Buildings

Buildings are one of the main mechanics in Frostpunk, they are built by accessing the building tab in the lower toolbar (or presing "B" as a shortcut in PC), they are organized in diferent categories, all buildings require resources and people to be built, when placing a building, a structure of beams will be placed, then, citizens that are currently working will start building it, if several citizens start working on the construction, it will build faster. Citizens will also help building in their free time (18:00-8:00 on normal work shifts). If the building's construction is canceled while in this state, you will gain back all of the resources it needed, if the building is completed, it will only give you a fraction of the resources it required. Some buildings are accesible from the start and others will require a law or technology to be able to be built. Certain buildings are upgrades of previous buildings (such as bunkhouses being a upgrade of tents), and therefore can be placed on top of the original building but they can also be constructed on their own without the original buildings. If the better building is placed on top of the original one, the resources required by the original will be subtracted of the total cost of the building.

All buildings on Frostpunk are built on a radial grid, the Generator (or flag, in On the edge scenario) being at the center of the grid. The buildings can shrink or grow in size in order to fit in with their adjacent buildings without leaving gaps, the size numbers are the aproximate tiles the building takes up in angular and radial directions, respectively. This means the first number is the width along the curve and the second one is the length in a straight line from the Generator. Buildings can be rotated (using the middle mouse button), some of the change their size when rotated, in those cases, both sizes are included.
