My name is Fernando. I am from Brazil. I know my choices are not the only way to play Frostpunk, but I will describe the way I imagined as the optimized approach.

This version is about New Home in EXTREME mode. It is complete and I had no deaths.

If you want to check the normal mode guide, check the link below:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3343113747

My main priority guidelines are:
1) Research time;
2) Workforce;
3) Steam Cores (SC);
4) Steel.

Day 01 Summary
The main point is to start and keep research going as fast as we can. Research wins the game. To do that I must collect enough wood and steel to supply research but also to build our city. At the same time, I don’t want anyone to die, not even to become gravely sick and I manage to do so.

To accomplish that, I plan ahead! First on how many resources I aim to collect each day and second what I want to build, leaving to build as much as I can after the working shift. The city structure will benefit from carefully placement of your buildings and streets. The range of Steam Hubs, Arenas and other area of effect buildings is an example.

Another important decision is about laws. To improve my production I choose to start with Emergency Shift (EmS) and Extended Shift (ExS).

My goal for Day 1 is to build:
1) 1 workshop – as soon as possible;
2) 2 gathering posts – just after the workshop;
3) a beacon – as soon as researched.

I also want to collect at least 42 coal for the night. That will allow me to turn the generator on for 6 hours from 22:00 to 4:00 (use the Overdrive too and the heat will last until 5:30). The heat will lower discontent and prevent sickness, more important in my case because I won’t build tents today.

Finally, my research order will be:
1) Beacon;
2) Sawmill.

Note: Comparing to my normal mode guide, I will add more detailed description of my initial workers orders because in extreme mode every minor decision is a lot more critical than in normal more.

Day 01 (8:00) New Law 01
Coal: 0 Wood: 0 Steel: 0 SC: 1 RawF: 50 Food: 0
1) Law: Emergency Shift (EmS);
Why: I don’t want to waste a second without at least one workshop doing research 24h/day.
2) I build 1 workshop (start 9:01, ready 10:57).
How: See the 1st image. I send 40 workers to collect wood and 25 to collect steel. By 9:01 I will have 11 wood and 5 steel. To provide the missing 4 wood I dismantle the roads above and below the stockpiles, leaving a hook like road remaining (see 2nd image). I select 10 engineers from the 15 I sent to the right (wood) and they build the workshop (I start an EMS when ready).
Note: To prepare for my 1st gathering post and the 1st research cost I move 12 workers from steel to wood (on the right spot).

Day 01 (10:57) New Research 01
Coal: 0 Wood: 13 Steel: 4 SC: 1 RawF: 50 Food: 0
1) Research: Beacon;
Why: To find more people and resources.
2) I build 1 gathering post for the left wood/steel source (start 11:01, ready 13:08);
Note: I use 10 wood workers to build it. To balance the production of wood/steel for the next post, I move 5 workers from the right lower wood to steel.
3) I build the post road (start 11:35, ready 13:01);
How: One of the closest wood workers is freed from the work and he builds the road step by step.
4) I build a 2nd gathering post for the right wood/steel source (start 13:01, ready 14:44);
Note: I start building the post and the road (step by step), since I have 1 extra wood I also start building the road step by step. I balance the workers following the 3rd image* to achieve at least 42 coal for the night and 35 steel for the beacon. I do that knowing that I will do an EmS on both posts as soon as they are ready.
5) I build the road (just after 18:00) I will need for my beacon.
Where: I would rather put it in the far end of the ring area, but since wood is scarce I will put it just after the nearest post (2 wood).
Note: I promise to provide shelter for 40 people.
Note: With 47 coal units, I turned the generator on at 21:00 and used the Overdrive as soon as possible (21:36). When the coal ends the heat lasts longer (adding 90 minutes) than without the overdrive on.

Day 01 (23:59) New Research 02
Coal: 22 Wood: 77 Steel: 35 SC: 1 RawF: 50 Food: 0
1) Research: Sawmill;
Why: I would like to choose Faster Gathering, to get the most of it at the very start, but my tests with the extreme extra research time made me agree with most and choose Sawmill.
2) Build the Beacon;
3) At 1:48 (Day 2) I create a scout team.
Note: I have 2 options: Crash Site or Lost Expedition. I choose Lost Expedition for more people.

Day 02 Summary
I start the day choosing the second Law: Extended Shift (ExS). The goal is to have all workers using it at all times. At the end of the day I will choose Child Labor – safe jobs.

