Frostpunk 2: How To Stop Faction Riots

If you want to retain your position as the Steward of New London in, you'll need to manage the approval of the various Factions in the game. By balancing your relationship with each Faction, you can prevent your city from collapsing in on itself. Part of this process involves preventing and breaking up riots caused by unhappy Factions.

Heightened Fervor triggers riots; a mechanic measures how displeased a certain Faction is with you. When a Faction has high Fervor and poor relations with you, they'll riot. The opposite effect is called a rally, where Fervor is high, but the Faction is on good terms with you.

If you find a Faction's Fervor has climbed too high and isn't happy with your decisions, they will begin to protest your rule. You can track Fervor for each Faction to see just how big this problem has become. 1 Fervor triggers protests, 2 Fervor starts riots, and 3 Fervor is civil war.

For example, if the Pilgrims are rioting, consider implementing the Family Apprenticeship Law if you haven't already.

This involves lowering a Faction's Fervor via Deradicalization, a major mechanic in stopping growing Unrest and Tension. Be ready to make some evil decisions in to maintain order, as you won't be a Faction's friend when you pursue Deradicalization.
