We can't have workers dying left and right, so that's where safety measures come in-another of of The Last Autumns most important systems.

I can't decide if this horrible addition is better or worse than using sawdust to bulk up the food rations you use in the base game. Yep, you can now poison your workers to the point that they could overdose. The law tree is similar to the base game with the exception of a few new unlockables like cocaine pills that keep your worker's motivation up. The hope meter at the bottom of the screen has been replaced with a motivation meter, and the adaptation law book is replaced with administration. The Last Autumn conjures a feeling of desperation that sets Frostpunk apart from other survival games and city building sims. When part of the generator was close to being finished I always wanted to push workers a little bit more. Will you still push your people to get it done, even though their sacrifice is for someone else entirely? It felt like an interesting approach to this classic conflict, one that fit with lore and setting well and we were eager to pursue it.'Įach generator stage demands more from you, even though you've only just scraped over the finish line of the previous stage. It's for other people, planned to evacuate here sometime in the future, whom you'll probably never meet. 'But with The Last Autumn there is a twist: you're not building the generator for yourself. 'The theme of sacrifice and survival was very much a narrative axis for us,' Stokalski says. The expansion is very effective at making you feel each loss. Workers go in, but there's a possibility that they might never come out again. It feels like you're pouring your resources into a hungry open mouth that eats everything up, including workers. Every scrap of resource that doesn't go into buildings will all go to the construction of the generator, which needs a whopping fifty workers to build. Within the centre of the camp is a deep, circular pit where your generator will be erected. Britain will even send you more workers, engineers, and steam cores for when your production line increases. Building a dock near the water's edge will allow British ships to supply you with one resource of your choice coal, wood, or steel. The strained metallic noises of the generator are absent and have been replaced with the crashing of waves and caw of seagulls. Your settlement is placed somewhere that looks like the end of the world. Your camp is an outstretched arm of the British Empire, which sends you regular shipments of resources.