My goal for Day 2 is to build:
1) 1 workshop (2)* – before 6:00;
2) 4 tents – at 5:00 to full fill a promise;
2) 1 sawmill – as soon as the research is done;
3) 1 hunters’ hut;
4) 2 medical posts;
5) 1 cookhouse;
6) 2 sawmills (3)* - after 20:00;
7) 1 gathering post – near the coal/steel spot.


*Note: the number after the building is the total buildings of that type.

Finally, my research order will be:
3) Hunters’ Gear;
4) Steam Hub.

Day 02 (2:00) New Law 02
Coal: 10 Wood: 19 Steel: 6 SC: 1 RawF: 50 Food: 0
1) Law: Extended Shift (ExS);
Why: I need to use it on nearly every working building for some time. Every extra effort in the base start can have a huge effect later on. There is a trick to never trigger the event to stop using ExS. I enable it only from 6:00 to 8:00 and from 18:00 to 20:00.
Status: by now my discontent bar is blinking as a warning to my bad behavior.
2) I build a 2nd workshop (ready before 6:00 for an ExS);
3) At 5:00 I start building 4 tents to fulfill a promise and lower discontent (ready at 10:39).
Note: The 1st image we can see how the city looks a little before finishing the last tent.
Day 02 (11:23) New Research 03
Coal: 0 Wood: 52 Steel: 29 SC: 1 RawF: 50 Food: 0
1) Research: Hunters’ Gear;
Why: This bonus will apply tonight. I need to build 1 hunters’ hut today and more soon.
Scout: At 12:37 the scout team explored Lost Expedition and found 36 people (4 children, 10 engineers and 22 workers) then went home.
2) I build 1 sawmill near the right post.
Note: All my workers spent the day building or gathering wood. Arround 14:30 I moved 9 workers to coal.
Shifts: At 17:58 I turn on 7 ExSs. Well, that triggers a deadline to lower discontent in 2 days. At 20:00 I start 1 EmS on a workshop and turn off the ExSs.
Scouts: At 18:06 the scout team arrives and departs to Crash Site.

Day 02 (20:00) New Law 03
Coal: 47 Wood: 165 Steel: 52 SC: 1 RawF: 50 Food: 0
1) Law: Child Labor – Safe Jobs;
2) I build 1 hunters’ hut, 2 medical posts, 1 cookhouse and 2 sawmills (3);
3) I build 1 gathering post. See the result in the 2nd image.
Note: I put 1 worker at the cookhouse just after it is built or people will start eating raw food. For future reference, when there is no more raw food I can leave it empty.
Heat: Again, I start the generator (21:00) and I use the overdrive at 21:36.

Day 02 (21:48) New Research 04
Coal: 36 Wood: 40 Steel: 47 SC: 1 RawF: 50 Food: 0
1) Research: Steam hub;
Why: To allow me to build more tents in a new heated zone.

Day 03 Summary
Today I enjoy the big improve to wood gathering to prepare for a big city upgrade, improving housing, medical care and food supply. Also I speed up research and improve steel gathering for the next day.

My goal for Day 3 is to build:
1) 1 workshop (3) – as soon as possible;
2) 4 tents (8) and 1 steam hub;
3) 1 fighting arena – carefully placed to have all initial tents in range;
4) 2 steelworks;
5) 1 medical post (3);
6) 1 gathering post (3)
7) 1 workshop (4);
8) 1 hunters’ hut (2).

This time coal gathering will be more than enough to turn it on at 19:51 and leave it that way, and I keep in mind to use the Overdrive from at least 23:00 to 5:00 every night. In fact, I used it from 20:27 to 6:00.

Finally, my research order will be:
5) Steelworks;
6) Heaters.

Day 03 (5:59)
Note: I have workers to fill all facilities with one to spare (wood crates for him). I use 5 cookers until all raw food ends and leave 5 sick people in treatment in it to free the cookers to gather resources.
1) I build a 3rd workshop (ready at 9:14) as soon as I have the wood using the nearby wood crater guy and the workers from the near gathering post.
Why: I got unlucky and 1 engineer was in treatment, so this building got only 4 workers. But this is more than enough to help me complete the Heaters research in time for next day temperature drop.
Note: At 08:37 the scout team explores Crash Site, finds 169 wood and 46 raw food and moves to Observatory.
2) At 9:14, with the 2 workers I have to spare after refilling the gathering post, I start building 4 tents (8) and 1 steam hub. I also remove 4 workers from the gathering post that is nearly depleting his wood crates. That way he will be ready to be dismantled near the shift end and I will build the tents faster.

