List of every Hub in Frostpunk 2, and everything you need to know about them
In Frostpunk 2, you are tasked with leading the last city on Earth. You will have to navigate a cold and unforgiving world where resources are scarce, and the needs of your society are constantly growing.
Thus, you’ll need to manage resources, build infrastructure, and make tough decisions, to meet the people’s needs and ensure the survival of society.
Hubs are an important part of the game. Each type of hub serves a distinct and important role in your city, including heating, transport, and maintenance.
Understanding and planning your city with Hubs in mind is key for efficient operations and survival.
In this article we look at each Hub in Frostpunk 2, and their importance in your city.

What are Hubs?
Hubs are special buildings in Frostpunk 2 that have unique effects on the neighboring Districts. They only take up one tile on the map and you can place them anywhere.
Hubs provide positive effects on the area they cover. They reduce the demand for Heat, Workforce, or Material for their corresponding District. Moreover, for the effects of a Hub to take place, it needs to have at least 3 district hexes in its range of influence.
For example, if you place a Heating Hub close to a Housing District, you will lower that District’s demand for heat. Therefore, it is crucial to plan your Districts with Hubs in mind as well.
How to Unlock Hubs
You can unlock Hubs through the Idea Tree. However, you will gain access to the Heating Hub at the start of Chapter 1.
