A walkthrough for Chapter 2 of Frostpunk 2. Read on for a detailed guide on how to complete Chapter 2 and all the objectives.

Construct Generator: Oil Pumps Research and Construct Surplus Injectors Activate Surplus Injectors & Reach Heat Surplus Survive the Whiteout

Construct Generator: Oil Pumps

If you chose to defeat the frost, you'll have to upgrade New London's Generator with Oil Pumps.

This improves the Generator's efficiency in processing oil to generate heat, but comes with two downsides:

1. Generator can only use Oil as fuel source.
2. Squalor is increased.

Squalor Management

Squalor can be managed by constructing buildings such as the Moss-Filtration Tower that goes in Housing Districts, and the Waste Repurposing Facility that goes in Industrial Districts.

Both solutions can be researched under Filtration Towers and Waste Management Facilities in the Resources tab of the Idea Tree.

Research and Construct Surplus Injectors

With the oil pumps in place, you can now research the next upgrade for the Generator which enables Surplus Injectors. This allows the Generator to burn excess oil and increase the output of all districts by up to 15%.

Surplus Injectors can be researched under Generator Upgrade II in the Heating tab of the Idea Tree, and costs 4 Cores to construct.

Explore the Frostland for Cores

Cores cannot be manufactured and can only be obtained by sending Frostland Teams to explore the frostland.

Activate Surplus Injectors and Reach Heat Surplus

Activate the Surplus Injectors and increase the oil output going from the Old Dreadnought to New London to reach a Heat Surplus. This should let you meet the Heat demand for the incoming whiteout.

How to Get More Oil

There are other sources of Oil in the frostland:

• Directly below the Old Dreadnought.
• Northern boundary of the frostland, above the Old Dreadnought.

You can also build Coal Liquefactors that convert Coal into Oil. Coal Liquefactors can be researched under the Heating tab of the Idea Tree. They also increase Squalor so make sure your solutions are ready!

How to Transfer Oil

Survive the Whiteout

Survive the whiteout by stockpiling resources in Hubs. Ideally, this should be done while you're working towards the Generator upgrades.

You can also switch the Generator to run in Overdrive if you still cannot meet the Heat demand.

How to Survive Whiteouts

Embrace the Frost

Look for Resources in the Frostland

If you choose to embrace the frost, your goal now is to explore the frostland and look for settlements which will become your main source of resources.

New London's Generator will be outfitted with adaptive pumps which allows the use of any type of fuel.
