Hunger is a city problem inFrostpunk 2that can increase Disease and Tension, and decrease Population Growth, if left unchecked. It is thus very important that players keep their City’s Hunger under control, and there are several ways to approach that endeavor. This guide is here to elaborate upon that statement, and it will help fans address Hunger inFrostpunk 2.
Players should get in the habit of occasionally hovering over thebowlicon under the Resource Drawer at the top of the screen. This action will cause an information pane to appear, and it reveals details about Hunger in the City. If those details indicate that Hunger is “Absent,” then keeping it “Stable” is acceptable. However, if Hunger is anything but “Absent,” or it is “Growing,” players should use the following methods to get it to “Diminishing.”
Frostpunk 2: How to Decrease Hunger
Food Scarcity
Food Scarcity will activate if a player is unable to meet theirCity’s demand for Food, and indeed that effect is what causes Hunger to increase. As such, players who are trying to decrease their City’s Hunger must focus on maintaining a Food surplus in order to eliminate Food Scarcity. Here are the actions thatstrategy gamefans can take to meet their City’s Food demands, and they will know that they have overcome Food Scarcity if the bar beneath theplant iconat the top of the screen is gold:
If a player has a stockpile of Food, they can maintain a Food surplus even while the number next to the plant icon is negative. However, Food Scarcity will become active as soon as the stockpile is consumed, and fans ofcity-buildersshould use the following methods to turn the number positive before that occurs.
Building a Hothouse in a Food District gives the District the “Excessive Fertilisation” ability. This ability can be activated by clicking on the Food District and then clicking on the “Excessive Fertilisation” circle at the bottom of the information pane that appears, and it increases Food Production Efficiency. However, “Excessive Fertilisation” also increasesDisease inFrostpunk 2.
Players can increase the rate at which they receive food from Harvesting Areas by researching an Idea within Harvester Hangers (Idea Tree: Frostland) and constructing the Building that they unlock in a Logistics District.