Day 03 (09:39) New Research 05
Coal: 32 Wood: 28 Steel: 50 SC: 1 RawF: 0 Food: 17
1) Research: Steelworks;
Why: I will be able to build the 2 steelworks during this night and start collecting the precious steel tomorrow at 6:00.

Day 03 (14:00) New Law 04
Coal: 72 Wood: 125 Steel: 65 SC: 1 RawF: 16 Food: 5
1) Law: Fighting Arena;
Why: To help me manage my discontent bar.
2) I build a fighting arena.
Note: At 15:08 my hunters are ready to help the builders. They usually can build from 15:00 to 18:00 (or more if I delay the start of the hunt). In fact, I start the hunt a little after midnight to allow all buildings to complete in time.

Day 03 (18:34) New Research 06
Coal: 113 Wood: 222 Steel: 58 SC: 1 RawF: 2 Food: 19
1) Research: Heaters;
Note: At 19:51 I turn the Generator on for good.
Scouts: At 19:56 the team explores Observatory and escorts back 35 people (4 children, 19 engineers and 12 workers).
Note: At 19:59 I start an EmS on a workshop.
2) I build 2 steelworks, 1 medical post (3), 1 gathering post (3) and 1 workshop (4).

Day 04 Summary
Today I enjoy the big improve to steel gathering to research down the tech tree and build some steam hubs. I also continue to improve housing, medical care and food supply. I will only be able to balance my food supply tomorrow after reaching 6 hunters’ hut and researching Hunting Tactics, because 15 hunters per 16 raw food is not working for me. When that is done, I will have 60 hunters getting 96 raw food = 192 cooked food that is finally enough for my city for a while.

My goal for Day 4 is to build:
1) 1 steam hub (2);
2) 1 gathering post (4);
3) 7 tents (15) and 1 steam hub (3);
4) 1 medical post (4);
5) 2 hunters’ hut (2).

Finally, my research order will be:
7) Drawing Boards;
8) Drafting Machines.

Day 04 (6:36) New Research 07
Coal: 39 Wood: 283 Steel: 58 SC: 1 RawF: 42 Food: 0
1) At 5:00 I build 1 steam hub (2) in the workshop area.
Scouts: At 6:06 the team arrived home (169 wood, 46 raw food and 35 people) and went to Lost Expedition. This brings new engineers needed to fill my workshops (I had only 9 engineers working at them by that time).
2) Research: Drawing Boards.
Note: At 8:29 I remove 4 workers from 1 sawmill to build a 1 gathering post for the last coal spot. My current coal production would leave me in trouble tonight. When completed, I move 10 works for it, using the 4 builders and 6 children from the coal/steel post.
Scouts: At 11:31 the team moved to Gloomy Cave.
Hunters: At 15:09 they are free to work. I fill the coal/steel gathering post 1 sawmill and 1 wood post, leaving 3 to help cooking and 1 to spare. I start the building of 1 medical post and 2 hunters’ hut, but really start after 20:00. The huts are ready only at 1:46 (day 5).

Day 04 (15:22) New Research 08
Coal: 99 Wood: 253 Steel: 103 SC: 1 RawF: 22 Food: 0
1) Research: Drafting Machines;
Why: I want to reach Hunters Gear to improve my food gathering. That will also free the way to Infirmary and Steam Steelworks.
ExS: From 18:00 to 20:00 in all.
EmS: At 19:59 in 1 workshop.
2) I build 1 steam hub (3) and 7 houses (15).
Overheat: On from 21:00 to 6:00.
Scouts: At 22:29 we saved 33 people from bears (3 children, 18 engineers and 12 workers).

Day 05 Summary
Today I improve steel gathering even more with Steam Steelworks and finally get Hunting Tactics. Tomorrow hunger will not be a problem anymore. I improve health care coverage by building a 4th medical post and choose Sustain Life and Overcrowding as new laws.

My goal for Day 5 is to build:
1) 1 steam hub (2);
2) 1 gathering post (4);
3) 7 tents (15) and 1 steam hub (3);
4) 1 medical post (4);
5) 2 hunters’ hut (2).

Finally, my research order will be:
9) Steam Steelworks;
10) Hunting Tactics.

Day 05 (2:00) New Law 05
Coal: 128 Wood: 211 Steel: 94 SC: 1 RawF: 0 Food: 0
1) Law: Sustain Life.
Why: Aiming for Overcrowding.

