I don't really think anything besides those two actually cover the "what if cold was everything" kind of snowy apocalypse

There was a relic you can find, that mentions the real reason for the collapsing temperatures. It was a failed experiment of some aerosol released into the atmosphere that unfortunately happened around the time when the volcanoes exploded. The Frost is man-made :(

Tbh it could be unreliable info piece, after all nothing guaranteed that even the scientists in the lore understoor the real reasons behind the Frost In fact it’d be cooler if there were a few solid hypothesis including tje aerosol one, but that is unreliable enough that we’rennot sure which one is true

Maybe the aerosol would have been fine if the vulcano didn't erupt, as in, the aerosol bonded with the volcanic ash and made something even worse. And to be fair to the scientists that invented the aerosol, how the heck do you test it's effect's on volcanic ash?

@vigigamehacker123

Can't be, you would need every single human working together to release enough aerosol to even have a statistically significant effect on the atmosphere. Think about it, we have been releasing insane amounts of CO2 for literally over >200 years and only just realised that it was actually starting to have consequences now

The real reason is not known and the devs have been clear that they will not explain the real reason. Maybe it is an aerosol, volcanos, sun dimming or all or none of them. It is made to not be clear because the why is not the point. It is now and how to handle it that is the point.

Been thinking to buy this game for a while now, but I think the mounting stress of declining resources would get the better of me. Thanks for the lore description instead!

Just so you know. There are infinite resources in the game. It is more a struggle of getting them. What you do with them. And when you do things that is the issue. I have managed to find a path that 100% work on the main campaign on normal without crossing any moral line or killing anyone. The only death is a scripted death.

@MagiconIce

Resources aren't really limited. Steelworks, Coal Mines and Wall Drills provide endless (not just very high amounts, really endless, infinite) amounts of the basic resources you need. The only "limited" resource are steam cores, since you can't build them yourself and you need to venture out into the frozen wasteland to find them. Why did I put it into quotation marks? Because there is an endless game mode, basically a sandbox and the frozen wasteland gets reset after each storm, so essentially you also have an infinite amount of steam cores to find. The only limitations are the rate at which you mineor gather the resources, that can turn into a problem. To run the generator constantly in anything else than the first setting or if you have multiple steam hubs and heaters in addition running, you'll need upgraded coal mines and these do cost steamcores, but are relatively cozy and warm inside lol.

I'm surprise more settlements didn't pop up near geothermal faults especially underground. These would give a lot of cover from the storms and warmth although food would remain a problem unless you could figure out how to grow underground or make fish farms below the surface.

Fun fact number 2: The devs have come out and said the cause of the great winter is unknown and will remain that way. Probably because they know the fans would spend too much time poking holes in it rather than playing their game.

If you look at the construction scenario the generator first step is digging a massive pit, so a lot of the machine is underground, it probably hooks into a geothermal system. Running the generator doesn't just make fire, it makes steam, so it has to be attached to a permanent source of water.

This is really good 👍

You know, everyone in frost punk are really kinda... stupid. One of the best insulators in the world is snow and ice. And they are also digging in mines for coal. Areas of the mines that are played out could easily be turned into shelter, and the city itself, if they piped the heat from the generators, and there should've been multiple generators not just one, into more underground areas, as dirt and rock are also incredible insulators, they'd've saved on wood and it would've been very warm. Even during the bad blizzard where temps dropped to inhumanly horrific temps, if they were willing to hole up underground and pipe their heat down there, or even build secondary generators using things like other generators found in abandoned cities, they'd've not had half the troubles. Not to mention they could've had their hot-houses underground, which means it would've cost LESS to heat them, and using light from either well placed mirrors to bring in sunlight, or light from electricity caused by the generators, they'd've had no trouble with food. And water? Harvesting snow and ice, and filtering the water as the snow melted, they'd've had MORE than enough water. Yet in the game and lore, they never even thought of these things. So yeah, they were kinda stupid.

I think the point of the video was to only touch on the 100% canon elements of the game; he kinda skipped over the details of how order and faith work and instead just skipped right to when the final storm happened.

The city must survive.

It could be, insanely if true, somebody made a nuclear bomb in 1889, and unleashed a nuclear winter. But if not, it must've been some doomsday weapon.

He also would more likely end up in southern Africa. Iceland would use geothermal heat, like it actually does.

The default camera angle is pointing towards the equator. If you read all the lore entries it says the storm is "Heading up from the south" and you see it appear at the top of the screen. and at one point a group of scientists tell you to "head south from here" and the new area unlocked is Above the area you just explored eg.Winterhome is North of New London, Tesla city is South of new London. So the camera is pointing to the equator by default.

This is disturbing. Before ever watching this, I had a dream about a kind of slaughter house with conveyors of meat, I was on the conveyor, missing some of my limbs, trundling along among the meat. I managed to roll off somehow. As if alerted by my movement, all of the meat started coming alive in different shapes and forms and began wandering around searching for me, I imagine. I hid beneath the conveyor as they closed in around me. I'm glad I woke up. One day, I'll have the motivation to write a full story around the idea of it.
