Utilize the pause feature if you’re unsure which step to take. This allows you to take your time making various decisions for your economy to determine which problems should be prioritized.
You'll always be racing against the clock so time is a valuable resource!
Note: The pause function is disabled in Survivor mode!
In the early stages of the game, you should always keep Frostbreaking towards a resource node.
Once you have access to all the resource nodes in the map, Frostbreak the surroundings near the Generator so you can build more Districts later on.
Note: Frostbreaking requires 30 Heatstamps and 200 Workforce. Frostbreak only if you have the spare resources!
The citizens regularly offer solutions to existing problems, so you may want to consider their proposals.
Acting on their requests improves your relations with them and could prove beneficial in the future.
Laws have a long cooldown before you can enact another, as the council takes a recess after each meeting. Researching ideas also takes a long time to complete, so it's ideal to always research an idea and propose laws whenever they are available!
Do a manual save before passing laws to see if the hesitant delegates vote for it without the need to negotiate with them. This will avoid making promises to a certain faction that doesn't align with your plans for the city, such as which laws to pass and ideas to research.
Launch expeditions as often as possible to potentially discover resources for your city, so you won't be relying as much on the deposits around your city, which will deplete soon. Expeditions can also yield Steam Cores, which is an important resource that can only be found through exploration.
