Increase population

One of the most direct ways to increase the Workforce in Frostpunk 2 is to increase your City's population. The strength of your Workforce is directly linked to the population, so growing the latter lets you have a strong Workforce at hand, which you can allocate to different Districts and tasks.

While a City's population will grow continuously if all the living conditions are favorable, players can also actively seek to help the process by adding new Buildings and shelters. You can also ensure healthy population growth by keeping factors such as Hunger, Disease, Cold, Squalor, and Crime at bay.

Workforce slider

Every District needs a 100% Workforce to have peak performance and optimal output. You can click on a District and check its current Workforce supply, and use the Workforce slider to adjust it to make more of it available for other Districts or activities.

While you can reallocate the Workforce pool to other sectors, you must remember that less than 100% Workforce affects the efficiency of a District. If for example, you wish to ramp up the production of the Food District, you can reallocate the Workforce from the Logistics or Extraction District by adjusting the slider.

Hubs are crucial in decreasing the Workforce required to run nearby Districts and will let you have more citizens to employ in critical Districts such as Food or Housing.

Place Hubs strategically near Districts to provide an all-access point and efficiently distribute the Workforce. Make sure to keep an eye on the Workforce in every District by selecting it and checking its details.
