What's up with engeneers at Storm Shelters location?

[rgreat]

What are they up to?
Can i recall them freely, of they are actually can give me something?

[Pigeon]

A question if you want spoliers or not

[rgreat]

I i did not wanted spoilers i would not asked,

[Pigeon]

Just wondering, they unlock just one extra path if you go there with a scout it will show you can bring a marginally amount of resources(200 wood and 100 iron if i remeber) or you have them keep going to invisgate some smoke on the horizen though the scouts wont make it back if you do.

The explorers send you on the path to send a surviver to new londen, it the correct lore choice to leave them to do this.

I then took all of

[Troublecore]

I didn't take them, but no next event happens (maybe bugged). How to trigger next steps for Storm Shelter?

[ForrestFox]

Have visited the scientists twice now and they dont give any direction. Either its bugged or you guys are talking about two different scientist locations.
(Nevermind.. Day 25 they discover something at the storm shelter)

[Pirate Captain]

Does sending the explorers to new London change anythig? I got the event option on day 25 and on day 26 my reactor shuted down permanently, so didn'd get anything from it.

The game prides itself on giving you short term and long term consequences for decisions. eating the marshmallow instead of waiting is a common choice.

what do marshmallows have to do with choices?? also, there are no marshmallows in my house. so its not a common choice around here whatever it may be that you are trying to refer to.

Look up the Stanford marshmallow experiment.

Has anyone figured out this yet? Is there any consequence for sending the scouts away or is it just pure fluff? If there's one thing I don't like about Frostpunk it's those meaningless choices.

Like those in the Refugees scenario where you can:
1. Take hanged engineer's tools
2. Bury them.
But literally nothing happens if you take 2.

Another one is:
1. Ransack lord's vault for some steel and steam cores
2. Leave it be.
Again, second choice has absolutely no consequences. Why give us choices then? Eh.

Not every choice should have consequences, some of them can be superstitious beliefs or just wrong information. For example : "Don't take steam core from the dead", but actually he is already dead and your action will change nothing to him. There are just bunch of scouts who found steam core. But i like the idea of extension for these events.

Sure, in real life. But Frostpunk is a game. In a game if the designer gives you choices it's kindda expected those choices are meaningful. Especially in a game like Frostpunk that drills that into you every step of the way. If it's a deliberate design decision than I strongly dislike it. It goes against the entire philosophy of this game's design.
