I personally think FP2’s evolution to being a 4X game was a very natural step for FP to take. Like Bricky says: We’re not just surviving anymore, we are *living.* The start of the game even supports this idea with the line: “We survived the end of the world…*now what?*” And that’s why I think the inherent disconnect to your individual citizens works so well to me, because while the Captain could afford to weigh every single decision on a person-by-person level, the Steward…can’t. The Steward has to make even more pragmatic decisions for the city than the Captain ever did, and will probably never see every single one of the *thousands* of faces that their choices affect. It’s a great way to build on the premise of the first game while preserving the game’s identity in an organic and believable way.

@@youdontknowme3935 yeah, but not my point. Frostpunk, at its core, is about managing social problems, basic needs etc. of people at the end of the world and gameplay of both games lie in exactly that: managing resources and making hard moral choices when in need. It is already pretty difficult and then adding some typical paradox 4X stuff on top of that will be one hell of a game. If this ever theoretically comes out it must back down on management part of frostpunk games in favor of external diplomacy and combat stuff, which might be an interesting twist but you'll zoom out even more and further back away from morals and city planning, which is what THE Frostpunk is about.

@@bloodee4508 I forsee a possible third game to return back to its roots, but instead of a diaspora or a budding nation state, you're trying to retain the identity of a certain demographic or ethnic group that's living in this absolute faceless behemoth of a civilisation, one that's on the verge of crumbling and there's nothing you can do about it. Historically, all empires are doomed to fall, and the Frostlanders are no different. The upside is that this splintering allows smaller, more flexible groups of humans to thrive and adapt, and even carve out their own sovereignty in the world. In time, the petty states give rise to new empires, and the cycle repeats as human civilisation marches on, and perhaps, just maybe, the shattered wheel of progress is replaced and reborn anew at once.

The way I kind of see the infinite resource veins in the first game vs the limited resources in the second is due to the scope of things. Like, for a small developing settlement of a couple hundred people, that ice wall of trees is basically INFINITE, especially if you’re only looking to the near future. But after 30 years of picking away at those resources, and with a society hundreds to thousands of times larger than before… yeah, that same resource will last about a half a year, one year tops.

I'd be really excited for a Frostpunk2 expansion or Frostpunk 3 where they do this again and the endless deposits in Frostpunk2 run out, especially since they make the deposits not actually being endless more clear mechanically by actually giving them a set amount, that is high enough that it's not feasible to extract them in a run, except for the settlements which don't have anywhere to write that number down. Something like generator cities expanding far enough to have borders with eachother and properly go to war as these once endless sources begin to run out, instead of a single city having a civil war. I feel like they really try to set up the idea of these sources eventually being drained with things like the progress generator burning all the excess oil for more comfort, emphasizing a wastefulness that will come to bite them in the future.

To be fair oil should be unlimited in FP2 since well, we dont burn remotely enough for 2 mil people lol. That stuff would last at least 100-200 years min (obviously depending on size, but we use PUMPJACKS so i figure we get it from underground deposits). And the other stuff I can agree on but for gameplay I'd have preferred if we had a few actual endless resources.

I think what Frostpunk 2 does well is really bank on that mood of being past the imminent extinction of humankind. People want luxuries, they want housing that's better than a berth against the cold. They want to create families, an identity and to build a life. The Frost has been around for so long that only the oldest in the city can remember what the world was like before it. And that gradually fades as 30 years after the first snow becomes 40, 50, or 60, and the City swells to match the scale of the cities of the past. Memory of life before the snow dissolves from memory into story, whatever the details become secondary to the world as it is in the present. A civil war at the end of the world? Not so far fetched when the combatants don't consider themselves living at end of the world. But a brilliant end-game idea none-the-less.

Well the end of the world stops being the end of the world after a certain point. And once people stop being old enough to be depressed about the past. We can finally have people interested in working with what they have. I'm just happy it didn't take over 200 years Bethesda. Seriously I understand that a nuclear apocalypse happened but after a certain point get over it. Stop living in tin shacks and build actual houses. Fucking sweep up the dust. The people in Frost Punk 2 seemed to get over this in like 3-4 generations. If Bethesda wrote for FrostPunk 2 there'd be a farming faction that dreams of causing global warming so they can experience a summer.

This game reminds me of what for me makes the Alien & Aliens movies so great. When Alien 1 was released, it was a one-of-a-kind thing that completely shook up the sci-fi horror genre with something with such a unique feel, the "old school" futuristic technology that still uses dial-up, real industrialised ships that were made for specific industrial purposes and not to look cool, and of course, the iconic xenomorph that terrorised the crew of the ship. It was a crew of unprepared workers versus a stronger, faster and smarter monster. So when the directors sat down to write Alien 2, they knew there was no way anything they made with the same formula would be as good; it would be pretty good for sure, but not unique and able to capture that "lightning in the bottle". So instead, they tried something new; instead of alien horror where the characters couldn't fight back, it was alien horror survival. Following a small military team as they tried to fight back, not just one un-killable alien, but a hoard of killable but still terrifying aliens. Was it as good as the first? That's up to the individual, but was it something unique that stood next to its predecessor rather than just trying to falsely imitate it (see almost every other sequel to a movie/ game, looking at you God of War Ragnarok)? Absolutely, and that's why both movies are fantastic, much like Frostpunk 1 and 2. Sorry for how long this comment is. I just randomly felt the need to draw a comparison between the two franchises and why I dislike most sequels.

