How to Get More Food in Frostpunk 2

Everyone needs food. Everyone.

Food is one crucial resource that keeps your city alive in Frostpunk 2. With a food shortage, your city will start losing trust in leadership, decrease in population, and increase tension among people. Luckily, Food is easy to extract early in the game. However, it gets hard really fast once you start losing food deposits. Even if you extract all the food deposits in your area, there are still ways to get Food. Here’s how you can get more Food in Frostpunk 2.

How to Extract Food in Frostpunk 2

Extracting Food for your city requires building an Extraction District on a food tile or land with fertile soil. When you build districts, you can see icons on some of the tiles in your area. Look for the one that looks like a plant or leaf, and these will be the food tiles.

Place an Extraction District on as many food tiles as possible. However, it is worth noting that building on multiple food tiles doesn’t increase your food extraction rate or output. It only increases the total amount of resources you can extract from the district.

This is important because, like in Chapter One of the campaign, several food tiles are next to each other, and it is better to place two Extraction Districts to extract around 8 food tile nodes instead of having one that covers six. This is inefficient, but it depends on the situation.

Where to Get More Food Sources in Frostpunk 2

While extracting Food from these tiles is the main way of getting Food, you can improve your consumption in several ways. Passing laws that reduce food consumption is an indirect way of getting more food because your city will consume less. Researching food benefits or sources from the Idea Tree is the second best way of getting more Food.

This feature ensures that you can get Food even if you run out of food sources in your area. The last way to get more Food is through expeditions. Build your Logistics Districts and get your Frostland Teams to explore for resources outside your city.

There are also some rare occasions in the campaign where you can tighten the Wanderer’s belts so they consume less food (prologue).
