The trading mechanic is not very deep and sometimes feels extremely shallow and broken. Now, this is where the scenario starts to lose its charm a bit.
You then create a brand new unit type called Construction Team who travel to the new settlement and create Safe Routes and a Trading Hubs from where you can get in touch with the new settlements, offer them help, and in return ask for help as well. With trading, you can develop new relationships with your newly found friends in the Frostland and offer them goods in exchange for goods. Resource collection has always been a challenge in Frostpunk however this time around, after a few starting resources, the location runs dry and you have to rely on another brand new mechanic called Trading. While exploring, you find many new settlements that are willing to help you out but only for a price. After you have been cut off from New London and no new resources are coming your way, you begin to explore Frostland around you in a bid to find more resources.

Naturally, you would want to become free and the game only begins properly at this point. This however becomes really tedious when New London starts imposing extremely harsh rules on you which forces the people to riot and you have to choose between whether you want to keep following New London or ditch them and find your own alternate sources for food and other important resources. After the establishment of a safe route between your outpost and New London, you must collect and send a steady amount of resources back to New London who will then send food and supplies to you since you cannot collect food and certain resources at your current location. This seriously hinders your freedom in the game that the base game and the previous expansions allowed while managing your society. All rules are signed by New London and you have no option but to abide by them. This means that you do not have access to your Book of Laws right from the start of the game unlike the previous expansions for the game. You have to report major events back to New London and only they can sign new rules for your outpost accordingly.
Since you are working under the rule of New London, it means that you do not have complete freedom on how you can run your outpost. However, things are not as simple as they appear on the paper. Your goal is to take control of this outpost, make sure that the local community survives, and create a steady supply chain of supplies for New London. The story of Frostpunk: On The Edge sees you taking charge of a brand new outpost that has been set up near a newly found Military Warehouse that has plenty of supplies for New London. This is our review of Frostpunk: On the Edge in which we try to survive in a brand new outpost and form some new connections in the Frostland.
The final expansion brings some brand new changes and mechanics to the game similar to the previous expansion. While the previous expansion The Last Autumn was a prequel to the game, On The Edge is a direct sequel to the base game with New London now becoming a self-sustaining society. Frostpunk is one of my favorite strategy titles of recent times and 11-bit studios recently released the final expansion for the title On the Edge.
