In the sequel of Frostpunk, you’ll discover chances to enhance your city and its districts. This is a significant element in the game you shouldn’t overlook. To access these upgrades, you’ll need to explore concepts hidden within the Frostpunk 2 Idea Bank.
In this write-up, let’s walk you through the steps needed to access the Innovation Hub, also known as the Idea Tree, in Frostpunk 2, and discuss the diverse enhancements it offers.
How to Unlock the Frostpunk 2 Idea Tree
To begin, it’s essential to understand that you must construct a Research Institute initially to unlock the Idea Tree in Frostpunk 2. This structure serves as your key to initiate research on enhancements that will significantly facilitate your gaming experience.
One of your tasks in this journey is constructing a Research Institute. Don’t worry about encountering too much trouble with that; just keep moving forward! However, please note that you won’t be able to start building right away. Instead, you must first finish the game’s introduction or prologue. Once the game presents you with the opportunity, swiftly gather the necessary resources and begin construction without delay.
As soon as the Research Institute is complete, the Idea Tree will be instantly accessible within the game. This will give you the chance to explore and research ideas aimed at enhancing your city and its constituent districts.
All Frostpunk 2 Idea Tree Ideas
After learning how to get hold of these power-ups, it’s essential to understand what each one entails. Here, then, we have organized a comprehensive list of concepts grouped by category, which you can explore and apply.
