Only useful if equipped with items. Attach items here to provide bonuses to production and residences.
Arctic Lodge is an Administration Building which provides bonuses to other buildings within its radius, if equipped with appropriate items. It requires 
The Passage DLC and can be built only in The Arctic. It does not need any road connection or access to heating.
Functionality[]
Arctic lodge can affect only those buildings which are located within its radius, no road connection between the buildings is required. The radiuses of different arctic lodges cannot overlap. This means that each building can be affected by only one arctic lodge at once (with the exception of clipping).
While placing an arctic lodge or when having it selected once it is placed, its radius is indicated by a blue circle surrounding it. The buildings which are within its radius and can be affected by the lodge have the area underneath them highlighted in blue. Additionally, when a building is currently affected by the items equipped in the selected lodge, the building itself is also highlighted. When constructing a building which can be affected by an arctic lodge, the area underneath the lodge is highlighted if the constructed building would be placed within its range.
Arctic lodge on its own cannot have any effect on surrounding buildings without having any items equipped inside it. Only the items which are equippable in arctic lodges can be used and only up to three items can be equipped at the same time. These items can affect production buildings and residences, for example by increasing productivity, lowering workforce requirements, decreasing needs consumption etc. The list of possible effects of arctic lodge items and their explanation can be found on a separate page.
Items can be equipped in two ways:
- Selecting an arctic lodge, clicking on one of the item slots and then choosing desired item.
- Dragging desired item onto an arctic lodge from the item storage menu of the island's trading post or warehouses, or from ships which are close enough to the island's trading post or piers.
Items can be unequipped by selecting an arctic lodge and then right-clicking on an item in its item slot. The removed item is transferred back to the island's item storage.
