All Core Locations in Frostpunk 2 (Map)

One of the most precious and most powerful resources you can find in Frostpunk 2 is Cores. These help build some of the most crucial infrastructure for New London and beyond, and you'll need as many as you can find. Here's our handy guide for all Core locations in Frostpunk 2.

Where to find all Cores in Frostpunk 2 (Map Locations)

Cores are an integral part of progression in Frostpunk 2, particularly because you will need a lot of them to fully upgrade New London's generator. They're also used to help build some of the game's more advanced machines, so the more Cores you can get, the better.

In terms of actually finding Cores, you'll need to have access to the surrounding Frostlands via at least one Logistics District, which is built on top of New London's Old Waystations. There are three in all around the city, and if you can get them all built up, they will give you plenty of Frostlander teams to start with.

Cores are found in certain regions across the Frostlands, and you need your Frostlander teams to scout those regions first, to uncover them and find out how many Cores there are. Once done, you'll need a few teams to bring the Cores back to New London as well. Once they arrive in the city, the Cores will become available for you to use. You can check how many Cores you have available at any time via the top of your HUD screen, to the right of your Prefab counter.

Below we've provided a visual slideshow of every region that contains a certain number of Cores that you can salvage. Remember that you can preview which regions will have Cores by clicking on a specific region to see its description. If the blue Core icon is visible in 'Possible Findings', there will be an undetermined number of Cores there. Also, once a region has been fully scouted, it often receives a new name, and we've taken care to indicate those in parenthesis below.

Note: This guide is currently a work-in-progress, as we're continuing to uncover the rest of the map to find where the rest of the Cores are located.
