Learn how to acquire and strategically use rare Steam Cores in Frostpunk. Essential for unlocking advanced buildings and powerful Automatons to optimize your city's survival.
Steam Cores are extremely rare resources that can only be found by scouts on expeditions. They are limited and are used to create some of the best buildings and Automatons. Automatons are giant robots that can perform most jobs, though they initially have limited capabilities that can be improved with new technologies.
Think carefully about how you'll use your Steam Cores and make sure to seek them while sending your scouts to expeditions. Automatons can work 24 hours a day without needing rest or food, making them highly reliable. However, they produce slightly less than a building full of human workers.

- Prioritize Steam Cores for the most impactful buildings and Automatons.
