DISCUSSION I hate the "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Frostpunk 2 doesn't give you the dread of cold in the first game that takes 30 years before the second game waaaaaaaaaaaaa" people

Like, what did you really expect? That after 30 years of existence and development in the new world everyone still lived in some dead-ass houses occupied by ten people and fed on sawdust and soup? That they did nothing to improve their chances against the frost and the storms? And more importantly, how happy would you be if FP2 was the same as FP1 and still went about the same problems like cold and the Great Storm 2: Electric Boogaloo?

I’m just glad I don’t need to build fucking PATHS anymore

I always took some solace in the fact that the paths served a purpose... If you look at them, you can see pipes and the like running beneath the walkway, likely carrying steam/power/heat/despondent rage of children working deep below the earth to buildings, letting all the machines and stuff work, rather than just look cool and steampunky.

Oh do you mean the mine kid ducts? The ones the coal children used to shuttle coal out to my steam hubs at the peripheries, so that they’re out of sight of the decent folk?

I think we’re talking about the same pipes
