Comprehensive Guide to All Outposts and Resource Deposits in Frostpunk 2’s Frostlands
Exploring Outposts and Resource Deposits in the Frostlands of Frostpunk 2 provides players with a vast area ripe for discovery, offering essential materials and resources vital for the survival of their citizens. The requirements for collecting these resources vary depending on the type – some resources necessitate additional teams and trails, while others can be managed with workers who can maintain a steady supply.
The Frostlands feature a sprawling landscape where players can embark on multiple expeditions to uncover smaller settlements, resource caches, and deposits. These resources play a crucial role in easing the demands faced by the main city, as there is an ongoing need for specific supplies. Once players have secured an ample stockpile, they can focus on constructing new buildings and conducting research to enhance their city.
What are Outposts in Frostpunk 2?
Outposts serve as fundamental components for establishing new settlements. These structures incur ongoing costs, so it’s advisable to review their descriptions before construction. Once an Outpost is established, it can deliver a continuous stream of resources to various districts and the main city. Players can build new Trails and Skyways to streamline operations or optimize existing routes to conserve resources.
Like Districts, Outposts can be deactivated by selecting the option to dismantle them, which should only be done if the costs of maintaining the Outpost exceed the benefits of resource production.
What are Resource Deposits in Frostpunk 2?
Resource Deposits are typically associated with one-time collection expeditions that do not require a dedicated Trail since they do not offer a steady supply. These serve as convenient stops for the main city while exploring the Frostlands. To facilitate resource gathering at Deposits, players must assign a team of Frostland Workers, although no Trail or Outpost is necessary.
