Frostpunk 2 has received its first major content update. Here’s a guide to help you learn about everything new that is added.
Frostpunk 2, one of the most famous and difficult city builders, has finally received one of the promised major content updates to the game. These content updates are not as large as DLCs. However, they add a lot of depth to the existing base game. On top of that, content updates such as these are completely free – you can just download the update and enjoy everything in-game.
Here’s an article to help you catch up with most of the new stuff added in the first free major content update for Frostpunk 2.
Brand New Map in Frostpunk 2
There’s a completely new sandbox map for the aspiring builders who wish to build their city without many restrictions. This new map is known as The Pit and is available in the Utopia Builder mode as a starting location. Utopia Builder mode is a sandbox mode that allows you to build without worrying about the end of the playthrough. With so much space, the entire survival aspect of Frostpunk 2 can start to feel a bit therapeutic.

Tales to Keep the Experience Fresh
Introduced in this update is a brand new setting known as Tales. You can find these in the starting menu, where you select your difficulty. Tales are harrowing challenges that can increase the difficulty of the game a lot. Moreover, turning on these Tales can either add new events or change existing elements to make your run more interesting. Here are the three Tales currently available in Frostpunk 2:
- Beacon of Hope – Provide shelter and resources for all newcomers escaping their fallen city.
- Apocalyptic Whiteout – Survive a catastrophic and long Whiteout.
- Depleted Cores – Search the frostland to restore an unfinished IEC Core Factory.
Updated Heat Management in Frostpunk 2
As you know, Frostpunk is all about managing heat to survive the long and harrowing winter. However, many players had problems understanding the previous UI, as managing different district heat was much more difficult. With the new system, you can precisely track how much heat each district is receiving so that you can make proper changes.
Moreover, many more events are added that are related to changes in the temperature. People are going to react much more if they get cold. Negotiations and protests occur randomly and can pose varying challenges.
Frostpunk 2 Mod Support
As confirmed by the developers, every update that they make has great mod compatibility. Moreover, people can use existing resources to make various mods. Frostkit is now live and has left the beta stage. It is a tool that 11 bit studios had made with the help of the community. This tool can vastly help modders to create much optimized and better mods.
