Can't find the frostkit modding tool, where do I download it?

That you have to make a video about it, instead of integrating that into the gameplay speaks volumes.

I'm still shocked how badly you introduce the game mechanics, if at all. You know, I get told early in the game I can build a research center. Guess what? There is not ONE hint what kind of district you need to built it in.

Also, there are constant exlamation marks at my district and building menus, but NO explanation what they want to tell me. If I open the menus there is nothing that shows me what your game wants to tell me.

I'm deeply disappointed. I preordered but have just played for an hour in early access and I'm still not in the mood to play further because of such bad game design. Fun is something else.

游戏运行没有声音，cg过长动画有声音，能不能帮解决一下

[InsaneDrake]

The tutorial is actually a bit lacking in some details and this video is a great supplement for new players. I hope the in-game tutorial will also be polished to make it perfectly exhaustive but in the meantime it's a great start!

Every district has a building slot. It's standard number is 1. You can expand a district twice to increase it's output and that will give you 1 or 2 more building slots respectively. Buildings also have to be placed in particular districts (you can't put a mine in a food district). Research center can be placed in the main district or a housing district.

This is mostly wrong.

The research institute can only go in a Housing district.

All districts start with 1 building slot EXCEPT for Housing districts, which start with 0. You can expand a Housing district up to two times, ending with 2 building slots. So you have to build a Housing district and then expand it before you will have an open slot for the Research Institute.

All other districts start with 1 building slot and can only be expanded once, which adds a second building slot.

There is no chapter restart option. Make manual saves if you want to be able to restart from a certain point.

You open up the building menu and the tab that the institute is under says "housing".

where do i put oil pumps kept saying place in extracting district in materials but it wouldnt let me put it in the extracting district on a materiel point

[neoadorable]

Frostpunk ranks as one of the best games ever made. Frostpunk 2 spits in the faces of millions of fans. Shame on you. We didn't ask for a Civ meets Cities Skylines in the snow game. Not enough heatstamps! OK, have heatstamps but no workforce. OK, have workforce but not enough materials. Seriously, go to hell.

You're asking all the right questions of the people who took one of the best games of all time and made it into trash. Don't expect an answer.

The good old days when the research labs could go anywhere vacant! To think I waited six years for this sequel...pathetic.