Day 05 (3:37) New Research 09
Coal: 106 Wood: 211 Steel: 94 SC: 1 RawF: 0 Food: 0
1) Research: Steam Steelworks;
Why: A big warning! Every time I finish Hunting Tactics research during a hunt, it bugs out end the current hunt gets interrupted leaving me empty handed. So I can’t research Hunting Tactics now.
2) At 5:00 I start building 4 tents (19) and pause at 6:00.
Note: Since I have 60 workers on hunting, I start the day with only 9 workers/engineers left and put them in a steelworks. The 18 healthy kids go for coal. Now I wait the arrival of new people.
Scouts: At 08:08 the team arrived home and moved to Lost Expedition. The new people went for steel and coal. The ones left went for wood.
Scouts: At 13:33 the team arrived and moved to Sturdy Shelter.

Day 05 (13:53) New Research 10
Coal: 214 Wood: 178 Steel: 143 SC: 1 RawF: 0 Food: 0
1) Research: Hunting Tactics;
Hunters: When they are free same time after 15 I put them to work, including the cookhouse.
2) I build 2 hunters’ hut (6).

Day 05 (20:00) New Law 06
Coal: 380 Wood: 212 Steel: 159 SC: 1 RawF: 0 Food: 32
1) Law: Overcrowding;
Overheat: On from 20:00 to 6:00.
2) I build 2 sawmills (5), 1 tent (19), 1 fighting arena and 2 steam steelworks after dismantling the old ones.

Day 06 Summary
With tents for all and medical care coverage above need, today we will produce more food then we need for the 1st time. With that solved, it is time to replace the 4 medical posts with an infirmary, that heals twice as fast to help my people to be back to work. Another problem is coming soon: the coal production will need another source because the crates are depleting soon.

My goal for Day 6 is to build:
1) 1 infirmary;
2) 1 sawmill (6);
3) 3 workshops (7);
4) 4 tents (23) – for the last group of people coming before Winterhome is triggered.

Finally, my research order will be:
11) Medical Post Upgrade;
12) Infirmary;
13) Coal Thumpers.

Day 06 (4:48) New Research 11
Coal: 312 Wood: 115 Steel: 133 SC: 1 RawF: 0 Food: 0
1) Research: Medical Post Upgrade.

Scout: At 03:10 the team found 44 people (18 engineers and 26 workers) and went home.
3) At 5:00 I build 4 tents (23) and pause at 6:00.

Day 07 Summary
Today I will receive 3 SCs and build a factory to create 2 automatons. The law will be Corpse Disposal to reach Organ Transplants.

My goal for Day 7 is to build:
1) 1 coal thumper and 1 gathering post (3);
2) 1 factory;
3) 5 workshops (12) and 4 steam hubs.

Finally, my research order will be:
14) Factory;
15) Flying Hunters.

Day 07 (8:00) New Law 07
Coal: 316 Wood: 200 Steel: 240 SC: 0 RawF: 0 Food: 57
1) Law: Corpse Disposal;
Why: I am aiming for Organ Transplants.

1) Research: Flying Hunters;
2) I build a coal thumper near the left gathering post in my images and a 2nd gathering post to that coal thumper;
3) At 20:00 I build 5 workshops (12) and 5 steam hubs (8);
Scout: At 23:20 the team arrived home and went to Bridge to Winterhome. I have 228 people!
3) I build a factory.
Image: I had to build and pause 10 resource depots to “storage” wood and steel beyond my limits.

Day 08 Summary
Today I will improve the coal gathering adding a steam coal thumper to the current coal thumper. I also improve food gathering by replacing 2 of my 6 hunters’ huts with 2 hunters’ hangars. As I have more steel to spare I will replace the rest too. I am spending a lot of steel in research to improve the automaton tree. That will also give me the opportunity to reach Advanced Steelworks.

My goal for Day 8 is to build:
1) 1 steam coal thumper and 4 gathering posts (7);
2) 2 hunters’ hangars replacing 2 hunters’ hut.

Finally, my research order will be:
16) Steam Coal Thumpers;
17) Mechanical Calculators;
18) Automaton Integration.

Day 08 (2:00) New Law 08
Coal: 330 Wood: 470 Steel: 265 SC: 2 RawF: 42 Food: 140
1) Law: Organ Transplants;

Day 08 (4:19) New Research 16
Coal: 177 Wood: 227 Steel: 45 SC: 0 RawF: 92 Food: 111
1) Research: Steam Coal Thumpers;

Coal: 507 Wood: 226 Steel: 86 SC: 0 RawF: 40 Food: 235
1) Research: Automaton Integration;
2) I replace 2 hunters’ hut with 2 hunters’ hangars.

