      True story. Music's great. The "Violin section of "The city must survive"" joke cracked me up so hard my neighbours checked up on me :D
      Btw. did you check out the first of 11 bit studio's depressing games? "This war of mine"? For me, having my firstborn soon before the release of that title, this was... Fuck's sake, "Frostpunk" is dark, but surviving in the besieged city, even if the game mechanics may not be up to par with newer title was simply horrifying. Seriously, it was first title that I struck me so hard.

      It will get better till the end of each game ... if your city survived in the end.
      I only saw one Stream of Frostpunk & read alot of people opinions, so i can tell you (even just the "A new Home" scenario) this game is quite tough & brutal ... but also has many light hearted & amazing moment. How good or bad things happened in the game is all heavily base on "your decision making":
      - How good you are at placing Building together to not get cold?
      - Can you managing resources to balance the life quality of your citizents ?
      - Could you increasing the people Hopes, while keep the Discontent low enough (or down to zero at best) ?
      ... if you can just do "good enough" at this 3 main issue, constantly getting more & more resources while keep the people "happy & healthy" ... your City "Will Survived" !!!
      Althought all the Laws you can enforced will improved either your Resources or the Hope/Discontent, some of them has draw-back (more or less) that will make your citizents question your leadership ... but keep in mind about this: "You dont necessary have too used them !". If your city is doing well, some Laws will be unecessary ... or not yet, and better unlocked if needed later. If you "dont like" any law that challenging your morality & make you feel bad, you dont have to enforced it, as your citizent also dont want that said Laws too. Even when we players have to choose either "Order" or "Faith" to keep your people together, some players just only used the first few Laws (a few dont even used any) and dont go all the way down.
      Some Citizents want to leave the City, and they want more people to join them back to London, while you are ever closer to losing Leader positions (aka: losing the game), the "main reason" you have to choose these path & there Laws is too reclaimed the Peace & Unity in the first place ... so no more people gonna left & definitely will all die in the cold, if they do. But how far you're willing go to deal with this crisis and become either a Dictatorship or a Religious zealot over the freedom & humanity of the City, is up to your playstyle, of course. Some players gain control over the city, but let the leaving people go (and even supplied & give them farewell), many others go full on with there total rule & crushed those who rebel, while there're players who sucessfully united everyone with little to no used of forces.
      However, the game's still getting more harsh & brutal. Indeed you may not used many "questionable" Laws but your gameplay will be ALOT more Harder than not going full on with either "Order" or "Faith" because there last Law does put Hope away, so you only needed to handle the Discontent, Heat & Resources, with some benefit & mostly stability to your City. The late game will surely more tougher when you still have to maintaining Hope ... it will go up & down alot.

      thing is, i don't find steampunk to be all that complex. don't get me wrong, it is hard, but not because of its complexity, which is one of the reasons i love it. The basics of frostpunk are so incredibely simple:" here are 3 building ressources you need, 1 you can think about in the mid to late game, and food. try not to die." But it gets interesting through the people you have and how you manage them. which is so great. So it's not a " here are 4000 ressources and you need a factory for all of them", it is a " how will you manage if 1 of your 3 ressources get's short?" so i find it really easy to understand, but hard to master, and that is just the perfect curve.

    The major difference between order and faith I find is that order is much more efficient but requires more man power (for towers and prisons) whereas faith is less efficient but needing less manpower to maintain their buildings. The thing is, if you play your cards right and use your scouts properly, you should have no problems finding loads of workers to fill in both resource gathering and order maintaining. So order tends to be my go to on every game I play.

      Faith is by far the stronger option for one reason and one reason only: Houses of Healing. Medical posts able to see as many patients as infirmaries but needing no steam cores and being able to be staffed by Children working safe jobs at the minor tradeoff of taking a bit longer for people to get better? Yes please. Sure, Faith is slightly less good at managing discontent and hope, and it isn't quite as good at boosting resource output, but those don't matter when I have Children singing the frostbite away and getting my people back out into the snow to freeze nearly to death again to propagate my new religion.

