The Generator [/p][p]Even in the hardest of times, Generator has shielded us from the cold’s deadly touch. Let this pattern serve you as well, brave Citizens.

[p]Hello Citizens!
[/p][p]We’re thrilled to announce that full controller support is coming to Frostpunk 2 on PC starting September 18th, launching alongside the console release.
[/p][p]Building on our experience with the original Frostpunk: Console Edition, we’ve worked hard to refine the gamepad experience for Frostpunk 2. The result is an intuitive, streamlined, circular interface that lets you manage your city with just a flick of your thumb.

Check Out How Frostpunk 2 Adapts to Your Favorite Controller in our new trailer:
[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h3]Adjusted UI Layout
[/h3][p]When you connect your gamepad, you’ll experience a redesigned UI built specifically for smooth navigation. Adapting the complex PC interface for controllers was no easy task, but we’ve created an experience that feels both natural and satisfying. Our goal has always been to prove that even deep, strategic city-builders can feel just as immersive and accessible on a controller.
[/p][p]Enjoy quick access to your most important actions,
[/p]

• [p]Use the bumper buttons to cycle between districts of the same type,
  [/p]
• [p]Interact with a dynamic radial menu that appears over resource piles, showing context-specific actions.
  
  [/p]

[p][/p][p] [/p][h3]Circular Interface for a Quick Management
[/h3][p]To ensure fast and fluid decision-making, we reimagined the circular interface from Frostpunk: Console Edition and rebuilt it for the new challenges of Frostpunk 2.
[/p][p]Since Frostpunk 2 differs in gameplay from its predecessor, we carefully reworked and adapted these systems over time. Our aim is to give you the freedom to choose your preferred way to play, without worrying about how to navigate the controls.
[/p][p]Take a look at the brand-new command wheel and see how seamlessly you can govern your city with just a single tilt of a thumbstick!:

[p]Hello Citizens!
[/p][p]We’re thrilled to see how much Frostpunk’s modding community has grown since the game’s release. Seeing how your creativity expands and reshapes the world of Frostpunk makes us extremely happy, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed! Now, we’d like to invite you to unleash it in the world of Frostpunk 2 like never before.

[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h3]
Prizes & Categories[/h3][p][/p][p]Our main challenge is rewarded with the $10,000 grand prize for Best Overall Mod - which will represent best in creativity and overall technical polish.
[/p][p]But that’s not all! We’ve decided to give you the chance to shine in specific parts of the game. Want to change something related to politics? Or perhaps something that directly affects the game’s appearance? Don’t worry, we have four additional categories that will be judged individually by our jury, plus space for honorable mentions!
[/p][p]Important: If you win in a specific category, you can still be eligible for the Best Overall Mod!

Now, let’s have a look at the prize pool:
