Why is Population important in Frostpunk 2?

You cannot do much in Frostpunk 2 if you do not have a sizeable workforce. Workforce is the general measure of how many people in your city are capable of working and are employed in carrying out their duties. Naturally, the bigger the workforce, the better you can carry out projects and expand the limits of your city.

How do Conditions help increase Population in Frostpunk 2?

The Population in your city is not invincible. People have their needs and wants, and if you fail to provide them with the right conditions for survival and work, your city's population will start to decline. This will cause major problems down the line as you will fail to complete projects and will be stuck in the middle of expanding the ambits of your dominion.

In Frostpunk 2, there are five conditions you need to fulfill to ensure that your Population is ever-growing in the game:

• Hunger
• Disease
• Cold
• Squalor
• Crime

Properly maintaining these factors will help you build a strong and sustainable city.
