This game rocks. Loving the LP so far.

The first time I played the commoners vs nobles scenario, I let my firebrand socialism get the better of me and made all the nobles stay out in the cold. Especially Craven. gently caress Craven.

Option 5

That coal could set us up for a while as far as fuel goes. Wait, how do we get more people? I doubt there's gonna be any refugee groups heading our way.

I'll give you a hint, it involves beds. :heysexy: There's also the chance of finding stranded groups out in the wastes, but don't count on it.



I vote for Option 6, since having your resources clumped together like that is optimal. You can just plop down a few heaters and a storage shed in that area and that's your settlement's industrial sector right there.

This LP has inspired me to start playing Endless Mode again. I'm playing Builders, which means having to build a Generator from scratch, and it doesn't help that this game is INSANELY unforgiving. A single error, especially in the early game, can cost you dearly.

We've always had an iron mine in Eastasia. Yeah, I thought it was a coal mine at first, but I edited the post once I realized my mistake. Sorry!

If it didn't overlap with the next scenario too much I would've shown off the Builders mode here. Yeah, that one's just a little ridiculous; personally I think it might be one of the hardest challenges in the game, at least right at the beginning. I think if you go Faith you can use Field Kitchens as your only possible source of heat.

I've just discovered that the worst part about having no Generator is having nowhere to recharge Automatons. I've started the game off slow and steady, focusing on the necessities of life, and building up gradually to the more advanced stuff. I didn't even have anyone die on me until just before the second storm (then some poor bastard :suicide: in despair after becoming an amputee :ohdear: )

Remember the time you blew up a sun a Generator?

Turns out using pressurized high temperature steam is mildly dangerous. As Robbie Coltrane once said, doesn't take much for them to be more of a bomb than an engine.

What are the implications of low discontent? It seems pretty bad, but is that doing anything?

EDIT: Low discontent is actually a good thing. It measures how unhappy people are. Low discontent means people are happy and satisfied. The bottom bar measures their motivation to work.

Safety Procedures, then Two Shifts

To be specific, that's what happens when discontent rises. Low discontent is a good thing.

Yeah, sorry, I got confused for a moment. Fixed my post. I don't know why the developers couldn't make it a Contentment bar, unless they were making a reference to Shakespeare's Richard III. "Now is the winter of our discontent."

(I also like the Last Autumn thawed overworld map a lot and kind of wish there were like patches of green or periodic thaws in Endless.)

In-universe, Last Autumn is set just before global cooling really takes off and Earth turns into a giant ice ball; the other scenarios happen in the first year or so of the endless winter, and Endless Mode and Frostpunk 2 are what happens after that. No-one is going to see any greenery for a very long time, barring a miracle.

What, you thought I was kidding about somebody losing a hand to an STI? I know it wasn't a repetitive motion injury because the medics actually checked.

They promised to feed us in exchange for supplies, then turned around and blew us off without any explanation. Absent a satisfactory explanation, it's safe to assume the latter until New London deigns to explain the causes of their behaviour.

How many amputees currently live in New Bastion?

I voted for Moonshine in the strawpoll, but if the number of amputees is greater than ten, change my vote in favour of Prosthetics and work towards construction of a Factory to produce them.

Screw those jerks, they openly exploited us, threatened us when we wouldn't be exploited, left us to die and then only came crawling back when our material, numerical, logistical and organizational superiority became apparent to them. They have been brought undone by their own hubris and incompetence, and are unlikely to learn from their errors.
