Refer to the list above, and make sure you are only employing the synergies that provide you with positive effects. Some of the more ideal bonuses you should strive to achieve are:

1. Reduced Heating requirement
2. Workplace efficiency
3. Workforce required

Reduced Heating requirements ensure your stocks of Heat remain replenished and at an all-time high. Efficient use of such resources can prepare you better for the oncoming Whiteout in the game. Heat is a valuable resource, and it is extremely hard to come by during the toughest months of the Season. You should potentially try and secure this bonus to reap the benefits provided by this District Synergy.

Workplace efficiency, as evident, will allow your workers to work faster and better. In turn, your projects will finish quicker, your production will be quite high, and better yet, the team morale achieved due to such Synergy can help lower Tension in the game.

Lastly, an increased Workforce will ensure the majority of your population remains employed. This will help accumulate resources, expand your dominion, and better yet, provide a sense of security to all your Citizens.

All in all, having these Synergies active is a massive game-changer. When possible, we urge you to consider carefully placing Districts to achieve these bonuses and progress easier in FP2.