Day 09 Summary
Today I will improve the heating tech to keep sick at bay. Then I will direct research back to automaton improvement. I want to have them ready to help me research at night. I again improve food gathering by replacing 2 of my remaining 4 hunters’ huts with 2 hunters’ hangars (4). Steel and wood will be just enough to do all that today. By the end of the day, coal was reaching storage limit and I decided to build a storage depot.

My goal for Day 9 is to build:
1) a Public House;
2) a snow pit;
3) 1 storage depot;
4) 1 gathering post (8) – to have 5 near the steam coal thumper;
5) 2 hunters’ hangars (4) replacing 2 hunters’ hut (2).
6) 3 more workshops (15) – this may seem too much, since I would have to employ all engineers on them, but I rather have the opportunity to do it then have some possible spare engineers go to waste.

Finally, my research order will be:
19) Generator Power Upgrade;
20) Improved Heaters;
21) Difference Engine.

Day 09 (7:36) New Research 19
Coal: 472 Wood: 160 Steel: 71 SC: 0 RawF: 24 Food: 64
1) Research: Generator Power Upgrade;
Scout: Before that (6:26) the team found 1 SC and 90 coal and moved to Coal Mine. Immediately after that the Automaton Project started.

Day 09 (13:26) New Research 20
Coal: 723 Wood: 174 Steel: 121 SC: 0 RawF: 0 Food: 112
1) Research: Improved Heaters;

Day 09 (14:01) New Law 09
Coal: 737 Wood: 158 Steel: 107 SC: 0 RawF: 16 Food: 112
1) Law: Public House;
2) I build a Public House, a snow pit, 1 storage depot, 1 gathering post and I replace 2 hunters’ hut (2) with 2 hunters’ hangars (4). I even build 3 more workshops (15).
Scout: At 18:59 the team dismantled the Coal Mine, found 2 SCs, 208 wood, 202 steel and 266 coal and went back home. I rather use thumpers for coal and have the extra SCs for automatons that will keep steel flowing and research during the next nights.
Note: At 20:00 I have no sick people. With both the generator and heaters at level 2 I can keep most healthy for some time now. It is time to return to automaton improvement.

Day 09 (19:40) New Research 21
Coal: 875 Wood: 245 Steel: 127 SC: 0 RawF: 28 Food: 267
1) Research: Difference Engine;
Note: See bellow the result of this day (thermal view) after all is built and ready to run for day 10.

Day 10 Summary
Today I will improve automatons, starting with allowing them to aid me in research. The opportunity to upgrade my steel production will be taken and at 14:01 the Automaton Project will keep 1 automaton away from work for 1 day. I have to remember to make only 2 more automatons tomorrow and leave 1 SC for the Automaton Project request, but more on that tomorrow.

My goal for Day 10 is to build:
1) 2 hunters’ hangars (4) replacing 2 hunters’ hut (2);
2) 2 advanced steelworks replacing 2 steam steelworks.

Finally, my research order will be:
22) Engineer Automatons;
23) Advanced Steelworks;
24) Automaton Integration II.

Day 10 (8:01) New Law 10
Coal: 659 Wood: 62 Steel: 55 SC: 0 RawF: 22 Food: 134
1) Law: Moonshine.
Note: Today I start with wood as my priority over coal (last days I did the opposite). See the image to see what I did to my engineers too. Had 1 of them sick to be treated by 4 left after filling the 15 workshops. Discontent is low, hope is middle way and all resources are at least a little above the need. Also there is no hunger or homeless and I have only 1 sick person. Just to clarify, I have being using the 2 automatons at steel from 20:00 to 6:00 and on wood the rest of the time. Soon I will have 4 automatons.

Day 10 (8:19) New Research 22
Coal: 655 Wood: 66 Steel: 59 SC: 0 RawF: 22 Food: 134
1) Research: Engineer Automatons.
Why: Tonight I will them at research (or at least one of them since I expect the event to immobilize 1 to continue the Automaton Project).

Day 10 (14:37) New Research 23
Coal: 684 Wood: 185 Steel: 95 SC: 0 RawF: 110 Food: 131
1) Research: Advanced Steelworks;
Why: I will put an end to steel shortage. Tonight I will replace them.
2) At 20:00 I dismantle the steam steelworks and the 2 remaining hunters’ hut. I build 2 hunters hangars (6).
Scout: At 20:42 the team arrived home and got disbanded. No need for scouts until day 15. I will take this opportunity to relocate the beacon.

