There are many difficult achievements in "Ice Age 2", and the core collection is one of them. To achieve this achievement, you need to rescue all the core deposits in Winterholm before the toxic gas engulfs the city. This It is very troublesome and requires attention when doing it.
How to make the core collection achievements of Frostpunk 2
Core Collection
Salvage all of Winterholm's core deposits before toxic gases engulf the city
Play on Citizen difficulty to keep the situation under control.
Location: Story-Chapter 4 [After you colonize the Dong family]
As shown above, when you send your colonists to the ruins of Winter Home, you, like so many times in the game, are given a choice on how to proceed.
Select the option "Salvage Winter Home" and you will be tasked with salvaging the core to upgrade New London's generator
This is tricky, my personal approach is to commit suicide:
Before you begin, make sure you have your resources and labor ready [listed below]
Send additional staff to Winterhome (+5000 employees)
Method of cleaning each core sediment using rapid antifreeze (reference picture)
When you clear the frost, be sure to set up an extraction zone to mine these cores
At some point you may get a prompt saying there are enough cores, this is fake housekeeper and you have to get every core, keep working and extract every one
I didn't bother building any housing.
I didn’t bother looking into automated labor. (You need to research it, then build an industrial zone, transport some oil, then build an automated labor factory)
I used 10 "quick freezes" to clear the paths to all cores [400 heat stamps/200 prefabs]
I built 6 extraction areas to extract all cores [240 hot stamps/900 prefabs/2400 labor]
I lost over 5,000 people due to toxic smoke and cold.
The achievement will be unlocked when you build the "Hyperdrive Regulator" on the generator in New London and complete this chapter.
