Frostpunk 2 brings a bunch of new stuff to the game, including the super important Deep Melting Drill. This new tool is key to keeping your city alive in the freezing cold.

What is the Deep Melting Drill?
The Deep Melting Drill in Frostpunk 2 is like a super-powered resource gatherer. It’s not like regular drills – it’s meant for maximizing resource extraction from specific map areas.
Unlike generic drills and gathering posts, this particular drill targets deep, fertile soil or similar resource nodes, ensuring a continuous yield crucial for the survival of your city.
Placement of the Deep Melting Drill
Identifying Suitable Locations
You can’t just put the drill anywhere. These locations are typically marked, and you can easily spot them once you’ve identified the criteria. Here’s what to look for:
- Deep Fertile Soil: Look for areas highlighted by an icon that resembles a figure-eight indicating infinity. These are the resource-rich sweet spots for placing your drill.
- Expanded Food Districts: Ensure that your food districts or similar infrastructure are appropriately upgraded and expanded to accommodate the drill.
Step-by-Step Placement Guide
- Access the Construction Menu: Navigate to the ‘Construct Buildings’ section in the game’s interface.
- Select the Deep Melting Drill: Within the construction options, locate and click on the ‘Deep Melting Drill.’
- Locate Suitable Spot: Scan your map for highlighted areas that meet the aforementioned criteria. Typically, there will be about four suitable sections on your map.
- Place the Drill: Click on the highlighted area to place the drill. You’ll notice a visual cue as the spot highlights, verifying it’s a valid location for your drill.
Resource Management and Lifespan
The game shows an infinity sign for the drill, but don’t worry – it won’t run out before you finish playing. It’ll keep giving you stuff for several weeks in the game.
Getting the Most from Your Drill
To maximize the benefits of the Deep Melting Drill:
- Always prioritize placement in the designated deep fertile soil areas.
- Coordinate the placement with the expansion of food and resource districts to streamline resource management.
- Monitor other resource extraction techniques to maintain a balanced and efficient resource pool.
