Thanks to 11Bit for providing this Preview version. I love Frostpunk, and have run many extreme challenges and absurd handicaps, such as no generator, no food, carbon neutral... You can find them all on this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLm0MDLKuRDrm4cnTNARZMDHF-nviVfDQj.html I'm also open to new Frostpunk Challenges. If you have any to mind, post them here.
Oh yeah!( remembered Mark with fondness) that time we used to sacrifice people to keep motivation up, it was so wild back at the generator. Kids today wouldnt understand.
I know I’m multiple years late, but I’m really enjoying these! So, if you ever look back at comments on old videos, know they entertained someone, and you have my thanks!
The "Refugees" scenario touched on class divides, but didn't really explore them properly, so its nice to see a more fleshed-out scenario working on that idea. 😁👍
You say that the icebreaker not coming would be the Frostpunk way of a sad ending, but I dunno, I think I would rather stay by it and return to freeze to death in civilization. All those workers cheering... hopefully that 'burning fervor' they have works in -120C.
To be fair, they didn’t know it would come to that. As a peasant in that time, you’d think that your country is undefeatable, even by the great frost. They made that generator as a last resort, but never really realized that it might need to be used.
I don't know if you'd reply to this message, however after getting this game on xbox I could barley finish the scenarios on easy. Since watching all of your videos all the tips, explanations and the time you take has upped my game so much to the point I'm onto winter hell extreme now. Can't wait to play last autumn but have to wait for it. Thankyou and keep up the great work.!
One way to reduce discontent is to let your people eat. In endless it's not a big deal, but with double shifts, people are actually working 24 hours, they have no time to eat and get hungry and won't eat before they are close to starving, making them discontent. Let them go eat once in a while to reduce discontent if you need to bring it down.
@@DDRJake YEA!! They're all coercion if you're worrying about getting to sleep sure enough you're be worrying about steamer garden and counting each sheep for it's nutritional content!! Then it's NODville Hear we COME!
Hopefully one of the new self-imposed challenges is set in the Winterhell map. The builder start could be seen as a sort of 'after the main scenario' story of the survivors we leave behind making a new genny. (With the added challenge you pick of course, otherwise its just normal extreme)
Challenge run idea: Full safety playthrough on extreme. You are unable to work on the generator unless it is at maximum safety. Would most likely require short shifts and siding with engineers for the factory inspectorate.
I was playing on Medium, and attempting to go full safety and siding with the workers. It almost seems impossible, Maybe they rushed the script, but even when things are fully safe and burning through resources or even one set below, random strikes will happen or people randomly dying and then claiming you must make it MORE safe to continue working. I think they need to work on the balance just a bit more.
I hope the following issues are fixed in the final build: "Tomorrow gas will drop" , "Temporary Discontent" , Self-Built Generator heating range + Building Zone. These have been very enjoyable as always and have inspired me to go check out a few of the previous runs. Moment of Silence for WinterHell.
you are awesome.... I have tried this several times... didn't know where the deadline was until I saw you hover over white icon in stage 1 section...perfect. Also 24hr shifts with reduced staff. My motivation is still low not sure what to do with this. So many tricks! So excited to be playing this game again! Thank you
There IS cannibalisms in this scenario, if you let people go hungry for long enough, you will get a chain of event over a day or 2 where you can enact it. Also you loose the game if you miss 2 deadlines or if you don't finish by day 45.
Good looking game DDRJake, I just got my pc in this week am enjoying endless mode, I still need to watch 4 more of your Frostpunk plays and then I will have seen them all😁 thank you for the enjoyable moments you gave us with these playthroughs, keep it up 🤗
I wish youtube had a bookmark video and timestamp option where you didn't have to add the time codes yourself. There's no way I can sit through 6 hour videos without breaking them up.
DDRJake, maybe do a full endless extreme builder challenge, but rush and therefore ruin the generator early on so that you have faults with it, thus adding to the challenge (basically a ruined generator run)?
my ocd goes a little crazy with some of those storage placements haha when you need to build them on this map you can build them behind the bigger buildings inside the generator circle there is enough space behind them for one so you can get alot in while saving space and also.....making it look neat and tidy jake lol
Btw you can get alternative food source even easier in this scenario than in the standard game. I got it from 1 law in the late game when the harbour stopped working
"Workers of the world unite!" The playthrough ends with everyone starving and tearing down every building so they have anything to heat their homes with.
