The Arctic Harbor is a special goods building of the Arctic Future that sends out a ship, the Pole Dancer, on Arctic expeditions to collect Promethium.

Production[]

This building produces Promethium Promethium, a special good of the Age Arctic Future.

One trip to the Arctic provides the player with 50 promethium. The ship requires the selection of three crew members from five randomly offered crew members. The amount of harvested promethium can be augmented or reduced by the crew members. A damaged ship also reduces the amount of promethium acquired.

The standard travel time of the ship is 24 hours. By upgrading the Arctic Harbor and hiring certain crew members, the expedition time can be decreased to a minimum duration of 7 hours.

Ship damage[]

Taking a trip to the Arctic damages the ship by 15%. A damaged ship hauls less goods and needs more time to take a round trip. A highly damaged ship also costs more goods to repair.

Name Damage % Promethium Travel time Repair cost
Hull 10% -1 +18 min 10 of each AF good
Propeller 30 % -7 +114 min 20 of each AF good
Cargo bay 50 % -15 +264 min 35 of each AF good
Bridge 70 % -25 +456 min 65 of each AF good
Main engine 90 % -37 +690 min 115 of each AF good

First Upgrade[]

The first upgrade reduces the standard travel time of your ship to 21 hours. Your ship capacity increases by 6 (to 56).

Second Upgrade[]

The second upgrade reduces the standard travel time of your ship to 18 hours. Your ship capacity increases by 9 (to 65).

With this upgrade your crew must have 4 crew members and the choice window will give you 6 Crew members to choose from instead of 5.

Crew Members[]

You can hire crew to sail in your ship to Arctic and mine Promethium. They will also gain 100 experience points each time you use them. When they gain levels, they will perform even better.
