However, finding Oil and Steam can be difficult. Coal is more readily available comparatively and is a more dependable Fuel source in Frostpunk 2 Chapter 1. However, players need to find other sources quickly as it becomes a primary objective.

That said, here is how you can find a permanent Fuel source in Frostpunk 2 Chapter 1:

• Make sure to gather some Coal stocks before heading out to find a permanent Fuel source. The area around New London has a lot of places where Coal can be found to sustain the city.
• Send out a chunk of your Frostland Teams to explore the Frozen Bay region and use the remaining ones to gather the workforce in the main city. While the expedition continues, you should prepare the city with new buildings and districts to accommodate different factions.
• A new quest will pop up after the Frozen Bay region has been explored hinting that an old machine is present somewhere near the Desolate Coast region. You can then find the exclamation mark in that place and send out a Frostland Team for exploration.
• During this time, you can rinse and repeat the same process and upgrade the city to maintain the balance required and the people’s needs.
• After the exploration, you will be able to find the Old Dreadnought in the region. Here you can click on the 'We Found Oil' button to find the permanent Fuel source in Frostpunk 2 Chapter 1.
• Once this is done, you can start building a colony at the Old Dreadnaught and ensure a steady supply of fuel after completion.

It is important to note that all resources in Frostpunk 2 are limited. There is no true unlimited Fuel source in Frostpunk 2 Chapter 1 as the game is built to provide a harsh gameplay experience in a dystopian ice-locked world. You will have to be on the constant lookout for new resources and secure as many items as possible to create a comfortable life for the citizens while withstanding Whiteouts.
