Patch 1.6.0 (20 August 2020)

Greetings, Citizens of New London and daring Frostland Wanderers!

With great excitement, we are happy to unveil the new features awaiting players in Frostpunk: On The Edge.

On The Edge revolves around themes of trust and loyalty. Assigned as the leader of a newly formed Outpost — settled near an Army Warehouse — you are kept on New London's leash and bound to transfer all your precious findings to headquarters. At the same time, you have to rely on scarce food deliveries and laws enforced by your supervisor. It's a delicate balance to navigate — each decision introduces new potential risks and unknowns.But as soon as an alternate food source is discovered by your scouts, you start to think about surviving on your own...

The next finding is an even bigger breakthrough — there are other Settlements out there willing to cooperate with you. Once you manage to gain their loyalty, designate trade routes between new allies, and regain control over your Book of Laws, then perhaps you can form a strong, independent union, and shake off New London's yoke. And who knows, maybe one day the proud city will ask for your help?

Creating foundations for a new community comes with an array of difficulties. Confronting New London as well as dealing with other Settlements will test your diplomatic skills, but you can't forget that in the long run, Frostpunk is all about survival. What compromises are you willing to make to achieve that ultimate goal?

On The Edge - Features List:

Choose your truce - Can you trust other communities? Should you respect their ways of survival or bend them to your will?

Establish an economical union with other outposts using the Transport Depot.

Help develop other Settlements by fulfilling their requests.

Construct Safe Routes on the Frostland and exchange surplus resources for those you lack.

Discover 16 brand new areas of the Frostland and revisit some of the old sites - learning their fate after the Great Storm.

Communicate with other communities thanks to brand new UI in the Administration building.

Try to survive without control over the Book of Laws.

Enable new mechanics available in the Endless Mode.

On The Edge is the third and final expansion for Frostpunk. It was preceded by The Rifts, which challenged players to build a city on the map containing a group of islands with various resources, and prequel story The Last Autumn focused on building an iconic Generator.

Patch 1.5.0 (21 January 2020) The Last Autumn Expansion is out now!

The Last Autumn is a riveting prequel story taking place before the endless winter that the Frostpunk universe is known for most. Experience the events that lead to an icy cataclysm and the construction of Frostpunk’s iconic Generator. Working conditions will be harsh and not everyone will be happy with the situation at hand. Some of your people -- albeit they shouldn't know it -- could even pay the ultimate price as they strive together to give humankind its last and only hope. It’s up to you to weigh the stakes and decide how much you’re willing to sacrifice for the greater good of humanity.

“Everyone associates Frostpunk with snow and winter, so our goal was to provide them with something totally new and change the tone of the game a bit. It was a challenge, but the result is the biggest and the most tone-nuanced scenario in the whole Frostpunk universe” - says Kuba Stokalski, Frostpunk Lead Designer.
Frostpunk: The Last Autumn new features:

A prequel story set in a new environment not yet covered by snow that allows players to construct the Generator from the ground up to prepare their society for the upcoming winter.

A new Endless Mode variant -- Builders -- that redefines the challenges players will face by providing different setups and solutions.

Two new Books of Laws allowing players to shape their society in previously unknown ways.

New threats and issues to deal with such as toxic gases and workers going on strike.

Influence society in creative new ways from establishing labour unions to outright manipulation.

New technology tree, inventions to discover, and resources to obtain.

25 new buildings to construct such as docks, a telegraph station, a labour union building and more.

New social classes including Convicts -- a cheap and obedient workforce.

Additional fixes introduced with this update:

Fix for tier icons in technology tree changing alongside set language

Fix for the inconsistent inheritance of employment in buildings

Many minor fixes and improvements

Patch 1.0.1 (23 May 2018)

Fixed a bunch of crashes related to Heaters, Generator and endlog timelapse Added feature: AlienFX.

Working with Alienware, we've added new feature to our game - which should brighten up Frostpunk's dark atmoshpere a bit. If you're using compatible hardware:

Your keyboard's backlight colours will change depending on the current temperature in your city. And let's just say: if you see some purple lights - better fire up that Generator overdrive.

Weather warnings - when the temperature rises or drops - your keyboard will let you know about it, pulsating with coresponding colours.