Day 10 (22:04) New Research 24
Coal: 1332 Wood: 518 Steel: 297 SC: 3 RawF: 90 Food: 208
1) Research: Automaton Integration II;
2) I build 2 advanced steelworks.
Note: The 2nd image of the day shows results. . I build and pause 3 resource depots just to store the resources for further use. Originally I intended to really build them but had to came back and pause them or I won’t have enough to make the automatons and start Automatic Prototyping at the same time.

Day 11 Summary
I start the day with my only working automaton building automatons. At 14:00 the Automaton Project will demand a SC to continue to the last result, giving me one free automaton tech or a 5% increase in efficiency and 5 decrease in cost. I want the 5% because it is the only way to get 100% efficiency to automatons. To do so I must have no SC available, so I will build and pause a 2nd factory (no, I don’t want a 2nd factory) and cancel its construction when my automaton tree is all researched, making it impossible to receive a free tech and getting what I want. The bad news is that with 100% efficiency an accident event will trigger a few days later and I will have an amputee to help with a prosthetic. I will choose the laws accordingly and create 1 prosthetic to be ready for that.

Today the event will also repair the immobilized automaton and gives us a 5% increase in efficiency to pair with the last 5% I described.

Doing some math shows me that I will not finish the automaton research in time for the event to end today at 14:00, so I will delay the event trigger to tomorrow. Therefore I have time to research Sawmill Upgrade and Infirmary Mechanization before going to the medical automaton techs.

My goal for Day 11 is to build:
1) 2 resource depots (4);
2) 1 carehouse to fulfill a promise, then dismantle it.

Finally, my research order will be:
25) Automatic Prototyping;
26) Automaton Integration III;
27) Sawmill Upgrade.

Day 11 (8:45) New Research 25
Coal: 1144 Wood: 301 Steel: 166 SC: 2 RawF: 68 Food: 152
1) Research: Automatic Prototyping.

1) Research: Sawmill upgrade.
Note: See the day result here.

Day 12 Summary
Today I enjoy having enough engineers to keep all 15 workshops running without lowering the infirmary efficiency since Infirmary Mechanization will be researched. The only possible problem is if I have a sick engineer, but they are working and leaving in well heated environments, so that will be very rare. I also finish the automaton research line, so tomorrow I get the 100% automaton efficiency!

I hope the 2 images per day help me show more detail on my workforce distribution and the use of the hunters after 15:00 to complete the empty positions. They hunt for 12 hours and then work for another 5 hours from 15:02 to 20:00. That is really helpful. Soon I will dismantle the coal thumper to make a 2nd steam coal thumper, but I want to do it aside the 1st one and the trees there must be cut before that. Another thing is that we are having a growing amount of all resources and that will lead me to make more and more depots or/and use the build/pause idea to temporally storage wood/steel.

My goal for Day 12 is to build:
1) 1 resource depot (5).

Finally, my research order will be:
28) Infirmary Mechanization;
29) Medical Automatons;
30) Medical Automaton Integration.

Coal: 1777 Wood: 576 Steel: 405 SC: 0 RawF: 52 Food: 589
1) Research: Medical Automaton Integration.
2) I build 1 resource depot (5).
Note: See the way I distribute the workforce today at 18:00 including the free hunters (free a little after 15:00). That discontent bar is at 104% temporarily because I have 29 ExS that will be deactivated after 20:00.

Day 13 Summary
Today I prepare the return of scout teams and the additional help of outpost teams. Before Day 15 at 10:00 I need to have 1 scout team and 1 outpost team at Winterhome and 2 scout teams at the observatory to be ready to explore.

My goal for Day 13is to build:
1) 1 outpost depot;
2) 4 resource depots (9);
3) a beacon.

Finally, my research order will be:
31) Outpost Depot;
32) More Scouts;
33) Lighter Scout Sleds.

Day 13 (7:15) New Research 31

Note: Since all my engineers are on workshops/infirmary, I send an automaton to make 1 prosthetics for the amputee event (at 16:00 today). At 14:00 the Automaton Project is complete – 100% efficiency!

Day 13 (18:00) New Research 33
Coal: 1922 Wood: 902 Steel: 700 SC: 0 RawF: 184 Food: 441
1) Research: Lighter Scout Sleds;
2) At 20:00 I build 1 outpost depot, 4 resource depots (9) and a beacon.

Day 14 Summary
Today I finish the scout/outpost research and sync the teams to be ready tomorrow to start The Londoners. I will create a temporary outpost in Winterhome to help with wood production while I transition from sawmill to wall drill. But my main concern is to reach Tesla City as soon as possible and start the production of SCs.

My goal for Day 14 is to build:
1) 1 outpost depot (2);
2) 8 tents (31);
3) 1 fighting arena (3).

