Explorer Shelter

Your residents live here. Residents provide income and workforce.

Explorer Shelter is the first type of Residence available in The Arctic, which requires The Passage DLC. As long as it is connected to the Trading Post it can provide housing for the Explorers. Fulfilling needs of residences can increase the explorer population and their workforce, heat, and income they generate. After fulfilling all basic needs, an explorer shelter can be upgraded into Technician Shelter for the cost of 4 tons of Timber.
