How many people have you saved?

[TheBlade1]

662 people on
A new home - normal mode

Had 50,000-60,000 coal in storage .. With six months worth of food. My next play through will be a bit different I think. The number of resource depos was crazy!

I've finished a new home on hard with 695 population at the end. This the highest I've seen.

There is some randomness to how many survivors you'll encounter at each node in frostland. Also, you need to escort everyone; people will die without escorts even on a 12 hour trek home. However, you do not have travel out to meet the waves of refugees after the Londoners crisis.

You can save everyone on all scenarios.

Was it all worth it?

I saved 630 people. Had 10 hours of coal and 7 days of food, 0 metal, and some wood ahahah

662 on hard, no coal mines. Best I've ever done.

My favorite setting for ANH is everything extreme, except illness and hunger on hard.
(I dislike unlucky deaths from gravely ill people figuring out a path to hospitals a few hours too late)
I can reliably end up with ~690-695 people, 25k coal, 1-2k wood and steel, 5k regular rations (although I use soup up to around day 20), and all techs researched (using only 1 emergency shift).

Not Winterhome. Some people die on day 1 before you can even do anything and there's not enough room on the Dreadnaught to save everyone after that even if you play flawlessly. So a few dozen deaths are guaranteed.

We were meant to save people? Uh oh, I think I may have misunderstood the assignment....

Actually no... you are just meant to keep humanity alive, not to save everyone :)

I mean the Londoners... i saved them, but if it was for real, i would have thrown them happily :D
