood, steel, food) with construction and research. Upgrade your gathering buildings and research efficiency upgrades.
8
The Final Push: The scenario culminates in a final challenge. Ensure your city is stable, your people are warm and fed, and your Discontent is low. Make critical decisions based on your current resources and the needs of your citizens.

Tips

Prioritize research that directly impacts resource gathering and heating efficiency.
Always have a buffer of essential resources, especially coal and food.
Scout the surrounding areas early to find additional resource deposits and potential survivors.
Don't be afraid to pass controversial laws if they are necessary for survival, but be prepared to manage the consequences.
Keep your citizens employed and warm to maintain Hope and minimize Discontent.