The best way I can see how the point moved away from "surviving the cold" to "survive *ourselves* in this new world" is the whiteouts.... They are only annoying because it makes everyone just fucking turn on *you* and is a blow to your Trust....and thats it. An event that was the central focus of the first game in the second is just an annoyance and a problem to *add on* to the already big pile you have back in your city. Frostpunk 2 choices and complicated moments are a "hell of your own making" because that law and that *angry mob* didn't come out of nowhere, it came from your past choices and what you were willing to do to have more oil or heat stamps or work force

Seeing how Frostpunk 2 is that natural expansion of the first game's premise is really cool. From city builder to 4X game. It keeps the first game a lot more relevant that you may jump back into if you're feeling like you want to micromanange a city vs a state. Very interesting choice!

My problem is that the big faction conflict at the end can kind of come out of nowhere. In FP 1 the storm was very telegraphed, yo, it’s coming, gotta do stuff. In FP 2 it feels like everything’s going pretty ok, minus some grumbling, and then suddenly people are murdering each other in the streets. It’d sell it a lot more for me if there were events where maybe the guards find a secret weapons cache and speculate there could be more out there, a few brawls that turn into small riots that are easily dealt with, just any sort of escalation. TLDR there’s no setup to the payoff of the final boss.

@SMILE53335 nah I agree with op on this one. There is "conflict" up until the point you build 2 watch towers in winter home 😅 Plus winter home is just so bloody rushed! Like I was on captain survivor mode... was done pluging winterhomes holes in 20 minutes. Spent a little time building up my city, accidentally sent 100 more people than I meant to winterhome, taking it over 9k and WHAM! I was in the end game and my entire infrastructure fell apart in 2 seconds flat... all due to a war that started between 2 fervour factions that were near max reputation I didn't even get to *appreciate I was rebuilding winterhome*

@@Guywiththetypewriter I think part (not all of it, but part of it) of why this seems so jarring is that people don't understand that the factions reputation is specifically what they think of YOU. But they hate those other guys who are always whispering in your ear and polluting the good stewards mind with horrific ideas. This starts to fall apart as the civil war drags on because the belligerents start to lose this idealized view of the person they need to save from the perfidious other guys, and maybe start to think they were wrong and you are truly against them as you refuse to capitulate and kick out those nasty other guys. Because if the war goes on too long you will get no-confidenced. That's how I came to understand the reputation system, ultimately. You can't prevent the civil war because it was never about you in the first place. As far as lead-up... yeah, some more seeds of impending catastrophe would have been good. Give us those weapon caches and some violent clashes between the two ahead of time to start setting the scene and show the backslide as they go from reasonable to unreasonable.
@Guywiththetypewriter2 ай бұрын
@warmachine5835 yeah I agree for the most part. Never attributed it to the reputation system in my head It's just "lah lah lah, Stewart doing Stewart things" *1 guy is stabbed, instant war... 0_0 WW1 didn't happen immediatly after the arch Duke was shot. It took months. I think all the game needed was breathing room where, no matter what you do, you slowly see the seeds of war grow after the stabbing. Like have it where you can investigate the caches and stuff post stabbing to give you more of a clue as to when shit will hit the fan (like the lense tech from FP1)

The ideologies in Frostpunk 2 are absolutely whack. "We're the people of reason, let's send children to school. And also force everyone to rotate out their partners for better breeding success." "We need to adapt to the frost, let's design all our workplaces to send workers to the hospital more often." "I'm sorry steward, I can't take it anymore, why are you making us research such a radical idea as *checks notes* running workplaces without bosses?!"

