Everything you need to know to get started with the Frostpunk 2 Frostland Explorations

What are the Frostlands in Frostpunk 2

Frostlands are the vast and cold areas surrounding the City (Image via 11 bit studios)

The Frostlands are essentially vast frozen territory where the Frostpunk City is based. It is the large arena where the City is based and is littered with dead wastelands and former locations such as the Ashtop Mountains, Frozen Bay, Mountains, and more.

Players can explore these areas using Frostland Teams. They are groups of scouts who brave the frozen lands and look for new settlements and areas that could provide sustenance like Coal, Food, or Steam Cores to the city and make sure that the City does not fall.

Build your Frostland Teams to get started with the explorations

One of the first things you need to do before you head out for Frostpunk 2 Frostland Explorations is build your Frostland Teams. They are essentially scouting parties who go out and explore the Frostland and look for new settlements and old places that are a treasure trove of resources.

You can build your Frostland Teams by building Logistics Districts that you can place on the compass icons at the edge of the City's map. Each Logistic District that you build maintains fifteen Frostland Teams when your Workforce is there at full capacity.

You can upgrade this number by upgrading the Frostland section of the Ideas Tree if you wish to recruit more Frostland Teams to get started with the Frostpunk 2 Frostland Explorations. To find out the number of Frostland Teams that are available, check the number next to the compass icon on the upper-right side of the screen.

How to explore Frostlands in Frostpunk 2

Begin Frostpunk 2 Frostland Explorations from the map (Image via 11 bit studios)

Once your Frostland Teams are ready, click on the mountain icon in the upper-right section of the screen to access the Frostland map. Additionally, you can zoom out until the screen shows the map. Once the map is opened up, you can now deploy Frostland Teams to look for resources or survivors.

In the beginning, you will only be able to access areas right next to New London. Once you explore those areas, other places will be unlocked. When you select a region, it will open up a window that will show the following information:

• Number of Frostland Teams needed to explore the region
• Resources likely to be found after completing the exploration
• The danger level of the exploration
• Duration of the exploration

As with most exploration-related mechanics, the regions that are farther off and with a higher danger level will reap better rewards compared to low-risk expeditions. You must also remember that the number of Frostland Teams you sanction for an exploration will be unavailable until that quest is completed.

What are the benefits of Frostpunk 2 Frostland Explorations?

Once you complete an expedition, diamond-shaped icons will appear on the map in the newly-unlocked area. When you click the icon, it will display what the rewards are for completing the expedition. Most of these expeditions will give you a choice between a set of rewards based on your actions during the expedition.

Completing an expedition will reward you with massive stockpiles of resources, population, Steam Cores, or even the ability to turn the outpost or area into a settlement and reap long-term rewards.

Expeditions are a great way for you to get your hands on rare loot and resources crucial in expanding and upgrading the City. Choosing dangerous Expeditions will reward you with better and higher quality rewards. You can also build training centers at the Logistic Districts to prepare your Frostland Teams to handle more difficult missions.

Apart from Frostpunk 2 Frostland Explorations, these Frostland Teams can also be trained and used for operating Outposts and Settlements by creating trails.

What are Trails and how to create them in Frostpunk 2

Once you complete certain Frostpunk 2 Frostland Explorations, you will uncover Outposts and Settlements that can be controlled to reap resources and rewards. Outposts that require a trail will be highlighted next to it. Trails cost Heatstamps and Prefabs, so make sure you have enough in stock before you begin building one.

Trails are essentially conduits that connect these remote Outposts to central hubs and act as a gateway of transport for resources and such. You can build a trail and connect the Outpost to central nodes or established Colonies like New London or another existing trail that is already connected to a Colony.

Your map will display endpoints that need to be connected for the trail to be completed. Once you reach a Colony or endpoint, hit the check mark and confirm it to dispatch your Frostland Teams to build it. Additionally, you will see areas with a black dot representing how far the section of the trail can be continued.

Remember that building trails over rough terrain will cost you more. You need to be strategic in placing your trails so future Outposts and Settlements can be connected to them instead of you having to build new networks during your Frostpunk 2 Frostland Explorations.
