Survive the winter in this procedural colony sim. Expand a struggling camp into a massive, thriving colony island. · By
Thank you for playing Frostward!
I’ve spent countless hours building and playing this game, but that means I have a huge blind spot: I already know exactly how everything works. Having fresh eyes on the game is the only way to find the rough edges I've grown blind to.
I'd love to hear about your experience. Did you find any bugs? Was anything confusing? Did you just have fun? Drop a comment below, all feedback is welcome and incredibly helpful!
This is one of the best city builders on this site.
One of my favs was Cityidle but while that was very impressive, I felt the lacked the personal character with the population this game is going for.
I think traits could be more useful for example someone could have the brilliant trait and be able to apply medical attention faster or hearty having more health.
I was confused on how I get more people to work on buildings I couldn't seem to raise the cap past the min limit is there a way to raise that?
Hey, firstly thank you for playing. So happy to hear you liked the game so far!
Traits are definitely something I have on the roadmap. You might noticed villagers already have some, for example "cold blooded", "industrious", but right now they don't do much.
As for how to gain more villagers, currently there are two ways: Happy villagers pair up and have children, or wanderers will occasionally ask to join. For wanderers, you'll get a couple per season, and its a popup at the top middle of the screen asking if you accept them or send them away.
You are welcome and thank you for the reply it's great to know traits will have more use.
I was referring to the villagers' workstations for example I can only have one doctor for a hospital how do I upgrade that to more? My villagers are sick and I don't know what to do the advice says, "I'm treating them." But the sickness is still spreading.
It's extremely overwhelming when starting. There's so many menus and options with so much text, it's not clear at all what to do. It's nice that you have a wiki but I don't want to read a whole manual when I start a new game.
I eventually found the buildings, and placed a few (forrest keep, saw mill, and 1 house), but nothing happened. Took another while until I found I can assign someone as builder. They built the house and sawmill first, and then there wasn't enough left for the forrest keep, so it seems like I justed got locked out of continueing the game.