Watching you play these maps has definitely helped me improve my on play. Just out of curiosity did you ever consider doing the builders endless extreme on The Rifts map? It's obviously not going to make the late game harder but the early and mid game might actually pose something of a challenge then.
I don't understand how motivation works. On extreme I have a chappell, a bath house, comfortable quarters, hearty meals, pub and still when I reach day 18 motivation just plunges down. On normal it's through the roof.
Surviving Mars is really good almost like very close to frostpunk - i highly recommend it! on the hardest modes its super solid - dont look up any strategies and embrace the challenges of surviving colonizing mars! its very fun, butterfly's of success and feeling like you did it once as you beat the game 4realz - when i first saw the graphics i was also turned off but once i got into it the game quickly became one of my all time favorites and ive been grand strategy gaming since dos others civ 6 (grand strat) with exp, planet coaster (grand strat) and 7th guest (puzzle scary game but the best of the best classic!) have fun and nice work on frostpunk
Challenge run where you gotta pick ONE tech tree, example wall drill, and fully research it before you can research anything else and repeat the process on another one
I'm not sure that would be possible. coal, steel and wood production would be massively blocked and I don't think you could manage to unlock all the tiers needed to get to, say, Advanced wall drill before starting with Steelworks.
Dam of all the Extreme Ends of the Purpose Trees, the Workers one really does seem to be the least depressing out of all of them cause the Structure of it wasnt purley evil, still finished it on Extreme without Signing Peoples Militia so thats doable
Just completed a blind run on normal. Barely survived ran out of food and found a camp and was eating raw food in the snow. Also ran out of coal. Could only research 1 of the 3. and didnt bother trying to get the others just fast forwarded. I did build mass infirmary though and rode it out. Survival chance of the new colony poor with 500 capacity.
I don't know if you've done a challenge like this but how about a charcoil kiln only to get coal ? if it's not hard enough you could had a restriction with having only children to work to gather coal on the map and work in kilns.
Challenge Idea (not sure if already been suggested): Endless Builder Utopia on Rifts So all the happy camper laws, on the Builder Endless mode and on the rifts map.
Cest pas la brise neige cest la creve neige. Crever = mourir ca fait plus de sens aussi. La neige qui tue plutot que la neige qui casse. Et je doute quon parle de neige qui fais des crevaisons. XD Its the creve-neige not the brise-neige or briseur de neige (break-snow or snowbreaker) Crever mean several thing in french. I dont thing its the flat one (like a flat tire) "une crevaison" it make more sense to translate it into die snow or the killing snow I dont believe english have a word for crevé soo I roughly translate it.
Considering it's a train, it might very well be a reference to the film Snowpiercer, where a huge train of the same name that drives around in a post-apocalyptic snowscape, carrying mankind's last survivors.
can you make a video explaining these little exploits you make? like how you place those sawmills in the middle of the trees without destroying them? or the wood storing with the medical post? i never knew that, i'm very noob like i couldn't even finish the generator in normal mode and that would be very helpfull :) thx!
It looks like the positioning of sawmills in the middle of trees is just careful positioning, while using the medical post as wood storage works as resources are expended when you put a building down, but you can always cancel the construction to get a full, instantaneous refund of your expended resources. To prevent from medical posts from actually getting built, just pause construction.
Cannibalisme IS possible here, but you need to let a lot of people starve to death first. Saw a youtuber did it once, even on normal, and not for trying to do that.
Hello! I am attempting survivor mode on TLA but I always fail, I got curious at the gathering posts, are they any better than having the people pick it up?
I know this is a year old but I think it would be fun to see him use the penal colony law so he can truly be as cruel as he wants then just import more when they die. But I dunno that’s just my two bits.
