Frostpunk: On The Edge. Pre-Release Stream

[@11bitstudios]

Thanks for playing On the Edge and for sharing it with your community!

[@Pannedcakes-90]

Thanks to 11bit for making and keeping up with the game! Fell in love with the game at launch and just kept going the whole time. Really sad to know that the story is closed for this chapter of the game. I'd love to see different parts of the Frostlands explored, what happened to India and China, how about Australia, Hawaii, or the islands that suddenly grew and such. Might not be enough for a full sequel but if you're going to release more maps having some different themed Frostlands to explore in Endless mode with new treasures and/or limitations on tech would get cash from me. Playing Endless Builder, Trader, Survival feels so much more complete than when the only option was 'A New Hope'. Thanks again for all the fun times' in the Frostlands with New London and friends. 'm excited to learn about whatever work you put out next.

[@lordcarve]

I like the trade mechanics and diplomatic flavor. However the tech and laws are underwhelming. That's what really made The Last Autumn special and still the strongest dlc in my opinion. The final decision with New London I'm sure will be more difficult on harder settings, but it still felt like they should have been more part of the story. They sort of disappeared throughout the bulk of the scenario and come back into contact at the end and then the scenario is just finished after a quick decision. I definitely wanted more of a climax. Anyway, looking forward to playing this one. Good job Jake.

[@cameronmcallister7606]

To me it feels like they wanted this big moral choice of us or them, but the choice hardly matters, since it only affects you at the very end of the game. IMO it should have been a longer DLC with political positioning being more important than flat resources, like, this would be alright as a demo of an idea, but as a full on extra release, it feels underwhelming.

[@star-marlan4815]

The only thing colder than the storm in frostpunk is the amount of warmth Jake has for his workers.

[@omni5640]

I think 1916 is going to be a reference to either the new DLC or Frostpunk 2. The date may refer to WW1, and the world of Frostpunk seems to be tilting more towards war and conflict and less into survival. I think soon, conflict with other cities will occur.

[@sebaseba6710]

That would be pretty cool

[@hohhoch3617]

This, I think would've been fantastic for the final DLC of Frostpunk. New London emerges from the storm, arguably the most well setup and positioned city in the frostlands. They discover another city about the same size. You then discover the army depot, which is currently the only way to gain steam cores. Both of you want them. As you discover outposts and poor cities where people survived, you leverage your economic might to buy bodies for the war against the other city for steamcores.

[@KillerOrca]

@@hohhoch3617 Steampunk arctic warfare? SIGN ME THE HELL UP

[@Mart-10]

I mean sadly I don't think it will be DLC as this was clearly marketed as the final DLC. Also with the time, although its in our world in the middle of WWI, the frostpunk world is so immensly different that this event doesn't have to happen. My money is on a sequel where we enter the dieselpunk era which (Check out 1920+ for some inspiration of how that would look)

​@@sigvardr7682 Very annoying, he let his blind patriotism make him miss the core themes of this DLC.

I'm glad you can complete the DLC in a variety of ways, but man did his mentality sour it for me.

@@Aaron-qe9ms Jake is also the player who jokes about sending little timmy down into the coal mine, and when there's a kid trapped in the gears he'll just start the factory back up. If you're looking for a serious interpretation of the scenario, then you're probably not gonna get it from him

[@Aaron-qe9ms]

@@TrueChaoSclx Well I can be fine with jokes, most of them were funny. But if, say, there's a serious game trying to send the message that cannibalism is bad (not frost punk obviously lol) and the player just keeps going on and on and on and on about how much they _love_ cannibalism then yeah, I wouldn't much enjoy that either. There's no joke there. It's just a statement. "I will deepthroat Brittan. Laugh guys?" Just as a first-time viewer, it put me off.

[@lefterismplanas4977]

@@Aaron-qe9ms Well, your opinion. I came here for frost punk, but accepted that this is something different . this is DDRJake playing frost punk. which is very different. And I love it for that. He tries to be as much Unsenseible, rolling with the best options, carrying nought about ethics. its fun and refreshing. he is trying to brake the game while staying in Character. which is unique. If you like the game for the core story this is not it, obvious if you saw the rest of his frostpunk vid titles. plus he always plays on extreme, normal is way too easy for him, so he has the capacity to be extra usenseible. he completed an run without using the generator in the greatest difficulty. amongst other similar things. him believing in Lomond this much is a it much yes. but he is just testing the watters. his actual runs are all in extreme don't complain about him not being something he is not trying to be :D have a better day

What you were saying about getting shivers. It reminds me of how I felt towards the end of New Home during the storm. I recently completed my first New Home run and the last week or so of that storm was such an awesome moment. The music was perfect and it really felt like my city and decision making was put to the test.

[@dannes22]

Love that by withholding the food producing settlement from the shipwreck settlement you're doing exactly what new London did towards you

[@DDRJake]

My people's first mistake was letting me be unrestrained by the rule of New London.

[@crazymanmot]

It makes a degree of sense though, do you really think its best to let the criminals handle their relationship with the tree huggers instead of just trading with the people they already have a working relationship with? Besides, ethically it isn't quite the same considering if they really wanted to find the tree huggers then they could (theoretically) send their own scout team, but they came to the outpost first because they weren't sure what to do. That is very different from stepping in on a trade route others established and demanding it be handed over to them (and considering the only reason they felt the need to look for the new trade route was because New London stopped properly supplying them food).

[@YourLocalMairaaboo]

@@crazymanmot Yeah. There is a difference. Still jerkish, but not evil. Heck, you are building them stuff to make them self reliant for payment! New London wanted 2 steam cores and 100 steel for 30 raw food! The comparison doesn't hold up. It would be if they were on distrustful relations, but no, they are on neutral. Which means they are not friends, bit aren't rivals either. They are aquaintances. Edit: Heck, hot springs became *friendly!*

[@gruiadevil]

I finished this scenario with population 925. You did something wrong by not taking in those people and leaving them to die. Also, a LOT of mistakes were made, that's why you suffered so much. For instance: No Coal mine. Where 1 coal mine can output enough coal to warm up the small settlement. And uses 10 people instead of 30 for that Coal Thumper + Gathering posts. You have infinite Steam Cores, so Steam cores is not an issue. Not using up favor. You let it rise to High only when you need a specific resource; like Engineers. Sending too much to New London in the early game. You should only send the minimum and only once every 3 days. They will bother you once every 2 days to ask for shipments, but if you send once every 3 days, you're safe. Displeasing the settlements. If you only select options that pleases them (with no extra cost), you spend less resources (they ask for less stuff) and their loialty goes up, and when New London asks for help, they will send those shipments instead of you having to send them. Except for the SteamCores and Steal (which they don't got, but you have infinite on those). The only downside is your own people's discontent, but if you place some Fighting pits + Moonshine law, that's a non-issue. Not passing all the laws. Hope isn't much of an issue. Discontent is. Since you need that Army Warehouse working 24/7, Discontent needs to be managed. You need an Infirmary and 2 Healing posts, or 2 Infirmaries. You barely could have enough engineers for 1 Infirmary. Not doing the Infirmary upgrades. Not doing a lot of upgrades.
