Welcome to Part 2 of my Frostpunk 2 Beginner’s Guide, where Chapter 1 truly begins. In this episode, we break down the early-game decision making, district placement, resource management, and political systems that will determine whether your city survives or collapses.

This guide is designed for new and returning Frostpunk players who want to understand why decisions matter and not just what to click. We’ll analyze wind exposure, housing efficiency, extraction districts, tension, heatstamps, and the first council session, all while adapting to falling temperatures and resource shortages.