    A tip for anyone playing and struggling with the final storm:
    It's more efficient to stockpile raw food than cooked rations. And invest in soup early. Discontent is manageable, but sickness will be a huge problem in the final storm, especially if you don't have enough medical buildings. Infirmaries and (if there available) houses of healing will be your friend.
    Plus, if you can, have automatons man the cookhouses as early as possible, and have raw food production as high as you can, but you need to save steam cores. Get the flying hunters early, and spam them, so you can get the requisite food.
    Oh, and you should also automate coal production. You don't want the generator running out of foul in the middle of the night

It's so well made and there's never a time where you're not doing anything/have everything under control, there's always SOMETHING that needs to be done, something that your city is currently behind on, giving it a very always moving forward feeling, oh you got enough food for all your people? That's nice, you finish that health care insulation before the storm tho? Very rare for there to be a dull moment in Frostpunk. Also god bless you giga Chad scouts

    Frostpunk’s visuals and audio are so good that with headphones on, I will shiver 8/10 times when the wind starts to blow, or the lowered temperature sounds play.
    It’s kinda like the opposite of curling up with a good book.
    But there’s something very special about heat and cold - and about ice, snow and warmth - to almost humans, to the point people who grew up without cold weather will emotionally and physically react the same way (even if they might do dumb things like stay out in the snow) to the visuals of warm cosy fires, or of a spot of light on a lonely icy plane - unless they’re totally unaware of the concepts. I think tapping into these elements alongside the very real class issues and brutal politics which are familiar to most people (even if the specifics escape them) are what help sell the game.

      Its all about knowing the formulas.
      Sawmill dust doesnt actually sicken people for example.
      Or how people can manage to survive 3 days with no food.
      Or knowing the first 24 hour emergency shift doesnt get anyone killed.

    So having just played the whole "story" of frostpunk, I have to say I feel like you may have missed the charm of "On the Edge". I thought the the idea of being an outpost for the main city was rather charming. The actual gameplay and amount of options you could make was vastly different than the main game/other DLC's. The amount of options open up the replayability, like the communications tab favor bar for each "city". You could acquire almost every resource, including workers. Then you had the main story of the game which breaks down into three main choices; The dependency of the main city, How you handled the remaining cities, and How you handled the main city event at end. Granted I just finished it so that's how mine went. But this scenario seems to offer more replayability than the rest of the game. Not to take away from the already insane amount of replayabilty from the rest of the game. The Last Autumn was definitely S teir tho.

    I DID IT. Holy hell, this game is amazing, riding the ending out was super intense, and I really enjoy how its imposssible to do everything in a single game, there simply is not enough time. This makes it interesting, as there are different routes to take in construction, research and tech. I probably would never have played if it wasn't for this video, so thanks Bricky!

    I used to watch Bricky when I was younger when he played with the karp krew and his so you want to main. I always resentment towards his selfish at the time actions, but he did stick with what he wanted to be doing. He didnt want to be tied down making videos he didnt like and there were definetly growing pains for this channel during his metamorphosis, but his past videos show that he finally is fully grown into a documentary styled channel that I've come back to because I saw some of the new vids were about games I liked. So as an old BrickHead, just wanted to say that Bricky, you've changed for sure, but by god you still have such great content man

    Wait a sec
    Takes place in 1886 (Jack the Ripper killed in 1888)
    You and all your citizens are from London (Jack the Ripper was from London)
    Game was made by the Polish (Jack the Ripper was Polish)
    There is even a slight chance that Jack the Ripper is one of your citizens in Frostpunk.

    This may be kind of odd, but I could totally see Netflix making a tv adaption of this series. The interpersonal drama born in part from the worsening weather conditions, the exodus from London, and the discovery of Winterhome (amongst many, MANY other things)would be fascinating to watch in a live-action tv series. Could even have a subplot that follows the scouts as they go about the frozen wastes.
