** Even worse when playing "A New Home", the results of your Scouts implies that the Captain over there didn't manage to evacuate even ''half'' of the highest possible capacity. He only evacuated 150 out of 191 children and the engineers, as based on you find only 41 Winterhome children in various areas.
* Another one is that regardless if you choose to lie about evacuating to another city or not, there was actually a team of scientists scouting out the Frostlands who ''did'' find another city. However, they [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Frostpunk/comments/e3b30e/a_sign_of_new_london_in_winterhome_scenario/ discovered]] what would be New London too late, only seeing that city's Generator smoke around the time the local Generator is ''hours'' from blowing. Even if the scouts made it back with this vital info, the direct path is blocked by impassable terrain. This means that there is [[FridgeHorror no way for the refugees to shelter from the Great Storm, which is around a month away, unless they reach another city]].

* If you refuse to let the desperate father leave to find his runaway daughter in the days before the storm, be it due to lack of food to spare or thinking that he is senselessly throwing his life away, midway through the Storm reveals that after he [[DrivenToSuicide hung himself out of despair]] believing that he would be [[TogetherInDeath reunited with his kin]]. Sad, but the true tragedy is that in a sick twist of fate, said daughter actually ''turned around shortly after leaving New London before the storm hit and was hiding near the Generator the whole time''. Now you have tell her about what happened to her father...

* The another possible ending is if you ''do'' try to save New Manchester, but don't manage to get enough resources together for all relief automatons while still preserving the Arks. The ending narration notes that, although you couldn't save the city, there is at least some solace in knowing you accomplished your mission without losing your humanity. The man from New Manchester won't blame you for failing, likely due to seeing that you did what you could. For all the good that did.
