Frostpunk Scenarios: Your Path to Survival
Facing the end of the world is tough, but with the right guidance, you can lead your people to a new dawn. Here’s a look at the main scenarios you'll be tackling:
- A New Home: This is your starting point, the classic Frostpunk experience where you establish your first city around the generator and face the immediate challenges of survival.
- The Arks: A more specialized scenario where your primary goal is to protect a set of seed arks, requiring a different approach to resource management and city layout.
- The Refugees: Here, you'll be dealing with massive waves of incoming refugees, testing your ability to house, feed, and manage a rapidly growing, often desperate population.
- The Fall of Winterhome: This scenario throws you into a pre-existing, failing city. Your job is to salvage what you can and try to turn the tide before it's too late.
- The Last Autumn (DLC): A prequel scenario where you build the generator itself before the big freeze hits, focusing on construction and worker management under different pressures.
