My guess is in ship yards. Given the era maybe in London itself at least for the one in “a new home” but others could have been made in more famous ship yards like Belfast, Glasgow and Liverpool.

Liverpool especially. If they're headed north it would be full. I believe at the time there was almost 100 individual docks In and around the city. If something came from America or south America, odds are it came from Liverpool.

I’m not sure they would be actually made in the slipways (they don’t seem like they would need it) but the same places do make sense transferring the industry from ship building to making the dreadnoughts


CaptainMatthew1

Yeah I was thinking they would have the right skills and equipment to make one.

Since the game is set in England it would have likely been produced in Barrow in Furness which is where they make military equipment such as submarines, which are also called Dreadnought

Submarines isn't called a dreadnought?


Sanctuary2199

Dreadnought was merely a name given to a ship. The introduction of HMS Dreadnought, the all-big gun battleship, transformed the definition of the word to describe a whole manner of style of ships. Terms like "pre-dreadnought" exist to describe it. Nowadays, Dreadnoughts are used to describe something powerful without sounding old. Which is strange as Battleships are the more modern term than Dreadnought. But I do think, despite its military history, the Dreadnoughts "Fear Not" are a fitting name for the vessels that would carry the last remnants of civilization.

considering one of the frostland places in frostpunk 2 has a dreadnought buried in snow, and its said that dreadnoughts are literally 600m long (that's longer than any existing ship), im guessing they had their own building stations

Where in London?


ivo2502

the place where they make the dreadnaughts

In London

In a pub.


LoudSwimming5148

My bets are on Liverpool and London


jackocomputerjumper

Well they're huge, and it's a -punk lore. So I don't think it relate to reality (shipyards) but if it was realistic it would definitely be shipyards.


Aggressive-Ad-2053

Probably repurposed military ship yards. Likely London or perhaps on the Clyde


Maleficent-Coat-7633

Given the industry there at the time I imagine at least one of them was built at Chatham.

The largest navy shipyards were Plymouth, Portsmouth, and Clyde which is probably where most would have been made. It’s also possible that Leith, Belfast, Liverpool, and Newcastle could have been used as they were large shipbuilding sites. There are other possible sites given the alt-hist scenario, but those I said seem most likely as they predate the divergence.
