Frostpunk 2

Where to Find Cores

By
Matt Chard

As you progress further into the Frostpunk 2, and you can begin upgrading the Generator, you’ll start to need an abundance of Cores to build them. These can only be found in the Frostland, and you’ll need to send Frostland Teams out on expedition to find them. If you don’t know where to look, you can waste a lot of valuable time to find them. However, if you read on, we’ve done the legwork for you, and found every location that holds the elusive cores.

You’ll need to send Frostland Teams on Expeditions to find Cores.

Core Locations

Cores are a finite resource and there are ????? Cores to find in the Frostland. These are used to build Generator upgrades and advanced buildings. However, you will need to send Frostland Teams on expeditions to unearth these rare resources, which can be done by setting up Logistic Districts on the nodes around the edges of New London. The more Logistic Districts you have, the more Frostland Teams you have to send out on expeditions.
