The Frostland Teams in Frostpunk 2 are vital for the growth and sustainability of your city. These scouting specialists play a crucial role in establishing colonies, creating routes, and discovering new settlements and resources, especially after your local supply has been exhausted.

Here’s how to increase the number of Frostland Teams in Frostpunk 2.

A prime method to acquire more Frostland Teams in Frostpunk 2 is by building Logistics Districts. Locate Old Waystations on your map and construct as many Logistics Districts as you can. Once established, you can expand the District, research Logistics Bays and erect additional buildings within it, leading to a significant boost in your Frostland Teams.

After the expansion, your base team size will rise to 15 members, with the option to include two Logistics Bays in your District.

The Logistics Bays offer two choices: Automated Logistics Bays and Vanguard Logistics Bays. Each type provides different numbers of Frostland Teams and necessitates various resources:

Automated Logistics Bays utilize machinery for resource production, minimizing Workforce and Storage requirements. Constructing this bay grants you 10 Frostland Teams in Frostpunk 2. The construction requirements are:

500 Workforce
50 Heatstamps (construction)
120 Heatstamps (building)
15 weeks

Vanguard Logistics Bays focus on training and providing survival gear, depending on human capabilities for scouting and exploration. Although they require more Workforce, they yield 15 Frostland Teams in Frostpunk 2. To build a Vanguard Logistics Bay, you will need:

500 Workforce
50 Heatstamps (construction)
120 Heatstamps (building)
15 weeks

By expanding and placing these structures, you can have a maximum of 45 Frostland Teams in each District, ready for Frostland Explorations—critical for the expansion of your city.

Minimize Frostland Teams Requirement to Utilize More

Another strategy to conserve your Frostland Teams and free up more scouts for missions is by decreasing the exploration cost. Reducing the exploration cost allows fewer Frostland Teams to be assigned per mission, enabling you to deploy the free teams for additional scouting tasks.

Here’s how to lower the Frostland Teams requirement.

Scout Training

Scout training is an effective method to enhance the efficiency of your Frostland Teams, allowing a smaller group of scouts to complete explorations.

You can choose between two types of scout training: Pathfinder Scouts and Mechanised Scouts. Pathfinder Scouts optimize your Frostland Teams, requiring fewer members for exploration, while Mechanised Scouts expedite the completion time for tasks.

Selecting Pathfinder Scouts is ideal if you wish to maintain a larger pool of available Frostland Teams, whereas Mechanised Scouts will help you finish expeditions faster, freeing up your scouts in a considerably shorter time frame. Once you embark on Scout Training, you unlock the next option to further reduce the requirement of Frostland Teams in Frostpunk 2—the Scout Headquarters.

Scout Headquarters

Constructing a Scout Headquarters is a valuable way to reduce exploration costs and free up more Frostland Teams in Frostpunk 2. You have the option of choosing between the Survivalists’ Headquarters and the Surveyors’ Headquarters. Both require 200 Heatstamps and 33 weeks for development, alongside an additional 120 Heatstamps for construction.

The Survivalists’ Headquarters offers a substantial reduction in exploration costs while providing a moderate increase in speed. This option is beneficial if you want to allocate fewer Frostland Teams for each mission. Conversely, the Surveyor’s Headquarters slightly lessens both exploration costs and speed but with minimal impact overall. The Survivalists’ Headquarters is generally recommended for those seeking to maximize their Frostland Teams.