Indeed, at the time I didn't want to pass the extreme penal laws, and it's one of the few things I haven't done in the game, but it's not enough to bring me back to it since I've done so much in the game already.
just noticed on this preview build the mini-map doesnt have a vista it just cuts off at the edges. huh. intresting to see how late that was implemented
@DDRJake, Hey, man. I've been following the video step by step for the first 5 days and each time I go sawmill first, once day 5 comes my people start dropping dead like flies... It would also seem that your gathering post is doing 6 wood/hour whereas i'm doing 4.5. As result, I end up with one house less on day 1, however the next day i catch up as the sawmills are up and running. Is there a difference in game settings between extreme and extreme survivor?
No. I suspect that your gathering post is gathering wood and another resource. When a gathering post gathers multiple goods, it spreads out its gathering among them. For example, a gathering post gathering wood will gather 6.0 per hour, but if it's gathering 2 piles of wood and 1 pile of steel, it will gather 4.8/h wood and 0.6/h steel. When doing this run, I purposefully made sure that gathering post only got wood, since I figured it was a higher priority. I can't say for certain if this is the best setup though. Good luck! Extreme does not mess around in this game.
@@DDRJake Well, your setup is not bad per say, except.. That Gruel... While great to get to day 4 and get fishing harbors up and running, you could have gone 2x Workshops at the beginning followed by a Gathering Post on Wood/Steel and gotten Hearty Meal instead for that nice bonus to Motivation (and thus never have the drop off on the start of the day). Research goes as follows Sawmill --> Forager's Hut --> T1 --> Fishing Harbor --> Dock --> Reloading --> First Generator Factory (forgot the name). Day 1 Cookhouse as soon as you have 20 wood - have your 5 spare engineers cook after it's done. After hours you build a Medical Post and (if you did it right) 2 Shelters. Day 2 don't build anything until evening then place down 2 Sawmills & 3 more huts (you should have had an event to supply half/all your population with shelter - you should pick half). By now the Steam Core pile should be done, take 5 people off Steel and put the 20 people you have spare in to Sawmills Day 3 you build a 3rd Workshop asap with the 5 spare engineers (anyone sick should have been cured - otherwise keep 1 engineer in the Medical Post and fill it up at 6pm/take 4 out at 7am). You build the Forager's Hut after hours, take 5 off each wood pile and 5 more off the steel pile. You send them out to scout. Build the remaining shelters. At this point I was 260 wood and decided to get a storage place more so I didn't overcap wood. Day 4 you get the Fishing Harbors up and running after hours (2x of them one on each side of the map). You use the remaining people from Wood/Steel/Gathering post to fill them. Day 5 you should build the docks asap with the last steel pile gone at this point. You put 5 people in it, set it to steel, put up a gathering post and start getting steel. After hours you get your Telecommunication up, request 20 workers, build a second dock (it'll chill for now) - set it to steel (from this point on you will request 10 workers a day). Day 6 you get the Reloading stations up and running Day 7 you build the factory and start amassing as many Structural Profiles as possible. Scouting go to the first scout place --> hunting grounds (get meat for 1-2 days) --> move towards the storage and Crevè-neige (the scout markers are randomized at times so they won't always look the same, but it's always the same route) Keep primarily getting steel from both docks until you get 24hr shifts (it'll be necessary) once on 24hr shifts swap to Wood/Steel. Steam Reloading helps a lot, but then.. Steam Docks triples the amount of stuff it gets and Steam Reloaders only double what they can store per hour (sigh, feels so awkward) on the bright side it does create piles of steel on the side ripe for gathering post exploitation ie. never _ever_ build anything but gathering posts near the docks otherwise steel/wood piles can't form. One Steam Reloader + 2 Gathering posts can almost keep pace with a Steam Dock. Likewise One Advanced Reloader + 2 Gathering Posts can keep up with an Advanced Dock (almost) - you will still get piles, but slower and they'll be vital for when the ocean freeze. Another important thing that many overlook is that it's a really bad idea to build during high levels of toxic gas. It needs to be at level 2 (with the Factory Inspectors) + Safety Procedures + Structural Support + 1x Ventilation Plant (2x if you don't have Factory Inspectors) **Never go above 40% construction without Structural Supports or you won't be able to use escape tunnels once the catastrophic event hits and you **_really_** don't want to waste time losing 40% progress.** The whole point is to build while it's safe and use 24hr shifts to get it done in a day and use unsafe periods for mass production.
