Frostpunk | 2024 Complete Beginner's Guide | Episode 1

Frostpunk is a wonderful if brutal survival building management game. Frostpunk takes places in an alternate timeline where the world is freezing and people are fleeing London in search of a new home. The game is quite but, but Frostpunk can be incredibly challenging. In this complete beginners guide to Frostpunk, I will explain to you the basics from the ground up by starting a brand new game so you can watch and even play along. I will explain the controls, the UI, the mechanics, how to build, upgrade, grow, explore, research, and survive. I detail my thought process, sharing tips and tricks along the way but I spoil nothing about the game or the story. I don't force a particular path or tell you to min/max, but rather help by providing the fundamentals so you can enjoy Frostpunk at your own pace. If you are thinking of buying the game and want to see early gameplay, or have purchased it but would like some pointers on the basics, this is the guide for you!

[@N0VAghost]

Thank you dude, I just lost my first try to everyone dying of sickness and hunger. The first set-up you showed was much appreciated!

[@DrIncompetent]

You are so welcome! This game is great but it's really brutal at first... it's brutal later as well but in different ways haha

[@N0VAghost]

@@DrIncompetent oh yeah this game kicked my ass multiple time, haha xD

[@namethis]

this game is super addictive, I'm replaying the same starting scenario over and over again and everytime it goes slightly different haha. think I've found the right channel to learn more about it, thanks for the great videos!

[@DrIncompetent]

I tell you what--I also had to restart several times!

[@many_can8694]

thank you so much bro i just downloaded this game from gamepass and it was very complicated till i saw your video i really appreciate your help,you just earned a sub

[@DrIncompetent]

Thank you so much my friend! I am so glad you are finding this series to be helpful and I hope you are enjoying the game!

[@dick8689]

This is great, i love the concept of this game, i just suck at it, this is what i needed!

[@DrIncompetent]

Haha, me too at first! A lot to learn but really fun when you get into it ;D

[@doru1nf1]

Alright dude after i saw the "I did my best" message a few times i end up here thank you for the tips

[@DrIncompetent]

Haha, I got that message myself ;D It's a tough game!

8:15 “the icon for coal is this kind of hexagonal gem” I’m guessing bro doesn’t do a lot of grilling or camping. That is what coal looks like my dude.

[@DrIncompetent]

Haha, you mean charcoal briquettes?

[@matts5247]

@@DrIncompetent yes if you want to call it by its technical name. Obviously coal can come in any shape as it’s broken off. But for the average person when they think of coal they think of charcoal since almost no one living in 2023 has seen actual coal (unless they were naughty as a kid at Christmas jk 🤣) Whereas most people have seen charcoal and therefore that’s what they think of as an image in their head when thinking of coal. And as developers of a game doing the design they have to come up with an icon that people can look at and know it represents coal as opposed to wood or steel. And so they choose the shape that is most commonly thought of which is yes, as you mentioned, a charcoal briquette. In all honesty though I was jsut giving you a hard time as you’re clearly an intelligent dude and everyone has brain farts from time to time and seeing as at the end of the day it’s jsut semantics so it doesn’t really matter. Anyhow, I just started playing the game and have enjoyed your video. I honestly wish it had been the first one I watched.

[@KirbyTheKirb]

Just got the game. Half population ended up sick and amputated and ended up starving all to death pretty much. Did not understand how important gathering posts are.

[@DrIncompetent]

Yes! I had to restart several times. It's intended, I think--the only way to learn is to get crushed haha

[@Bakerstreetgaming]

i keep wanting to play this again, just looking for new ways to play

[@DrIncompetent]

It's such a fun game!

[@Bakerstreetgaming]

@@DrIncompetent it really is a fun game, but always I go the route of kind though

[@MrCleetSR388]

Try Ixion!

[@DrIncompetent]

I will someday! It's on my list ;D Look cool!

[@MrCleetSR388]
