Frostpunk 2 Factions and Their Motivations Guide

Everything is political in Frostpunk 2 because you need to pass laws that benefit your city but it can’t be done if different factions are against you.

You need to manage factions and interest groups to make sure they support your laws and legislations in Counsil Hall.

Think of factions as political parties with different agendas. Some of them like technology while others are only looking out for their own survival, not the city’s.

Your success with factions depends on learning how to improve relationships with factions in Frostpunk 2. And that is only possible if you know their true motivations.