Finally, my research order will be:
34) Boosted Scout Sleds;
35) Faster Outpost Teams;
36) Additional Scouts.

Day 14 (2:26) New Research 34
Coal: 1904 Wood: 750 Steel: 694 SC: 0 RawF: 160 Food: 398
1) Research: Boosted Scout Sleds.
Day 14 (10:41) New Research 35
Coal: 2080 Wood: 762 Steel: 776 SC: 0 RawF: 208 Food: 370
1) Research: Faster Outpost Teams.
Note: At 14:00 an automaton event led me to block 1 sawmill from use for 24 hours.
Scouts: At 15:05 I recreated a scout team to go Winterhome throw Weather Station. If my math is correct it will arrive there at 9:57, 2 minutes sooner than needed. Good timing as I could use hunters that just went home.

Day 14 (17:00) New Research 36
Coal: 2555 Wood: 884 Steel: 868 SC: 0 RawF: 266 Food: 439
1) Research: Additional Scouts;
Scouts: The timing is perfect. This last research will come in time for me to create 2 new teams and send to Observatory a little earlier then needed. For the record, the travel time will be 3:38 so I have to create them at 6:17 (Day 15) to be at Crash Site at 9:57, again with 2 minutes to spare.
2) At 20:00 I build a 2nd outpost depot;
Outposts: The 1st outpost team will travel to Winterhome in 9:59 hours so it needs to leave at midnight. I will create them 2 minutes earlier to sync them all. By the way, I will make a wood outpost in Winterhome. My trees are ending and that will help me keep going until I research Wall Drill and get some new SCs. The best outpost is Tesla City, no doubt. The 2nd outpost some say should be that coal mine I dismantle (I rather use thumpers) or the steel one in Ice Bound. As you can see, I will never need more steel than I make already. I use 2 automatons on Advanced Steelworks that gives me 9.75 x 2 x 24 hours = 468 steel per day. So, I may use Winterhome until the end or change it to the Fishing Village for food.
3) I build 8 tents (31) and 1 fighting arena (3).
Why: I do this to prepare for the Londoners and new people I will rescue. I will dismantle 1 tent to make way for a Watchtower since I will choose Order. Also I am doing this to help me have all tents in the range of 2 wathtowers.

Day 15 Summary
Today I choose Order to deal with The Londoners. Before Order is available I have the chance to choose another law. The only one that I can choose is Child Labor – all jobs. I do that just to have extra hands as builders, but I never put them to work in not safe jobs.

Research is another story. I have so many options now:
1) I could improve housing, but that can wait for colder weather;
2) I could research all 3 Wall Drill techs and use the 3 SCs coming soon to build one, but there are some trees yet;
3) I could improve heat tech, but that can also wait for colder weather;
4) I could improve gathering and coal thumpers;
5) I could improve infirmary;
6) I could improve hunters, sawmill range and production.
I choose the last one.

My goal for Day 15 is to build:
1) 2 watchtowers;
2) 2 tents (33);
3) 3 resource depots (12);
4) 1 steam coal thumper (2) to replace the coal thumper;
5) 4 gathering posts (9)
6) 2 steam hubs;
7) 2 workshops.

Finally, my research order will be:
37) Flying Hunter’ Gear;
38) Sawmill Range Extension;
39) Steam Sawmill.

Day 15 (5:01) New Law 13
Coal: 2696 Wood: 660 Steel: 978 SC: 0 RawF: 206 Food: 425
1) Law: Child Labor – all jobs.
Why: I won’t use children on unsafe jobs ever, so why do this? Well I have nothing else to choose before Londoners and could use the extra hands on building tasks with no danger to trigger an accident. But this could be skipped.
Day 15 (10:02) New Law 14
1) Law: Neighbourhood Watch;
Scouts: At 9:59 the 1st team explores Winterhome and moves to Snow Cliff. The outpost team creates a wood outpost. The 2nd and 3rd teams go from Crash Site to American Camp. At 10:00 a protest starts and all workers and engineers stop working for 70 minutes, but the ones in EmS.
2) I build 2 watchtowers;

Scouts: At 17:29 the 2nd team explores American Camp (1 SC and 55 steel) and moves to Temporary Settlement along with the 3rd team.
2) I build 3 resource depots (12), 2 tents (33), 1 steam coal thumper (with 4 gathering posts) and dismantle the coal thumper (with his 2 gathering posts). I also dismantle my sawmills and build 2 steam hubs and 2 workshops.
Scouts: At 21:04 the 1st team explores Freshwater Springs and finds 29 people (7 children and 22 workers), then returns home.

