How To Send Construction Teams In Frostpunk

Construction teams are essential units in Frostpunk that allow you to trade resources with other settlements and refuges across the map. This guide walks you through the process of building and deploying construction teams to maximize your trading opportunities and resource management.

Building Your First Transport Depot

The first step in creating a construction team is building a Transport Depot. This structure serves as the central hub for managing both incoming and outgoing shipments, as well as units. Once constructed, you’ll have access to all the tools needed to create and deploy construction teams.

Creating a Construction Team

To create a construction team, you’ll need the following resources:

50 Wood

50 Steel

10 Workers

Once you have these materials, navigate to your Transport Depot and press the plus button to create a new unit. The process is identical to creating scouts, making it straightforward for players already familiar with unit production.

Locating and Selecting Trade Sites

After creating your construction team, zoom out on the map to see available locations where you can send them. These might include settlements like the Children’s Mine. Once you identify a location, you can select it to view available trade options.

Trading Resources with Other Settlements

Construction teams unlock trading opportunities with other refuges. For example, at the Children’s Mine, you can negotiate trades such as:

Sending materials for a basic medical post along with people to staff it

Receiving 100 coal in return

Trading resources for coal and other valuable materials

Each settlement may offer different trade deals, so it’s worth exploring multiple locations to find the best exchanges for your current needs.

Sending Shipments and Tracking Delivery

Once you’ve selected a trade and confirmed your shipment, the construction team will depart with the agreed-upon items. You can monitor the delivery status by checking the Transport Depot, where you’ll see notifications indicating that your shipment is “on route.” The construction team will handle the delivery automatically, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your settlement.

Managing Multiple Trade Routes

As you progress in Frostpunk, you can send out multiple construction teams to different refuges simultaneously. The Transport Depot interface allows you to queue and manage several shipments at once, making it easy to coordinate trades across multiple settlements and maximize your resource acquisition.

Summary

Sending construction teams in Frostpunk is a straightforward process that significantly enhances your trading capabilities. Build a Transport Depot, gather the required resources (50 wood, 50 steel, and 10 workers), create your construction team, and deploy them to other settlements for trade. By managing multiple construction teams and exploring various trade routes, you’ll have access to crucial resources that help your city survive and thrive in the frozen world.
