You may also want to grab factory relatively early to fix all those amputees but that definitely comes after food, medical, and coal.ДЄ useful quirk on Survivor is that if you either select a building to place or select the build or destroy road option, that does in fact pause the game. Once you get all of those you're good to go. At that point heating is no longer an issue.ДЇor tech, IMO you want to beeline directly to upgraded hunters huts and infirmaries, then steam thumpers. After you've cleared some ruins I recommend building 2 new thumpers side by side so you can use a single steam hub to heat both thumpers and all of the associated gathering huts. Initially before you've cleared ruins, just build a few extra gathering posts near them so they're actually useful. You will also quickly realize that the 2 coal thumpers you start off with are not really set up properly. I went with hunters huts so I could save the steam cores to use on infirmaries and a wall drill. You have enough for the first couple of days but then you'll suddenly be in starvation mode unless you build out a way to produce a lot of food fast. You want insulated worksites to reduce the number of sick people you're generating. As others have suggested, don't clear ruins by hand, build gathering posts. Number 3 for me was the care house to get all those amputees out of my medical posts so they could actually treat the sick instead of just warehousing amputees. Pass overcrowding as your second law because medical is going to be a huge problem initially no matter what you do. The key to that one IMO is first of all to turn the heat on and build medical posts to get discontent down far enough to pass radical treatment (that's your first law). Survivor is really the only level where Winterhome is a huge pain due to the inability to pause.

I completed a fully upgraded dreadnought on survivor running faith, so basically both routes should be fine, but order is of course easier with foreman while faith is also easier with houses of healing. Technically, you just need to send 5000 coals, 300 steel, 250 food rations, 1 steamcore and 25 engineers to complete the scneario. If you are playing on survivor, it is very usual to have more than 200 patients on each day in the first week.ДЄctually if you can complete the first stage of FOH, you will find that it is very easy to pass FOH. To stop people from becoming sick, people should have warm beds, meaning that steam hubs have to be placed optimally, and a major overhaul of the city plan had to be done as well. The first week is the most difficult part: waves of incoming patients and severe shortage of food which could not be solved by soup or sawdust due to great loss of hope by passing the law. If there are no deaths by the time the fifth law is passed, hope should rise to almost 50% assuming that house of prayers or guardposts are places optimally (and you spam the abilities as frequent as you can). The fifth law is the temple or propaganda centre. The third law is either house of prayers or neighbourhood watches, followed by evening prayer or guardposts. The law abilities should also help a lot. Place some fighting arenas in strategic positions. It is fairly easy to reduce discontent to 25% when your citizens have a warm bed and something to eat. To prevent further hope loss, death must he prevented, and so the first few law choices are always very limited in FOW: you always pass suatain life or radical treatment (on hard or survivor level) as the first law, and then followed by overcrowding.
