Scouting
Icon Scouts

Scouting is one of the Game Mechanics in Frostpunk. See Scouts for the Class type.

Description[ | ]

Upon creating a Beacon, the player can send scouts out into Frostland to various locations. Scouting is an integral part of the game, and is one of the most efficient ways to gather Wood, Coal, Steel, Raw Food, and Food Rations. Scouting is also the primary and often the only way to gather Steam Cores. Scouts combine with Outpost Depots for a much greater effect.

Scouting also serves as a way to advance the storyline in most of the Scenarios. A scouting party costs 40 Wood and 5 Workers.

In The Last Autumn (Expansion) Scouting and Outposts are replaced by Foraging. Foragers can explore the Frostland just as Scouts would or from certain sites collect food for a specific number of days similar to Outposts. A Foraging Team costs 20 Wood, 10 Steel, and 15 Workers.

In On The Edge a new unit called Construction Team is featured. It costs 50 Wood, 50 Steel, and 10 Workers

Upgrades[ | ]

The following technologies improve scouting:

Tips[ | ]

Utilizing the following strategies can increase the effectiveness of your scouts:

  • Scouts travel faster to known locations. If a scout is being sent after returning to your city, it's often faster to send them to the nearest known location first.
  • Outpost Teams travel faster than scouts. If you have an outpost team available, you can send them along with your scouts to make locations known, even if the Outpost Team itself cannot search the location. Once the Outpost Team finds the location, resend the scout to the location to cut down the amount of time it takes for your scouts to travel.
  • Some locations trigger dilemmas that can cause you to lose a scouting party, such as Tesla City. The loss of your party is random, so you can save your game before searching the location and reload your game if your party ends up dying on the first attempt. This is known as "save scumming" and is sometimes considered cheating.

Speed Comparison[ | ]

The time needed per group to travel the same distance is shown in the Table below. Reference is the distance travelled by non-upgraded scouts in one hour.

Non-Upgraded Lighter Scout Sleds/Faster Outpost Teams Boosted Scout Sleds
Outpost Team 15min 10min
Scouts 60min (30) 45min (22.5) 30min (15)
Automaton Scouts 48min (24) 36min (18) 24min (12)
Construction Team 32.5min
People coming to the City 80min

Scouts and Automaton Scouts only need half the time when traveling to known locations. Outpost Teams do not benefit from this.

Sending Scouts from the City to retrieve people on their way to the City will cut their travel time to roughly half. (~65%/54%/~41%)

Notes[ | ]

Locations listed under Walled Colony (Exile Colony) may vary by difficulty level and/or be partially randomized. Confirmed the location of Fishing Village changing from being revealed by Tesla City on one playthrough at Normal difficulty and Fishing Village actually revealing Tesla City on another playthrough at Hard difficulty. On the same two playthroughs, the location of Ruined Warehouse was replaced with Supply Depot and Damaged Snowcat replaced Snow-Covered Supplies, which appeared further south and west. Most locations, however, appear to remain the same.

Take the "Reveals" column as a loose example. The map seems to be somewhat randomized with each new game, with scouting one location revealing one (or more) from a set of possibilities as opposed to a fixed progression.

Similarly, the "Free Technology" list below is randomized, with a playthrough giving "Generator Safety Bypass" at the Large Crater, not the Jagged Rocks. In another playthrough in 2024, using a savepoint reloaded from just prior to Exploring the Jagged Rocks site, found all previously identified Level V technologies, plus Additional Scouts (a Level IV technology); and it appeared that collecting a second "Free Technology" from another site was not possible while already carrying one, so delivering each found tech to The City may be obligatory.

Free Technology[ | ]

Level V:

  • Advanced Coal Mine
  • Boosted Scouts
  • Generator Safety Bypass
  • House Insulation

Level IV:

  • Additional Scouts

Notes[ | ]

  • Locations marked with * have people
  • You may get small amount (2-5) of generator resources in the Builders mode corresponding to the resource types at location.
  • Discoverable locations vary depending upon the map, mode, and difficulty setting. Higher difficulties produce more locations that have no resources.
  • To get the "There is no Waldo" achievement you need to visit every location in the endless list above, including the three trading settlements, so ensure you have toggled the 'settlements' option on.
  • Steam Cores are usually 2-3, both on Easy and Extreme. On Easy, you'll probably get 3 SC most of the times. They are located near the "outermost" ring, so prioritize expanding your scouts ASAP if you want to get them all. You'll get around 2-3 locations with them per Storm, with a total of about 6 SC/Storm on Extreme or average.
  • Until your Archives are filled, you will find 2 to 3 (usually 2 on later Storms on Extreme) Dreadnoughts with relics.