3:31:20 "Even with all these people, they can only do so much" *looking at 130% efficiency* 😂😂 What's next? They still have two arms, they should be able to do double. They are fed almost daily, that should squeeze another 20%. Where are the children!?
New comment, old video, blah blah. The after hours maintenance law doesn’t seem to affect safety, only the risk of workers being injured (becoming amputated/gravely ill) in the genny construction sites.
I don‘t know if it was intended or not but lowkey Jake once again styled on us all, by not only doing survivor mode, but also taking the arguably most difficult path through choosing gruel meals and siding with the workers which is considerably harder than just going with the engineers. Yet I have to say the easiness he exhibits in his gameplay despite choosing to go with these difficulty-increasing things is always a motivation for me, who always chooses the easier path and still screws up lol
Maybe it's the difficulty, he is playing on extreme. All I know was, when I did my worker run on normal, it looked worse than this. So maybe it's quite variable.
I swear you get so lucky or i get unlucky, been trying to do this on extreme for months, 30 plus tries never get near this good amount motivation, or low discontent.
@@DDRJake NOt exactly sure, i usually follow your run exactly . Run this video alongside while im playing and last time i could not keep my motivation above the line while having max discontent, i also could not get the first stage of the generator finished ontime. . Not that im going to give up but this game loves to make me work months for finishing a extreme run. I have still yet to do a endless extreme sucessfully. Also thanks for the reply i really enjoy your channel , your voice is fantastic to listen too and i love that you play ddr, specially without the bars.
does the doubleshift law actually occupy both teams of workers the whole day? for example if 100% of your population is employed somewhere are all of them employed all day? or will half of them be building/eating when their shift is over?
I like Frost Punk. Seems like it has solid gameplay. My biggest problem is the narrative. Like why would you go to the poles if the Earth got extremely cold? Why would you build out in the open? Why wouldn't you build in a cave somewhere on the equator?
The South got flooded with people. Then sickness and overpopulation wiped them out, as well as the ice and cold originated from the south. It was a plan to go there, but going north became the only option. Also, there were rich coal deposits in the north, so they have more incentive because they have a semi-reliable fuel source.
I keep coming back to this comment utterly mystified. It looks like a bot comment at first glance, but it mentions no pause and Engineers, which aren't in the Title. And yet it spams emojis and doesn't really make much sense.
Its all about this run th-cam.com/video/a92lfTNeZV4/w-d-xo.html Workers spent like 70% of time moving between different work places, and 80% of time is plain APM clicking, to make this game look more like incredible action game instead of strategic game. Is it so hard to check food income - outcome? Or maybe hard to check Dock income vs gathering spot (just a hint +/- 9 workers in Docks serve 2 full gathering spots). Or was it hard to synchronize Vent and other building work time to save Coal?
How does that unloading station work? From what I can see it just mooves the stuff you ordered from the end of the dock and puts it on the ground behind it
My GPU likes to go way over 80°C playing this game.. how Ironic. Even with my side panel off... Anyone have any idea why that would be? Card is not dusty and is quite new. GTX 1660 Ventus XS OC.
One question about the lore of Frostpunk why people just go to the warmer places like africa Sahara desert etc. Rather than building generators in england
How do you propose an entire continent of people "just go" to the Sahara, in the 19th Century? And assuming that many people get there, how much anarchy and chaos do you think would reign, and where would they get any supplies?
Thanks to 11Bit for providing this Preview version. I love Frostpunk, and have run many extreme challenges and absurd handicaps, such as no generator, no food, carbon neutral... You can find them all on this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLm0MDLKuRDrm4cnTNARZMDHF-nviVfDQj.html
I'm also open to new Frostpunk Challenges. If you have any to mind, post them here.

Hrmm, I'm not keen on retreading old challenges. I have one more run though, and it is Builder mode on Rifts.
