Districts are the literal building blocks of your city in Frostpunk 2. Apart from helping you structure your city, Districts provide essential resources, influence your city's morale, and determine your overall success. Whether it’s Food, Shelter, or Frostland Teams, you’ll need to build different Districts to accommodate your citizens’ needs. This guide explains the different types of Districts in Frostpunk 2 so you can prioritize and build them according to your needs.

For players who want to work extra hard when crafting their Frostpunk 2 utopia, they should keep these brutally difficult starting locations in mind.
All Districts in Frostpunk 2
There are a few different types of Districts in Frostpunk 2. Each district has a specific function and ensures that your city has a steady supply of the essentials it needs to survive the harsh temperatures.
Food District
Food Districts are responsible for producing food to sustain your population and ensure your city’s survival in the harsh weather. You should start building multiple Food Districts as soon as possible to stockpile food and overcome food shortages in extreme weather conditions. As your city grows, the demand for food will increase. You'll need to expand your Food District to meet the growing needs of your citizens.
Extraction District
Extraction Districts are specialized buildings that are dedicated to extracting resources from deposits. You can extract Prefabs, Materials, Oil, and other valuable resources from different deposits.
Once a deposit is depleted, an Extraction District loses much of its value. It becomes less productive and may no longer be worth maintaining. You can destroy a depleted Extraction District and receive a partial refund to get back some of your initial investment.
Housing District
Housing Districts provide Shelter for your citizens to survive in the harsh winter conditions. While they don't directly increase your population, Housing Districts provide the space and resources to accommodate new settlers from expeditions or natural population growth. If you notice a drop in your heat index, it's often due to a lack of housing.
Central District
Think of the Central District as the administrative center of your city. It's located at the heart of your settlement and houses the Council Hall and the Generator. The Council Hall is where you can propose or approve any laws you deem fit for your city. The Generator is a powerful heat source that provides warmth to surrounding districts, making sure they survive the harsh winter. You can build out from the Central District to expand your city.
Industrial District
Industrial Districts are essential for producing Goods and Prefabs in Frostpunk 2. You can order an Industrial District to produce either Goods or Prefabs, depending on what you need at the moment. Goods reduce crime and increase income, while Prefabs are necessary for construction. As your city grows, you'll need multiple Industrial Districts to meet these demands.
Logistics District
Logistics Districts are essential for expanding your city’s reach and scouting for resources. These districts can only be built on Old Waystations situated near the corners of the map, meaning you’ll have to Frostbeak to these areas before you can build one.
Once you have a Logistics District, you’ll get access to Frostland Teams that can go out on expeditions and even establish colonies. Constructing additional Logistics Districts will provide you with more Frostland Teams, allowing you to run more expeditions.
