Frostpunk season pass7/16/2023 You are in control of an outpost, away from the generator, next to an old army installation. It acts as somewhat of a sequel to the main story, continuing the overall narrative arc. The last part of the season pass is called On the Edge. You can also play this mode as an endless variant to see just how long you can survive. You also learn to be more efficient, using less space and saving resources, to counteract the shortfalls. It definitely adds difficulty and an extra layer of strategy, deciding where to build bridges and when. This means that you will spend more time, resources, and manpower to access the same areas available to you in the default mode. The map contains rifts in the land, requiring you to build bridges to cross to the other side. This is essentially a harder, more advanced way to play the main story from the base game. Most of the important decisions had to do with the construction project, especially with how to react to accidents and setbacks. Overall, I quite enjoyed this aspect of the overall story, and the fact that it is a little easier overall. It becomes a tense few days trying to complete the project and keep everyone alive and happy. A few days before that point, the water freezes, cutting off your supplies. Your main goal is to build the generator before it gets too cold. This means that you don’t need to worry about supplies as much. You have access to shipping ports, constantly unloading supplies. It is a prequel to the overall story of the game, with slightly different mechanics. Now that a quick explanation of the base game is out of the way, it’s onto the DLC. Resources are automatically stockpiled, so you don’t need to worry about supply lines like other games. Although roads only need to connect buildings to each other, workers take relatively direct routes, which can be slower if you don’t build roads there. Do you put them to work at safe jobs like in the cook house or build a children’s home for them to drain resources without contributing to society? Weather conditions are extra important in the game as well, with increasingly cold conditions shutting down some activities like fishing and increasing the chances of sickness and even death for the citizens. You can sign laws, choosing the order to do so and which side to take on mutually exclusive ones, like what to do with children. Otherwise, it’s city layout is in concentric circles as opposed to square city blocks of other games. I find that it has more of a story or narrative than most others that I have played. Frostpunk is a post-apocalyptic city building Simulator with a few differences from others in the genre. I will start with a quick overview of the base game for those unfamiliar with it. So this one will feel a little different. This will be my first piece of coverage for a piece of DLC, without also covering the base game.
