Hunger is a major aspect that you’ll need to take care of, as a Steward in Frostpunk 2. There are many factors which influence hunger, and balancing all these factors is one of the many challenges that you will face in the game.
Since it’s one of the basic needs of your settlement, if you don’t manage it effectively, it can lead to potential “game over” scenarios as well.
So, here’s how you can reduce and effectively manage hunger in Frostpunk 2.
How to get more food and lower hunger in Frostpunk 2
The easiest way to get more food is by focusing on research areas and constructing buildings which increase your food output.
Once you’ve unlocked the Idea tab, you’ll be able to research:
- Hothouses
- Advanced Hothouses
- Panaceum Factory
These options will be available under the Society tab. Alternatively, you can also focus on passing laws that help with increasing food production.
Finally, you’ll need to ensure that you’re building Food Districts on fertile soil. This will boost the food output by a considerable amount.
Alternatively, you’ll also need to invest into research branches that unlock passives that boost food production.
In Frostpunk 2, hunger is affected by three major reasons, which are:
- Food Scarcity
- Lack of Food-related Laws
- Boosting Food Production Efficiency
So, the steps mentioned above should address all three pointers that affect hunger. Finally, it’s worth remembering that whenever you’re passing laws about boosting food production, if you’re looking into Chemical Additives, then it’ll also increase the risk of your settlers contracting diseases.
Finally, you can also send your scouts on foraging expeditions to look for more food resources. Not only can they provide you with fresh locations, they’ll also help you set up Harvesting Hangers, which can give you a much needed boost when it comes to managing Hunger in Frostpunk 2.
