If you want to make more money and have more workers in Frostpunk 2, you need to have more people living in your city. Generally, keeping your city comfortable is enough to make your population grow, but there are ways to make it grow even faster. This guide will show you how to do just that.
How to Increase Population
The population of your city will increase naturally over time, but you can accelerate this by passing laws and making other moves that attract people to live within its borders. Many of these options become available if you pursue the Faith storyline, so feel free to choose that path if you’d like to try this method.
Living Conditions
If you want to increase your population, make sure your city is a good place to live. That means keeping all five of the problems that are at the top of your screen under control. If you are facing any of those problems these guides can help you.
Buildings
There are only a few buildings in Frostpunk 2 that can help you increase your population. To build these buildings, you’ll need to research certain ideas in the Society category.
Here are some buildings you can build to increase your population.
Recovery Hospital
You can build recovery hospitals if you research hospitals in the Society category. These hospitals can be built in residential areas and will definitely help your population grow.
Incubation House
You can build an incubation house if you research it in the Society category and make progress in Reason. This is a radical idea, so you’ll need to have enough points in Reason to pursue it.
Establishing Laws
There are laws you can pass that will make your population grow faster. You can introduce these laws to the council after researching certain ideas. Here’s a list of those laws and how to unlock them.
- Parenthood: Dedicated Motherhood: This law encourages women to focus on motherhood.
- Relationships: Relationship Rotation: This law assigns couples based on compatibility.
- Relationships: Mandatory Marriage: This law requires all adults to be married.
- Procreation: Birthing Programme: This law creates a program to encourage childbirth. This requires progress in Reason.
- Procreation: Mandatory Procreation: This law requires all couples to have children. This requires progress in Tradition.
- Outsiders: Accept All Outsiders: This law welcomes all outsiders into your city.
- Outsiders: Allow Productive Outsiders: This law allows only those outsiders who can contribute to your city.
Exploring Frostland
As you explore the frozen world, you might find places that can help your population grow. You can connect these places to your city using trails. Some places will give you a boost to your population right away, but you might have to pay a price. You might also find special events that can give you a sudden increase in population.
Conclusion
If you expand your population too quickly, you will just have tons of new problems. You’ll require a lot of heat, food, and provisions, and it will cost you more to keep your city running. Be careful, or your new people just will be busy fixing their problems instead of helping you grow.