Day 16 Summary
Today I prepare for more survivors and do some research to make automatons cheaper, infirmary and gathering faster. I finally create an SC outpost in Tesla City and make 6 more automatons. The next laws will be Guard Station and Patrol and I add more workshops to speed research even more.

A warning: the new survivors arrive hungry and some get sick really soon. I will start the next day with 28 sick people.

My goal for Day 16 is to build:
1) 6 steam sawmills;
2) 4 workshops (21)
3) 2 steam hubs;
4) 1 arena (4);
5) 1 steam coal thumper (3);
6) 3 gathering posts (12);

Coal: 3022 Wood: 808 Steel: 1148 SC: 0 RawF: 316 Food: 422
1) Research: Streamlined Automatons;
Why: This decision was really hard to me. Is it worth to spend research time in saving wood/steel on the automatons? If so this is the right time to do it, because today I will start to make many automatons.
2) I build 6 steam sawmills.
Scouts: At 1:40 the 2nd and 3rd teams arrive in Temporary Settlement (1 SC and 241 wood). The 2nd team moves to Walled Colony and the 3rd moves to Dreadnought Landing.
Londoners: At 5:00 8 new members (26).

Scouts: At 23:21 the 2nd team arrives home and moves to Fishing Village.

Day 17 Summary
Today I finish making improvements in coal production and start to research Wall Drill to prepare for the end of trees. Guard Station replaces Watchtowers and the 1st steam sawmill deplete its trees in range and is dismantled. The Londoners stop gaining members due to higher hope.

Day 18 Summary
Today I set the final source of wood and set to automatons to gather from that infinite source. Due to ever improving stocks, I research those quick depot techs and start to prepare to replace tents for houses, after all “winter is coming”. The Londoners events related to “let him speak” answer make their numbers increase, but hope is ever growing and my time to speak will come.

My goal for Day 18 is to build:
1) 2 advanced wall drills;
2) 3 hunters’ hangars (9);
3) 1 large resource depot;
4) 2 resource depots (19);
5) 8 steam hubs.

Note: I am preparing to change my 6 steam hubs around the center as soon as I get Steam Hub Range Upgrade.

Day 19 Summary
With patrol every day at 10:02 hope and discontent are set on track. The next temperature drop led me to start replacing tents for houses and to research Overdrive improvements. That will allow the daily use of Overdrive for longer hours, saving a lot of coal. The scout teams are being disbanded after all the available sites are visited.

My goal for Day 19 is to build:
1) 4 workshops (28);
2) 1 arena (6);
3) 1 large resource depot (2);
4) 26 houses (or as many as I can replacing tents).

Finally, my research order will be:

Day 19 (20:02) New Law 17
1) Law: Morning Gathering.
Note: this one is a little annoying but needed to get Foreman.

Day 20 Summary

Day 21 Summary
Today I finish prepare for my 1st industrial hothouse and for Agitator Law. It is the 1st day I don’t use one EmS but I am still using ExS on all possible work stations and that is hurting my dealing with the Londoners but I am believing in a happy ending anyway due to patrols every day and high hope.

My goal for Day 21 is to build:

Londoners: At 5:00 they lose 5 members (0). We are united again!
Note: The game is now basically won. All I need to do is stock more cooked food, rescue and house all act 3 survivors and prepare enough infirmaries to survive the storm. Coal/Wood/Steel amounts are already enough and growing. I could dismantle all thumpers and gathering posts and let my people rest, but I will hoard a huge amount of coal just because I can.
Foreman: At 6:00 in 1 hothouse and 1 coal mine.

I will need medical care for them because they will arrive in a very bad shape. Good thing I have homes and food to spare, but I think I will need a second infirmary, so I will build one with the daily SC.
Foreman: At 6:00 in 1 hothouse.
1) At 8:11 I build 1 infirmary (2);

Patrol: At 10:04.
Scouts: At 22:27 the refugees arrive and some new locations appear on the map. The refugees had 50 gravely sick and I was already dealing with 8 sick from the last group so 3 infirmaries were enough for now although I had 4 ready for them. I create 2 more scout groups and send them to the new locations throw Gloomy Cave.
Note: a new tech is ready to be researched: Beacon: Stereoscopic Lenses. I will build 3 workshops to deal with that.

I can still produce 2916 coal units per day – more than half my daily consumption. Besides that, my stock can outlast the storm anyway.
Patrol: At 10:05.
Event: At 22:00 they ask to build coal thumpers and I say we’ll make it anyway.
