The Steam Hub is one of the Buildings in Frostpunk.

Acquisition

Steam Hub is available after finishing research Steam Hub (Technology), then it can be built from Tech tab.

Description

Can switch Working Hours between 8:00 - 18:00, 6:00 - 20:00, 24h

The Steam Hub is a steam-powered contraption that is basically a smaller version of the Heat Generator Tower. When powered by the Generator, these devices create additional Heat Zones around them. They can only be built on Streets, and have a built-in clock/timer that can be set to keep the hub on during Work Hours (8:00-18:00), Extended Work Hours (6:00-20:00) or 24 Hours per day. Each active Steam Hub will consume about half as much Coal as the Generator based on its Steam Level.

Steam Hubs also serve as refueling stations for Automatons, which will walk to the nearest Steam Hub and dock with it in order to refuel twice a day, although this refueling trip does not affect their productivity.

Steam Hubs should not be confused with Steam Cores. Constructing a Steam Hub does not require a Steam Core.

Upgrades

Research Steam Hub Range Upgrade II (Technology): +50% Heat zone radius, consuming twice as much Coal.
Research Steam Hub Efficiency Upgrade (Technology): -33% consumed Coal, i.e. 1 per range setting (to 2 or 4).

Notes

It is useful to provide heat to working areas and shelters in order to prevent frostbite and to expand other places beyond the Generator's area.
Heat zones created by steam hubs and the generator do not stack, so any overlap is wasteful.

Stream Hubs are also refuel stations of [[Automaton|Automatons]], when their [[Steam Core]], fuel tank or batteries start getting low the metal behemoths will walk to the nearest Stream Hub and dock with it in order to refuel. So it is a smart idea to build a Stream Hub close by any [[Buildings|Automaton operated buildings]], so slow and lumbering Automaton don’t have to walk far to refuel itself. Each active Steam Hub will consume about half as much [[Coal]] as the Generator consumes based with each [[Generator#Levels|Steam Level]].

-==Notes==
-* Researching Steam Hub can be done at the [[Workshop]]. It costs 10 [[Wood]] and requires 7 in-game hours.
-* Each Steam Hub will create a smaller heat zone outside of the Generator range.
-* It is useful to provide heat to working areas and shelters in order to prevent frostbites and to expand other places beyond the [[Generator]]'s area.
