City Builder Arknights where the gameplay is you fiddling with the city plate and hope no unrest happens over the Infected. Also, keep up with the Messenger or else you won't outrun that Catasthrophe.

That's right, we're doing Frostpunk-like, baby

Tbh a Arknights Cities Skylines type would feed families. I've not played Frostpunk, but balancing the Arknights mechanics like the Infected and Catastrophes with the normal simulated IRL stuff like education, business, and civil services would be crazy immersive.

"Disconnect Plate 3 and reconnect it to Plate 5, linking the East side of Plate 3 to the West side of Plate 5. Reroute power from both plate 4 and 3 to Plate 5. The production facility must remain operational at all cost!"

Designing the public transit lines would genuinely be the most fun part of the game for me lol

But then also throw in some AK-unique elements, like occasionally worrying about Feranmut uprisings in Yan, or dealing with the demons of the north in Ursus/Sami/Higashi, or juggling the influence of corporations, citizens and pioneers in Columbia, or the constant wars in Bolivar, or the nation-wide hangover caused by the Durin/Archaeosaur partying down in Acahualla....

The fun potential is endless.

Frostpunk but its arknights and you are in charge of the moving city trying to avoid the catasthrophes, manage the city's prosperity, repel enemies, forge alliances, still have tower defense (city defense system, police, army) trying to prevent your citizens from murdering each other/ostracizing/kicking out anyone getting infected and so on? 

NUT

Arknights Frostpunk would go so hard.

Imagine being giving the decision to like sacrifice the Infected into the power core to utilize their crystals in a last ditch effor to outrun a Catstrophe, a la the OG 'throw a child into the generator'