@@DDRJake Fair enough mate, I suppose it is almost identical to the previous Utopia run.
the "creve-neige" mean from french the die-snow pretty ominous.
It's "snowbreaker" not "die-snow". "to die" is "mourir".

Considering it's a train, it might very well be a reference to the film Snowpiercer, where a huge train of the same name that drives around in a post-apocalyptic snowscape, carrying mankind's last survivors.
Count Richard Bie Fuck that makes it so much more morbid. Such a sad movie that.
The Video Started then My Internet decided to do a Hicup you endedup saying "Its time to recklessly Feed the Frost" ... It fits lol
Swiggity Swoot! More Frostpunk to boot!
can you make a video explaining these little exploits you make? like how you place those sawmills in the middle of the trees without destroying them? or the wood storing with the medical post? i never knew that, i'm very noob like i couldn't even finish the generator in normal mode and that would be very helpfull :) thx!
It looks like the positioning of sawmills in the middle of trees is just careful positioning, while using the medical post as wood storage works as resources are expended when you put a building down, but you can always cancel the construction to get a full, instantaneous refund of your expended resources.
To prevent from medical posts from actually getting built, just pause construction.
oh yea and when the massive freeze hits earth if any humans survive maybe we'll not fuck up again
If they sailed across the Northern Sea, they may have landed in Norway
Is it really an addiction if theres no downsides, Jake?
*Hell March Intensifies*
Cannibalisme IS possible here, but you need to let a lot of people starve to death first. Saw a youtuber did it once, even on normal, and not for trying to do that.
I wonder what made the difference between "acceptable" and "average" from the last time.
After reading into it, finishing before the frost gives it an average rating.
Short shift for the win
You can fail 1 deadline, but if you fail twice it's game over.
If they released a sequel. I'd love to know what the French are up to in the frostpunk universe.
Building and maintaining their Snowpiercer
Hello! I am attempting survivor mode on TLA but I always fail, I got curious at the gathering posts, are they any better than having the people pick it up?
Gathering posts are much, much better than picking stuff off the ground. use them in almost every situation. They are faster AND use fewer people.
@@DDRJake wow, even tho I've been playing for 2 years I never used them, tysm I'll try that!
I don't know why I'm watching this like I didn't just fail on an easy playthrough
Clearly a comrade of the socialist revolution.
I know this is a year old but I think it would be fun to see him use the penal colony law so he can truly be as cruel as he wants then just import more when they die. But I dunno that’s just my two bits.
Indeed, at the time I didn't want to pass the extreme penal laws, and it's one of the few things I haven't done in the game, but it's not enough to bring me back to it since I've done so much in the game already.
@@DDRJake understandable have a nice day thanks for answering.
Yeah nah, it sounded like you were doing it begrudgingly because that's the video's theme
You've caught me.
I need the full context. Is the whole segment somewhere?
What whole segment? This is a full runthrough of the scenario.
@@DDRJake 🤣🤣🤣🤣 not sure how a comment I made on another video ended up here (on a short). Don’t mind my being a derp. This was fun to watch!
just noticed on this preview build the mini-map doesnt have a vista it just cuts off at the edges. huh. intresting to see how late that was implemented
I would love to play this on the PS4
@DDRJake, Hey, man. I've been following the video step by step for the first 5 days and each time I go sawmill first, once day 5 comes my people start dropping dead like flies...
It would also seem that your gathering post is doing 6 wood/hour whereas i'm doing 4.5. As result, I end up with one house less on day 1, however the next day i catch up as the sawmills are up and running. Is there a difference in game settings between extreme and extreme survivor?
No. I suspect that your gathering post is gathering wood and another resource. When a gathering post gathers multiple goods, it spreads out its gathering among them. For example, a gathering post gathering wood will gather 6.0 per hour, but if it's gathering 2 piles of wood and 1 pile of steel, it will gather 4.8/h wood and 0.6/h steel.
When doing this run, I purposefully made sure that gathering post only got wood, since I figured it was a higher priority. I can't say for certain if this is the best setup though.
Good luck! Extreme does not mess around in this game.
