How To Make Prosthetics In Frostpunk

Prosthetics are essential resources in Frostpunk that help keep your citizens healthy and productive. This guide will walk you through the complete process of building and operating a prosthetics factory, from researching the necessary technologies to optimizing production for maximum efficiency.

Research the Required Technologies

To begin making prosthetics, you’ll need to unlock the appropriate technologies in your technology tree. Navigate to the Exploration and Industry section and research down the technology tree to unlock Level Two Drafting Machines.

Once you’ve unlocked Level Two Drafting Machines, move across the technology tree and unlock the Factory technology. This building is described as “a plant where automations and other highly advanced devices can be produced” and is the cornerstone of prosthetics manufacturing.

Building Your Prosthetics Factory

After unlocking the Factory technology, you can begin construction. Strategic placement is crucial for efficiency. It’s recommended to place your factory near your Steel Works, as you will need steel for every prosthetic unit produced. This proximity reduces transportation time and streamlines your resource flow.

Configuring Factory Production

Once your factory is placed and operational, enter the factory interface to configure prosthetics production. You’ll see that the factory produces one prosthesis from five steel. This is your base production ratio.

Setting Production Quantities

You have flexible options for how many prosthetics to produce:

Set a specific number of units to manufacture

Select unlimited production, which will cause the factory to continuously produce prosthetics indefinitely

Optimizing Prosthetics Production

Beyond basic production, you can streamline your prosthetics manufacturing to reduce costs and increase production speed. These optimizations make prosthetics cheaper to produce and allow them to be manufactured faster, improving overall efficiency.

Automatic Resource Distribution

Once prosthetics are manufactured, they automatically enter your resource pool. You don’t need to manually add them to stockpiles or distribute them—the system handles this automatically. This means your completed prosthetics are immediately available for your citizens to use.

Summary

Making prosthetics in Frostpunk is a straightforward process once you understand the necessary steps. Research Level Two Drafting Machines and unlock the Factory technology, place your factory near your Steel Works for efficiency, configure your production settings (either a specific amount or unlimited), and let the automatic distribution system handle the rest. With prosthetics in steady supply, your citizens will be healthier and more productive throughout the harsh conditions of Frostpunk.