i respect what they did with frostpunk 2 and i like some of the changes a lot, but in a weird way i might have been happier if it was more like the first but bigger. I liked how much even a few workers could matter in the first game. in this latest one they are faceless numbers. everything is a little too big. the human-centered perspective becomes blurred. when everything goes from a few hundreds to tens of thousands, etc. + I liked the placement of the individual buildings, how you had to think about where to put them and think about whether there is room, etc. Great Video!
@therat11172 ай бұрын
I have to disagree with Bricky on a number of points here. Frostpunk 2 is not a 4X game, it's a city builder. It's just a city builder with some depth and complexity to it, and more things to manage than the first game. It's a more macroeconomic game that is centred around running... a city! and the politics that is needed to make a realistic city run. People aren't going to do what you want just because, you will have to convince them into it in the real world, and thus in game. You also do get a lot of reactivity from writing controversial laws. Nearly everything majorly controversial will get some manner of event that is to some extent 'yeah you voted on that, but people don't like your law and are trying to get around it' and you will have the option of either altering your enforcement of that law to blunt its impact, or cracking down on your enforcement (with different benefits and penalties for doing so). Factions will also push you to repeal the laws they find most controversial and aggravating. Citizens if anything give you more feedback and pushback in Frostpunk 2, whereas in Frostpunk 1 you could speedrun becoming a tyrant and throwing people into the generator without any trouble, regardless of whether the community wanted that or not, which felt a little unrealistic at times (who cares if hope and discontent are out of whack, all I have to do is wait a few more days and I can pass a law to make them permanently go away with no repercussions!). In my opinion, Frostpunk 2 is a better game. But it is a more difficult, and a more realistic game. By my third playthrough of Frostpunk 1, I was utterly bored because I could minmax the game so well that the only challenge to the game came from artificially depriving myself of tools the game gave me. Frostpunk 2 feels like a high-intensity, anxiety-laden balancing act even on lower difficulties. The dissonance in the audience seems to stem from issues similar to my experience here. Frostpunk 1 is heavily a resource management game, where you can minmax extremely efficiently and the real difficulty comes only until you have production optimised, and then it's a cakewalk unless you artificially limit yourself. Frostpunk 2 is more of a 'true' city builder where everything is a precarious balancing act that requires very careful forward planning and minmaxing is very difficult due to the need to manage multiple systems at once, with the difficulty ramping up over time as you run out of more and more resources and have to balance an increasingly deteriorating political situation. You know, like real life! And I think that's the dissonance where you had a lot of people coming in expecting a spreadsheet simulator, and were instead put in charge of the city of London in the 1920s, complete with aggressive political factions that get into fights in the streets.

Nah man not really I signed privatized housing which somehow gets you more housing and money and literally no negatives in most play throughs, only when I tried ruining my city on purpose did I get a homeless event. It’s fixable, but as of now you just mostly get one extra piece of text after the law passed, which simply sets the vibe, not really changing much. Or you get an option to make law more or less effective and radical, like paid essentials but with welfare packages for the poor. I agree that in FP1 you could really speedrun tyranny, but in FP2 if you figure out how to lead in all your research and laws as promises for factions you will easily get a faction that you did everything against, and yet they at least tolerate you. Promises giving boost to all factions despite being made to one kinda breaks the point of backlash. And no, FP2 is easier. All the micro stuff is gone, generator just runs and figures its consumption out, you either turn overdrive on or off, that’s it. The econ stuff would be hard if some choices weren’t just overpowered. Adaptation is just better, salvaging factory is the only industrial building you’ll ever need, dense housing block is just better, simply put 4 districts next to a health hub and you covered your housing for half the game. Logistics teams don’t die in the storm, all exploration is safe as long as you build two buildings or one building and one law. Trust just needs to be above 0, no point in making it high, your only bottleneck that matters are heatstamps and faction relationships, both covered by promises. The only hard part is initial 50 weeks, before the second taxation and population growth, then it smoothes out.

@@pomamoba What difficulty are you playing on, easy? If you don't think carefully and plan out your build order in advance in Frostpunk 2 on normal or higher, you *will* brick your run by letting too many people freeze to death or starve to death. You can't research your way out of every hole like in Frostpunk 1 because by not researching something else you are potentially letting an entirely different problem spiral out of control in the time it takes you to research the 'overpowered' choice, and there are no total fixes for a given problem, unlike in Frostpunk 1 (looking at you, House of Healing), as well as laws and research not being independent of each other. Plus, all the things you mention as making the game 'easier' are trivial nonsense. 'Logistic team no die in storm' Yeah and they don't die in Frostpunk 1 either if you have the attention span of a gecko and recall them before the storm kills them. 'Just build more/advanced building' wow really? I hadn't thought of that. Can I just build housing and only do the good researches in Frostpunk 1 and win too? Why yes I can! Frostpunk 1 easy game for babies. /s 'All exploration safe if you spend a brickload of resources on it' Okay, cool, all exploration is permanently safe in Frostpunk 1 without the brickload of resources and you will never, ever lose a scout team unless you really try to. 'Just promise everything, who care about trust' Okay casul, that's how I know you play on easy. Faction promises only increase their favour by a teeny tiny amount (whilst annoying another faction 9 times out of 10), and force you to research useless stuff, repeal laws you rely on to get stuff done, or build useless buildings. They're next to useless. Trust is just a less annoying version of hope and discontent, and I'm glad it more or less takes care of itself. Remembering to hit the overpowered 'fix hope no downsides' button every once in a while was annoying. As an even funnier side bar, the 'micro stuff' makes Frostpunk 1 trivial and almost laughably breakable once you work the game out. You can rotate sick people who could still work in and out of hospitals by staffing and unstaffing them, manipulate deconstructing the cookhouse to get people to work faster, and other such tricks that let you break the game to its limit. Go watch DDRJake, that man broke Frostpunk 1 to hell and back. The 'micro stuff' being gone makes Frostpunk 2 much more difficult.

To quote someone else, Frostpunk 1 is a single-player RTS masquerading as a city builder. Those people then being confronted with something a lot closer to a classic city builder with a politics simulation, a lot more shades of grey, and very little memery, and they get upset because they wanted more amputee child miner 12000 simulator and less mayor of a city in hell simulator.