@@DDRJake Well, your setup is not bad per say, except.. That Gruel... While great to get to day 4 and get fishing harbors up and running, you could have gone 2x Workshops at the beginning followed by a Gathering Post on Wood/Steel and gotten Hearty Meal instead for that nice bonus to Motivation (and thus never have the drop off on the start of the day).
Research goes as follows Sawmill --> Forager's Hut --> T1 --> Fishing Harbor --> Dock --> Reloading --> First Generator Factory (forgot the name).
Day 1 Cookhouse as soon as you have 20 wood - have your 5 spare engineers cook after it's done. After hours you build a Medical Post and (if you did it right) 2 Shelters.
Day 2 don't build anything until evening then place down 2 Sawmills & 3 more huts (you should have had an event to supply half/all your population with shelter - you should pick half). By now the Steam Core pile should be done, take 5 people off Steel and put the 20 people you have spare in to Sawmills
Day 3 you build a 3rd Workshop asap with the 5 spare engineers (anyone sick should have been cured - otherwise keep 1 engineer in the Medical Post and fill it up at 6pm/take 4 out at 7am). You build the Forager's Hut after hours, take 5 off each wood pile and 5 more off the steel pile. You send them out to scout. Build the remaining shelters. At this point I was 260 wood and decided to get a storage place more so I didn't overcap wood.
Day 4 you get the Fishing Harbors up and running after hours (2x of them one on each side of the map). You use the remaining people from Wood/Steel/Gathering post to fill them.
Day 5 you should build the docks asap with the last steel pile gone at this point. You put 5 people in it, set it to steel, put up a gathering post and start getting steel. After hours you get your Telecommunication up, request 20 workers, build a second dock (it'll chill for now) - set it to steel (from this point on you will request 10 workers a day).
Day 6 you get the Reloading stations up and running
Day 7 you build the factory and start amassing as many Structural Profiles as possible.
Scouting go to the first scout place --> hunting grounds (get meat for 1-2 days) --> move towards the storage and Crevè-neige (the scout markers are randomized at times so they won't always look the same, but it's always the same route)
Keep primarily getting steel from both docks until you get 24hr shifts (it'll be necessary) once on 24hr shifts swap to Wood/Steel. Steam Reloading helps a lot, but then.. Steam Docks triples the amount of stuff it gets and Steam Reloaders only double what they can store per hour (sigh, feels so awkward) on the bright side it does create piles of steel on the side ripe for gathering post exploitation ie. never _ever_ build anything but gathering posts near the docks otherwise steel/wood piles can't form. One Steam Reloader + 2 Gathering posts can almost keep pace with a Steam Dock. Likewise One Advanced Reloader + 2 Gathering Posts can keep up with an Advanced Dock (almost) - you will still get piles, but slower and they'll be vital for when the ocean freeze.
Another important thing that many overlook is that it's a really bad idea to build during high levels of toxic gas. It needs to be at level 2 (with the Factory Inspectors) + Safety Procedures + Structural Support + 1x Ventilation Plant (2x if you don't have Factory Inspectors) **Never go above 40% construction without Structural Supports or you won't be able to use escape tunnels once the catastrophic event hits and you **_really_** don't want to waste time losing 40% progress.**
The whole point is to build while it's safe and use 24hr shifts to get it done in a day and use unsafe periods for mass production.
@@Professor.Farnsworth Perhaps, but I did not and it worked out fine. This was only my second stab at TLA after all.
Hi DDRJake. How about only one research-engineer challenge? Any endless map is ok.
3:31:20 "Even with all these people, they can only do so much" *looking at 130% efficiency* 😂😂
What's next? They still have two arms, they should be able to do double.
They are fed almost daily, that should squeeze another 20%.
Where are the children!?
Gee.. I'm glad Jake's not my boss.
He would be shot in the parking lot if he was.
propergander and the angitator
You missed all the 2000 coal at the bottom. 😅 💀
New comment, old video, blah blah.
The after hours maintenance law doesn’t seem to affect safety, only the risk of workers being injured (becoming amputated/gravely ill) in the genny construction sites.
