Struggling to make it through the early phases of Frozen City? Our Frozen City guide is here to help you. Here, we provide you with a bunch of tips and tricks that will help you through the early phases of the game. This involves how to prioritise your workload, produce more resources, and make the most of your survivors.

Frozen City is an idle building game that challenges you to help a bunch of survivors, errr, survive in a post-apocalyptic frozen wasteland. You have to gather resources, manage them to upgrade your buildings, and keep everyone alive.

You can learn more about it on the official site. If you’re looking for something new to play, check out our Antimatter Dimensions guide, Despot’s Game guide, and Echocalypse guide.

Frozen City Guide

Now, let’s go through a bunch of tips and tricks that will help you make the most of your time in this Frozen City.

Survival Is Key

When you’re just starting out in Frozen City, your priority should be on survival first. The two things you need for that are food and warmth.

Food you get from the Hunter’s Cabin, so make sure you’ve got one of them and have at least one survivor working in it.

Before that though, you’ll need resources – and lots of them. These vary per level, from wood to coal, and managing these should be your priority.

For that, you’ll need to build the building that produces these resources, so build one of these first, and put as many survivors in as you have available. This is your priority, though you will need to have a hunter and cook to ensure a steady stream of food as well.

Resource Management

To make life easier in your village, you can upgrade your buildings to increase the available number of resources, as well as improve the quality of sleep, or make available new resources.

Your first order of business should be to upgrade your resource producer, as well as the equipment in the building. This will allow you to produce the maximum amount of resources, which you need for upgrades, but which often fuels your fire.

This is the second most important aspect of survival: warmth. Well, more like equally first. So you need food for each meal time, but you also need fire to manage the temperature.

The fire costs fuel, and there are two types: Fire and Big Fire. The former is great during the daytime, when temperatures aren’t particularly low, but during the night you’ll need to use the Big Fire.

This is where resource management comes in. You’re going to need to ensure that you have enough to fuel the fire for the entire evening.

Fortunately, you can see how long you’ve got left until the day time by tapping on the timer at the top of the screen. Not only that, you can see how much resources you’re currently burning per minute, so you can calculate this with ease.

Complete Tasks

To progress from one level to the next, you need to complete tasks in Frozen City. These pretty much involve what you’re doing already, from assigning survivors tasks, to producing a certain number of resources, or even building, err, buildings.

It’s a good idea to complete resources in the order that they display, as the prior often supports the next. This will help you progress to the next level a lot faster.

Free Resources

Our last tip to helping you progress through the early stages of the game, is to take advantage of the regular free resources that come your way. You can do so by clicking on the icons that appear at the bottom of the screen.

These can involve watching ads or filling in surveys, and are a great method of getting free resources.
