Coal simulator
i really liked the first onehaven't played the second because of the reviewswaiting for the true followup
>>741351517In their defense, you're forcing them to work 12 hour shifts with their only sustenance being shitty watery soupLike this isn't some rich hearty soup, it's hot water with moss and a single tiny morsel of meat.
>>741351517by the time you build the bloodsport ring, they're literally in heated factories, have a bar, church,etc.
>thinking the "soup" is some thick delicious homemade soup with cream and fresh veggies and seasoning and tasty noodles instead of whatever food your people can get thrown into a pot of water and sawdustMedia literacy status?
>>741351664bread and circuses
>>741351517But what's the age of consent in this universe?
>>741351647And sawdust.
>>741351517food unironically drives people insane
shame the devs fell for the UE5 meme with the second game, it has really bad forced TAA ghosting. I dropped it after 15 minutes
>>74135174950 because everyone under that goes into the coal mines
>>741351749It's "too fucking cold for sex unless you go to the heated whorehouse"
>>741351854Yeah, how old is the whorehouse?

A little frostbite builds character. Amputations are good for you.
>>741351647hm, watery soup or freezing to death, tough choice
>>741351647OK but it's either a few weeks of intense labour with soup as the main meal, or it's starve and freeze and die. seems like an easy choice to me
Frostpunk 2 is really bad compared to the first one. The politics are just annoying because you just lose if you cant satisfy the parties and then you have to take care of people as well so additionaly its like 5 things you need to satisfy and cant build freely…
Can I make a brothel and make kids work in it?
>>741352239I'm pretty sure that's the intended experience. Leading the retarded flock of human sheep gets so aggravating that you're constantly tempted by the choice to take up the mantle of Captain and just strongarm them into listening to you. The game is a test of whether you can guide the people into saving themselves instead of saving them by force.
Yes yes, we survived the worst ice storm in human history with plenty of food and coal to spare.Yes, our technological progress was so rapid and impressive that our warmest structures kept us alive even under -150C.Yes I know we have our churches back, we have taverns, public houses, steam heated infirmaries and care houses, and even a boxing arena for recreation.Yes I admit, most of us don't even have to work anymore because the steam automatons are doing all the heavy labour.BUT THE CAPTAIN MADE ME EAT SAWDUST SOUP THAT ONE DAY BACK WHEN THE CITY WAS UNDER CONSTRUCTIONFUCK THE CAPTAIN I'M MOVING BACK TO LONDOOOOOOOON THIS IS WORSE THAN HELL
>>741352164>>741352202If you're using soup and still struggling, it's a genuine skill issue.
>>741352164I'd take freezing to death DESU.
>>741352843No you wouldn't.
>>741352146true
You will pray for more food, and your prayers will be answered
>>741352928In that kind of weather? It'll only be cold for a moment, and then you're warm forever.
>>741351749After a few laws being passed, you have toddlers working in coal piles and kitchens
>>741352202OK but you're still gonna be fucken disgruntled that you DO have to put up with such conditionsAnd if you're disgruntled enough, and someone else convinces you that they could do better than the dickhead currently in charge...
>>741352239Nah the shitheads are pretty easy to keep in lineDon't know how you 'just lose' from failing to satisfy anyone, I've been chasing the faction achievements and am used to having one constantly eternally raging at me and regularly launching riots
>>741352164sure retard but that doesn't mean they should be content with it, which is the whole problem
>>741352146Good for efficiency
>>741351969>>741353464Depressing
>>741354757you just have to mine enough coal for dessert
>>741351584coalburner simulator
>>741354824>Unless you want us to chop our hands off and do the same, we cannot compete!Well? What are you waiting for?
>>741351749
>>741352164It's working yourself to death for assholes who hate you vs dying on your own terms.
>>741351713>instead of whatever food your people can get thrown into a pot of waterAnd then have the food taken out before the soup is consumed.
The Captain doesn't want you to know this, but the children YEARN for the coal mines
>>741361940Hey, they're fucken warm
>takes your jobHow do steampunk robots even workHow do they even 'automate' the workplaces, they just sit on top
>>741362674I assume they have an internal map of the city for navigation and they spin a dedicated gear system for workplaces, although that doesn't make sense for every building
>>741351517>first game was about surviving and keep fighting against nature, second game was about some surviving + politicswtf happen ?
>>741365283You won against nature, duh
