How to stockpile food for the Whiteout in Frostpunk 2

Everybody's got to eat, right?

During Frostpunk 2’s Prologue, you must collect an overwhelming amount of food to survive the brutal Whiteout. It’ll be a tough nut to crack, but fortunately, you’ll have enough to get by with a suitable plan. To do this, we’ll show you how to stockpile food in Frostpunk 2.

How do you stockpile food in Frostpunk 2?

When you first begin your Frostpunk 2 journey, you may have encountered a notification regarding an insufficient food stockpile. Fix it by constructing a Food District on a plant icon and a Food Stockpile Hub nearby. As long as the Demand isn’t higher than the Output, you’ll have resources left over for the Whiteout event.

If there aren’t enough resources to build the structures, grab Prefabs from Construction Wagons and Materials from Matienence Wagons. Make sure your citizens are happy and fed, too, since you can’t build anything if everyone is… well, dead.

How to survive the Whiteout in Frostpunk 2 Prologue

To survive the Prologue’s Whiteout in Frostpunk 2, you must stockpile 40,000 food. I wound up eradicating my group the first time, but some tricks I discovered helped me through my second shot. That said, I strongly suggest at least having two Food Districts and two Food Stockpile Hubs.

You can also play it safe by adding more Food Districts if you have enough resources. Three Food Districts worked for me, especially after you unlocked one in the Seal Colony. The destination offers more resources than standard ones, so you may want to Frostbreak your way over there. Plus, you can earn a hidden achievement in this area with the No Lesser Evil trophy.

Starter Food Districts will likely dry up over time, and you can scrap them to gain materials for another build. Since time works against you here, you’ll need to be prompt in building your following food resource.

Other options are also available to quicken the pace of production or reduce consumption. For example, you can select the Wanderer character in the center to tighten belts or increase workload with Emergency Shifts. Although it’ll decrease Trust and increase diseases, it’s the sacrifice you have to make to reach Frostpunk 2’s 40,000 food stockpile goal.
