As a seasoned survivor of the frozen wastes, I can confidently say that understanding the laws in Frostpunk 2 is crucial for survival. The game’s political mechanics are as chilling as the environment, mirroring real-life governance far too accurately for comfort!


In the world of Frostpunk 2, laws play a significant role in shaping your gameplay experience. However, their resemblance to real-life governance can sometimes be a double-edged sword. Some laws are beneficial and essential, while others can be burdensome and best avoided like a plague. Let’s explore the most advantageous laws to adopt early in Frostpunk 2 and discuss their functions.

High Priority Laws

It’s important to familiarize yourself with these laws quickly since they are crucial, and some might prove challenging due to the politics system in Frostpunk 2. The sequence in which you gain access to them isn’t significant; what matters is that you acquire them initially before moving on to other tasks.

  1. Service Exemptions – Increases your Heatstamp gain by a slight margin.
  2. Dutiful Youth – Decreases crime as well as increasing the number of available workers. Also unlocks the Youth Volunteer Duty ability.
  3. Family Apprenticeship – Increases the number of active workers.
  4. Paid Essentials – Increases your Heatstamp gain and overall production efficiency.
  5. Unproductive Do Maintenance – Decreases your overall Materials demand and increases production efficiency.
  6. Harvesting Funerals – Gives you a research time boost and decreases disease.

Each of these laws has beneficial outcomes, but keep in mind the circumstances linked to them, as they may either amplify or diminish their advantageous results.

Average Priority Laws

As an enthusiast, I find average priority rules pretty useful once you get to them, but they’re not absolutely necessary at the onset. They can be incredibly potent in specific situations, so it’s wise to unlock them eventually. However, there’s no need to prioritize them at the very beginning as they aren’t critically important for immediate progress.

  1. Heat Recycling – Decreases heat demand in housing districts but increases your overall disease chance.
  2. Guided Voting – Unlocks the Guided Voting ability that makes it easier for you to pass laws in the future.
  3. Durable Goods – Decreases your overall goods demand.
  4. Supported Quarantine – Greatly reduces disease chances but also takes up a large part of your available housing.
  5. Efficiency Bonuses – Slightly increases your production efficiency.
  6. Weather-Adjusted Shifts – Decreases the head demand in every district type except for housing, slightly reduces disease chance, but also reduces overall productivity.

Some of these regulations might stir debate within your community, and you may occasionally get petitions to abolish them. However, consider not making such changes unless the rapport with a crucial group significantly weakens.

Low Priority Laws

Implement these laws only when there’s no more important legislation to address, or when a particular group is causing difficulties regarding the laws under discussion in the previous categories.

  1. Guard Enforcers – Unlocks the Quell Protest ability to deal with protests and the Mobilise Watchtower Squads ability to deal with crime.
  2. Chemical Additives – Increases overall food production efficiency while also increasing disease chance.
  3. Mechanised Scouts – Decreases the exploration time of your scout teams.
