Extended Shift is one of the laws from the Book of Laws in Frostpunk.
Description[]
Building a city in this frozen hell requires sacrifice. People will get more done if they work longer shifts.
Cooldown: 18h
Path[]
Book: Adaptation
- Previous: Emergency Shift (Adaptation Law)
Characteristics[]
GOOD
* NEW SHIFT LENGTH: Increase the Shift Length; you can extend the workday in any facility to 14 hours
NOTICE
* working overtime causes discontent
* discontent will rise by 2.5% per staffed workplace extended. Discontent will rise by 3% per staffed workplace extended in extreme mode
Notes[]
Allows the player to increase the work time in certain buildings or resource piles from a standard 10 hour day (08:00 to 18:00) to a 14-hour day (06:00 to 20:00). Must be individually turned on; toggle is located when you click on the building or resource pile just under the On/Off Switch on the right side.
- Extended shifts increases the amount of time workers spend at their workplaces; it is assumed that they have a higher chance to get sick from (over)work. Differences in the heat level between the workplaces and the workers' accommodations will further increase/decrease their chances to get sick.
Events[]
This law has events associated with it.
Long Hours of Toil[]
Using extended shifts will eventually trigger this event.
| “ | Sir, our people are worn out. Some of them have been working on extended shifts for days on end. Their effort is taking its toll and they're becoming restless. They deserve a break. | „ |
The options are the following:
- Good idea: You cannot use Extended Shift for 3 days. If you fulfill this quest, hope rises. If you fail, hope falls and discontent rises.
- Force them to work: This option is only available with active guards or faith keepers.
- I won't address this right now: Discontent will rise.
Notes[]
- There is a similar Extended Shift Law in the Labour book.