I don‘t know if it was intended or not but lowkey Jake once again styled on us all, by not only doing survivor mode, but also taking the arguably most difficult path through choosing gruel meals and siding with the workers which is considerably harder than just going with the engineers.
Yet I have to say the easiness he exhibits in his gameplay despite choosing to go with these difficulty-increasing things is always a motivation for me, who always chooses the easier path and still screws up lol
I have a natural affinity to the game. It must be the intense cold and crummy living/working conditions, just as I grew up with.
Why did he refuse the injection of 50 workers at 4:19:00? There was both food, space and needed labor.
GET BACK TO WORK!
Good idea.
Now get back to work.
Don't let the Trolls see you slacking!
4:44:44 This is the best part.
Really
When i play, i get must bigger motivation hits every day. Got the same laws. Is that because of later patches?
Maybe it's the difficulty, he is playing on extreme. All I know was, when I did my worker run on normal, it looked worse than this. So maybe it's quite variable.
I swear you get so lucky or i get unlucky, been trying to do this on extreme for months, 30 plus tries never get near this good amount motivation, or low discontent.
Luck is one of the smallest factors in Frostpunk, what keeps ruining your runs?
@@DDRJake NOt exactly sure, i usually follow your run exactly . Run this video alongside while im playing and last time i could not keep my motivation above the line while having max discontent, i also could not get the first stage of the generator finished ontime. . Not that im going to give up but this game loves to make me work months for finishing a extreme run. I have still yet to do a endless extreme sucessfully. Also thanks for the reply i really enjoy your channel , your voice is fantastic to listen too and i love that you play ddr, specially without the bars.
does the doubleshift law actually occupy both teams of workers the whole day? for example if 100% of your population is employed somewhere are all of them employed all day? or will half of them be building/eating when their shift is over?
I like Frost Punk. Seems like it has solid gameplay. My biggest problem is the narrative. Like why would you go to the poles if the Earth got extremely cold? Why would you build out in the open? Why wouldn't you build in a cave somewhere on the equator?
The South got flooded with people. Then sickness and overpopulation wiped them out, as well as the ice and cold originated from the south. It was a plan to go there, but going north became the only option. Also, there were rich coal deposits in the north, so they have more incentive because they have a semi-reliable fuel source.
finished this on just hard.. late game i didnt even know what motivation is.. and i won :O with 2 people amongs living OMG. :D
Good grief.
No Pausing OMG!! You Sounded HEROIC But Fifteen minutes In and parking some Engineers new app too good to be TRUE😏
LOL!! 💂♂️😻 💂♂️😉!
I keep coming back to this comment utterly mystified. It looks like a bot comment at first glance, but it mentions no pause and Engineers, which aren't in the Title. And yet it spams emojis and doesn't really make much sense.
Its all about this run th-cam.com/video/a92lfTNeZV4/w-d-xo.html Workers spent like 70% of time moving between different work places, and 80% of time is plain APM clicking, to make this game look more like incredible action game instead of strategic game. Is it so hard to check food income - outcome? Or maybe hard to check Dock income vs gathering spot (just a hint +/- 9 workers in Docks serve 2 full gathering spots). Or was it hard to synchronize Vent and other building work time to save Coal?
How does that unloading station work? From what I can see it just mooves the stuff you ordered from the end of the dock and puts it on the ground behind it
It adds stuff directly to your stockpile. Otherwise you need gathering posts or to directly gather stuff that's unceremoniously dumped at your docks.
My GPU likes to go way over 80°C playing this game.. how Ironic. Even with my side panel off... Anyone have any idea why that would be? Card is not dusty and is quite new. GTX 1660 Ventus XS OC.
One question about the lore of Frostpunk why people just go to the warmer places like africa Sahara desert etc. Rather than building generators in england
How do you propose an entire continent of people "just go" to the Sahara, in the 19th Century?
And assuming that many people get there, how much anarchy and chaos do you think would reign, and where would they get any supplies?
@@DDRJake good answer havent thought about it by the way very good game play thanks for the content
What happens to the French when you tell them the truth about the train?
