Factions?

[Magnus Gray]

So I just finished up the story mode, but I never encountered any of the factions listed in the store page, the evolvers, overseers or frostbloods?

Do they only show up in the sandbox mode?

The story mode is random, except the guaranteed faith keepers and overseers. In the prologue, you get to choose either the faith keepers or the overseers as one of your starting factions. The rest are random. If you restart the story mode, you will probably get different factions.

Do more of them come later on as the story progresses or are you just interacting around the 2 randoms + OG frostpunk faction?

Personally I chose the faithkeepers, so I started with them, and also I started with the frostlanders and new londoneers. Then later on the evolvers developed and became one of the two main factions. (Faithkeepers, evolvers)

I believe the guaranteed factions are the Frostlanders and New Londoners. These are the non-radical factions.

I think the other factions, or at least one of them, depend on what you choose in the Prologue regarding how the OG city was run. I chose that they followed Order, and got the Stalwarts as my initial radical faction, and later on got the Pilgrims as their opposing faction. I suspect if I chose Faith I would have got the Faithkeepers as my initial radical faction, and if I chose the third option it would either have a third radical faction (not sure which) or it would choose randomly between the two.

I also suspect that whichever initial radical faction shows up also determines who their opposing faction is, since that would make sense thematically, but I'm not sure.

Ah yes, I was wrong, I guess the New londoners and frostlanders are guaranteed. I have not chose order yet so I guessed the overseers were the radical faction that you get but I guess it was the Stalwarts. Thanks for clarifying. FYI: The opposing faction for the faithkeepers are the evolvers.

Most factions and communities appear in Utopia mode instead of Story mode.

[NzFox]

the factions in the story are set by the choice in the prologue.
In utopia you get 3 out of 5(maybe 6?) starting factions when you create the game, and the 4th is dependant on what you build, research and pass into law. The final faction you get for that game is always whatever the counter faction is to the 4th one you got

[Coldflame]

story mode is either

order: stalwarts (new londoners) vs pilgrims (frostlanders)

faith: faithkeepers (new londoners) vs evolvers (frostlanders)
