Steward

This is the second-highest difficulty level in Frostpunk 2. There will be extremely harsh weather, scarce resources and a population who just can’t be happy. If you consider yourself an expert, then go for it.

Captain

It is the most difficult level. Many players don’t even go for this setting since there is absolutely no place for mistakes. You will be faced with one problem after another. Only those who have completed the game at least once should try out this difficulty level.
