Prefabs are ‘prefabricated’ building components that you need for the construction of buildings, hubs, and districts in Frostpunk 2. If you’re facing a shortage, this means that the expansion of your city comes to a halt and growth may suffer which is terrible news for your citizens. If you’re looking for ways to get more Prefabs, this guide has all the options you can consider.
How to Get More Prefabs
Build Extraction Districts
Locate Prefab Deposits in Abandoned Ruins on the map and construct Extraction Districts on them. These structures will extract Prefabs over time.
You can also go for an Industrial District but an Extraction District will give you a better outcome.
Build Industrial Districts
As mentioned, Industrial Districts can also be built on Prefab deposits and while they’re primarily for producing goods, Industrial Districts can be switched to produce Prefabs if you’re running out.

Demolish Districts
When you demolish a District, you’ll recover a portion of the Prefabs used to build it. This can be a good strategy if you’re facing a shortage and need to free up space quickly.
Explore the Frostland
Send Frostland Teams to explore the cold wilderness and they may uncover some more hidden Prefab deposits or abandoned ruins containing Prefabs so it’s a good idea to do this as an add-on.
Research Ideas
Certain Ideas can increase Prefab production efficiency or unlock new Prefab-related technologies.
For example, there’s Mechanical Factory, that slightly increases Squalor but gives you 40 Goods, and 10/Week Prefabs. For some more Prefabs like 20/Week, you can go for Remoulded Prefabs Factory which can be found under Prefabs Factories. However, it will slightly increase Disease.
Based on the situation your City is in, you can decide whether you can handle an increase in Disease or Squalor.
Overall, ensure you’re also producing enough materials and food to support your growing city. Consider the long-term needs of your city and adjust your production accordingly.
This is how you can ensure a consistent supply of Prefabs, enabling your city to expand and thrive in the harsh world of Frostpunk 2. If you’re also looking for ways to boost active workers, here’s how to get more Workforce.
