How to Build Districts in Frostpunk 2

This is a new expansion system that in this installment has changed the building-by-building approach, now unlike the unconventional approach taken in Frostpunk Tesla City, specialized buildings have not been abandoned in this iteration. The relevant districts can still host a large number of buildings, but this may require expanding the district first, to be aware of How to Build Districts in Frostpunk 2 let's closely follow the following content.

What we will do first is make sure that the land where we intend to build the district is adequately prepared by breaking the frost on it, then we will make sure that we have the necessary resources for the specific district that we have in mind, we navigate to the lower left corner of the interface username and locate the icon called "Districts and centers", which presents three buildings. Alternatively, we can use the “B” shortcut key on a PC to access this menu.

We select the district we want to build and then specify the exact tile we want to build it on. Let's keep in mind that each district initially spans six tiles, so we must choose a total of six tiles, once we have chosen, be patient while our citizens build the district. It is essential to note that each district has three prerequisites, including an adequate number of workers, sufficient heat seals, and a reliable heat supply to sustain the district once it becomes operational.

Let's increase the workforce at our disposal by building housing districts. Additionally, to ensure an ample supply of heat seals, we recommend also building industrial districts, the process of breaking frost in the game involves creating a secure base for new districts. This can be accomplished by removing ice and snow, a task easily accomplished with the saw blade icon or the "X" hotkey, while selecting the tile we wish to break the frost, the adjacent orange tiles They will also be available for removal. It is advisable to select a total of seven adjacent tiles to clear the terrain efficiently. Once this is done, city workers will automatically begin the process of breaking the frost.

It is extremely important to take advantage of this icebreaker feature, as certain districts can only be built with specific resources. For example, logistics districts are crucial to navigating Frostland in Frostpunk 2 and require ancient stations as a base. These way stations are only accessible if frost breaks the ground at the perimeter of your city.

Building districts in the game comes with the additional task of considering our adjacent counterparts. The interactions between different districts can have significant effects on our city, whether positive or negative, an important example is that we can group housing districts very close together can benefit from excess heat and reduce our overall needs. On the contrary, an extraction district located next to a food district can lead to an increase in misery and disease, since the toxic fumes of the former can poison the second, it is advisable that we group the industrial and extraction districts together, and at the same time grouping the food and housing districts for maximum benefits and minimum drawbacks.

The process is relatively simple. We start by clicking on the district we want to expand, which will open our dedicated menu. At the bottom of the menu, three options are available, with the rightmost one showing four arrows radiating from a starting point. This means the Expand District button. We simply click on it and, as long as we have the necessary resources, we can select three new tiles to expand the district. However, let's keep in mind that completely surrounded districts cannot be expanded without demolishing a section of the city.
