How to transfer resources – Frostpunk 2

by

As an experienced gamer who has braved the frozen wastelands of Frostpunk 2, I can confidently say that the ability to transfer resources between cities has been a game-changer. It’s like being a modern-day Magellan, navigating the icy trails and skyways to ensure the survival of my people.

In Frostpunk 2, moving resources serves the purpose of delivering materials to areas lacking them. This is particularly beneficial when you discover oil outside New London and wish to transport this fresh source of fuel back to your primary settlement. You can choose between two methods: setting up a continuous trade route for regular deliveries or opting for a one-time large transfer of resources instead.

How to create a trade route

To keep a consistent supply of goods moving between two cities, you’ll need to establish a link between them first. This step should have ideally been accomplished during the location scouting phase, but if not, switch to the map view and press the “Trail or Skyway” button located in the lower-right corner. Then, draw a route from one site to New London.

After establishing a connection, look for the city’s icon that will show up in the top-right corner of your screen, just below the timeline. Once found, click on this icon and then click the cube icon. For instance, press the Old Dreadnought button followed by “Resources Transfer“. This is where you can decide which resources are being sent to New London or coming from it.

The amount of goods you can transfer at a time depends on the type of route you constructed. A Trail is cheaper, but will only allow a smaller quantity of supplies. Once created, a Resource Transfer will continue until no supplies are left.

How to transfer a lump sum of resources

Instead of continuously providing goods, there’s the option of giving a one-time payment of resources. This method can be helpful when you have an abundance of goods stored away and need to distribute a significant amount all at once without worrying about continuous delivery.

Just like previously, access the Resource Transfer page by clicking on an icon representing a city from the world map located at the upper right corner. On the Resource Transfer interface, hover over the desired resource and click the ‘5k’ button on the side to dispatch your supplies.

As a dedicated fan, I’m excited about the continuous flow of resources that’s about to commence. It’s crucial to keep an eye on the demands of each city and even consider enhancing the Trails into Skyways to maximize the amount of resources moving along our trading route simultaneously.
