Refugees arriving at the city in The Refugees
| “ | The safety of the Generator was reserved for the wealthy. We seized it so we could build a city where people are equal. But can we accept everyone who comes to seek shelter? | „ |
The Refugees is one of the scenarios in Frostpunk, unlocked after surviving twenty days of A New Home. This scenario revolves around your city dealing with new people arriving every two or so days, initially the refugees from London and later The Lords who tried to have you and them thrown out, as well as dealing with the discontent associated with the two mingling.

- If you intend to give the lords shelter, it is recommended to have either a Guard Post or Faith Keepers ready before the first lords arrive, as most conflicts between the poor and the lords can only be resolved by calling either guards or faith keepers to break them up.
- Overcrowding and Child Labour - Safe Jobs laws are recommended on harder difficulties
Lore[ | ]
| “ | We were condemned to die with the rest of the common folk when London was destroyed. But we rose up. We commandeered the ships that were meant to carry the wealthy to safety and sailed north. Here we found a Generator and claimed it for ourselves. Now we must gather all our people in this new city before the lords arrive to rob us of our freedom again. | „ |
| ~ Intro Dialogue |
Additional notes[ | ]
Scenario can end in many ways
- The Lords are enslaved or violently murdered (Faith path with no Faith Keepers)
- If you refuse the lords, then they set up camp outside of your city. After enough time, your citizens will ask you to build two expensive outposts in order to feel safe against the lords. If you succeed at this, then the lords leave and the scenario ends. If you fail, then the citizens go out to the lords' camp and slaughter them all.
- There is also the equality ending if you manage to sooth the tensions between the two groups (this ending is considered canon? and will award you with a steam achievement).
