According to Stokalski, it's still 'pretty early in development.'īut there's a plus side as you consider there might be a long wait to get your hands on Frostpunk 2. I can say that while oil is definitely the big actor, the ultimate hero and antihero remains the society, right? For us, Frostpunk 2 is still going to be a society survival game, just interpreted in a different way than the original.'ġ1 Bit Studios hasn't announced a release date or even a year for Frostpunk 2. 'I cannot talk very specifically about the role and how the society will play out around this. 'We don't want to just make a bigger game, right? We want to make a broader game in terms of keeping to the themes in Frostpunk 1 but telling more about different aspects of the biggest enemy out there, which is human nature.'Īs far as how the mad scramble for oil will come into play and how it will shape your society in Frostpunk 2, he was pretty tight-lipped. Stokalski also said the scope and scale of Frostpunk 2 is bigger than the original, but not just in physical size.

I would say that it's going to be somewhat different in tone from the original.' So I would say that the overall themes of the game are not going to be all beds of roses. And again, what will happen next, this is the big question. 'And Frostpunk 2, in this sense, is actually a post-apocalyptic game, in a way. And in this sense it was doom and gloom and everything worse and worse all around. 'But I would say that it's interesting, because internally with Łukasz Juszczyk, my co-director and co-partner in crime, we often talk about Frostpunk was really an apocalyptic game, right? It took place in the time that basically everything was going to shit. 'If you know our last two games, hope is not very high on our themes list,' Stokalski said, laughing. I asked about the planet itself, and if it's still getting colder or if the climate is recovering and steering toward a warmer and potentially more hopeful future. And not only you, but society as a whole.' 'I would say Frostpunk 2 is going to be about what happens when you actually survive the unsurvivable. Interestingly, Tesla City could manufacture their own Steam Cores.'The question really becomes, what's next?' said Stokalski.

Permanent ways to lose steam cores include story arks such as The Automaton Project (Arc), repairing the generator once it reaches a stress level of 100% or sending cores in shipements to New London (On The Edge).Ī moving Steam Core may be visible from outside of some buildings.

Dismantling Hothouses and its upgraded counterparts for their steam cores may be useful during storm in A New Home.

In some scenarios it may be advantageous to conserve cores by using several Hunters Huts or Hangars in place of Hothouses.

Dismantling an automaton or a structure that uses Cores will give you all of them back using one in construction is never a permanent decision!.

The few intact Steam Cores available to the residents of the Last Cities must be salvaged from buildings or derelicts dotting the Frostlands. Only a Model of the Steam Core Prototype inside a waterproof chest was found afloat by a corvette searching for Professor Hawkins. Most tragically was the loss of Professor Hawkins, who attempted to cross the Channel with his belongs, including all the blueprints and other documentation about Steam Cores, onboard an experimental Steam Core powered aeroplane. However, all knowledge regarding the manufacture of Steam Cores was lost during the Great Frost and in the ensuing chaos of civilizations' collapse. The invention of Steam Cores became a massive boon for the British Empire and the technology was adopted by other countries, such as the United States. Certain events will also give you the choice of sacrificing a Steam Core in exchange for a powerful positive outcome.Īccording to in-game Lore, the Steam Core were invented by Professor Hawkins before the Great Frost. Steam Cores are primarily used for two important purposes: the creation of Automatons and the building of advanced structures, such as Coal Mines and Hothouses.

In On The Edge, you may retrieve unlimited Steam Cores from the Army Warehouse. In The Refugees, your starting crater has two Destroyed Steam Core Transports that can each be harvested for 2 Steam Cores. Typically they are found by exploring nodes, but if you set up an Outpost in Tesla City in A New Home, you can receive 1 Steam Core per day. Steam Core is the only item in the game that the player cannot create (nor destroy, luckily), but must be found from scouting.
