Hello to all of you, dear game lovers, I am with you on another cold winter night. The Frostpunk series has hooked me so much that I want to play and finish it as soon as possible, but on the other hand, I want to share every episode I play with you so that maybe someone might want to join the adventure in the next episode. I am currently accompanied by 6 Hiveans in the game. Oh when I say accompanying, I mean I name the characters in the game after my friends in Hive and that's what I'm talking about, we don't play the game together. These names are @queenstarr, @technicalside, @frankevor, @bong1011, @hrichakar and @pravesh0. I checked at the start of the episode and you are all alive and well. So don't worry my friends! You can read the previous episode by clicking here.
For those who haven't read the previous episode, I will make a short summary as usual. I raised hope and lowered unrest, so I completed all four main tasks. Just as we were rejoicing, we learned that the generator had malfunctioned and we started to research. The results of the research were terrible. The generator is melting down and even if we fix it, it will eventually break down and explode in a way that can never be repaired. The only thing we can do is emigrate. We have to find somewhere else, so we need to send engineers to the dreadnought. It's going to be very difficult because we have very few engineers, but we have to.
At the beginning of the previous episode I took stock of the situation and I plan to do this at the beginning of every episode. At the beginning of the previous episode our coal production was almost the same as our consumption and I said I would increase our production and I did that. We are now producing more than twice as much coal as we consume and so we have a stockpile full of coal.
Actually our wood production was more than that, but since the debris is almost gone, our only option for collecting wood is wall drilling. Its production is 201 per day and we have to use it economically.
The same goes for steel. Fortunately we have two steel mills and thanks to them we can produce 210 steel per day. I think twice about research because it is all very expensive. Right now steel is extremely valuable for us.
As for food, I have done an amazing job. As you can see, we can stock 700 food rations a day. Almost all the workers are working as hunters because there is nowhere else for them to work lol.
We only have 7 patients and we can heal people immediately. I hope not many people get sick because I have very few engineers. I use them all for technology and repairing the generator.
All the people live in the warmest houses. They have zero chance of getting sick. They can only get sick when they are working, and I am trying my best to prevent that. The only thing I cannot prevent is the generator breaking down.
The first thing I did when I started the episode was to send the engineers I prepared in the previous episode. to go and fix the dreadnought and get it ready for the voyage. We'll leave Winterfell sooner or later.
I've started an upgrade that will allow me to increase the efficiency of the repair station by 10%. It should be repaired as soon as possible. It may be warm now, but tomorrow it will be colder and it will get colder every day.
The generator suddenly stopped. Fortunately, I've put a lot of engineers there and they will start working on it right away and fix it.
People have arrived on the dreadnought and they will start preparing it. We can start sending people now, but we have to provide quarters and food with the people we are evacuating. The more people we send, the more we need. We have to balance this very well for a successful evacuation. We need to send 1 steam core and 300 steel to create the first cabin. 300 steel? That's more than I can produce in a day. Oh, damn it. And we urgently need to send 250 food rations for the people we're sending to the dreadnought now. Food rations are no problem, but steam cores and steel will be hard to come by. I hope we can work it out somehow.
We managed to fix the generator, but next time it will be much more difficult. How promising. Do you also notice that each episode gets more difficult?
I've started the first civil voyage to dreadnought. I sent 30 kids, 800 food portions, 1 steam core and 300 steel so they can build the first cabin.
We've sent the basic supplies. Now we need to send enough coal. And then all we have to do is give the order to set sail. Then the dreadnought will sail. But... There are still a lot of people in the city. I have to find resources for them, too. It's going to get harder because every person I send means less people working in the city. For example, I can't send an engineer right now. They're all working. It seems to make the most sense to send the kids ahead.
By the way, I need to send 5000 coal to the dreadnought. Also as many people as I can send, 5000 food portions and of course steel and steam cores to make more cabins.
We received a notice that the children's condition will worsen the longer they stay here. We have to send them away as soon as possible. I have 5 days to send 50 children away. It's not difficult. I can send 50 children. I have enough food. The problem is I don't have enough steel.
We'll add additional cabins, but we won't be able to save everyone in Winterfell. because we can only add five cabins at most, and that's 250 places. We are about 570 people. And I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to send all 250. We need a lot of steel.
The next day I sent 50 children and some food and coal with the dreadnought.
In the evening of that day a man came and told me that one of the boys who had gone the previous time was his only son in the world. His wife had died in the fire. He said that the boy could not have survived without him. He may be right. Next time I'll send you to your son man.
The generator's broken again! We fixed it on the 13th day and it broke down again on the 15th. We could only use it for 2 days. I think the game is trying to push my limits again.
Here's another news that makes me sad! I can evacuate disabled people only if we make them prosthetics. I'm afraid I don't have time for that right now. I have to save the healthy ones. If I feel I have time left, I promise I'll try to save you too.
Oh, of course! I can understand that you are tired. Of course, you may not want to work 4 extra hours on the brink of death. What could happen? At most the generator explodes and we die!
The generator is completely shut down due to a malfunction and the whole city is freezing. People have come begging me to speed up the repair of the generator. I tell them I'm doing my best, which I am. I'm really putting all the engineers I have to work. It would be a lot easier if I didn't have to send 25 engineers there.
So here we are at the end of another episode, everything is very complicated right now. I wish we had more steel and steam cores. The longer we stay here, the riskier it gets. I hope I can somehow evacuate as many people as I can. Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed it. Take care and watch out for the cold!
