Frostbreak Towards Resources

Start by Frostbreaking (X key) from the Old Dreadnought to the nearby Oil and Construction Wagons. Build an Extraction District on an Oil Wagon to start harvesting Oil.

With the source of Oil secured, click on the Old Dreadnought and activate the Furnace to acquire a source of Heat.

Use the Pause Function

Time is an important resource! Remember to use the Pause function if you're looking around the map or uncertain of your next step!

Provide Basic Infrastructure

Provide Basic Infrastructure Tips
Collect Prefabs Build Two Housing Districts

Collect Prefabs

Prefabs are resources that are used in the construction of Districts and Buildings. Prefab resource nodes are indicated by an icon with a brick and log.

List of All Resources

Build Two Housing Districts

Housing Districts are the primary means of providing shelter for the people. Ideally, you should place Housing Districts near the furnace or beside each other to reduce Heat Demand.

How to Get Shelter

Gain Access to Food

Build Food Districts

While your Housing Districts are being built, Frostbreak northwards towards fertile soil, indicated by a plant icon and build a Food District on them.

Continue Frostbreaking towards the resource nodes north of the Old Dreadnought until you reach the Seal Colony, another source of food.

Prepare for the Whiteout

Prepare for the Whiteout Tips
Stockpile Enough Food for the Whiteout Make a Sacrifice

Stockpile Enough Food for the Whiteout

You'll need to stockpile a whopping 40,000 Food to survive the whiteout. If you have access to the Seal Colony, build a Food District on top to get an additional source of Food.

Optionally, you can order Emergency Shifts on your Food Districts to expedite Food production, or instruct the Wanderers to Tighten Belts to temporarily reduce Food consumption.

Make a Sacrifice

If you still haven't stockpiled enough Food just before the whiteout, you'll be presented with the option of slaughtering the seal colony or letting the elders go into the frost.

The consequence of either choice does not matter because you'll manage another city in the next chapter.
