The Hall of Chiefs is one of the most strategic elements in Whiteout Survival, serving as your command center for coordinating with alliance members and planning your next moves.
Whether you’re a fresh survivor or a battle-hardened veteran, mastering the Hall of Chiefs mechanics can dramatically boost your progression and give you that competitive edge.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk through everything you need to know about the Hall of Chiefs from basic functionality to advanced strategies.
Whiteout Survival Chiefs House Guide: Understanding Contentment
When contentment is high, your citizens work more efficiently, boosting resource production rates. Conversely, low contentment can significantly slow down your progress in Whiteout Survival.
The basic contentment level starts at 100%, which means your citizens are working at their normal capacity. This can increase up to 150% with proper management, giving you a substantial 50% boost to all resource production. However, neglecting your citizens’ needs can drop contentment below 100%, creating a productivity deficit that will hamper your survival efforts.
To check your current contentment level, tap on the Chiefs House building in your settlement. The interface will display your current percentage along with factors affecting it.
Whiteout Survival Chiefs House Guide: Chief Orders (Edicts)
These special directives allow you to significantly boost various aspects of your settlement operations for a limited time. Think of them as temporary power-ups that can give you an edge when you need it most.
Each Edict provides different benefits, from increasing resource production to enhancing combat capabilities. When activated, these orders remain in effect for a specific duration, typically several hours.
Night Shift:
When you activate Night Shift in Whiteout Survival, your Chiefs will work tirelessly to gather resources according to their assigned tasks. The efficiency of your Night Shift operations depends on the level of your Hall of Chiefs – higher levels mean more productive offline gathering.
This makes upgrading your Hall of Chiefs a priority for players looking to maximize their resource accumulation in Whiteout Survival.
To make the most of Night Shift, be strategic about which resources you prioritize before logging off. Focus on materials that are crucial for your current objectives in Whiteout Survival, whether that’s building upgrades, research, or troop training.
Rush Job:
The Rush Job edict is your secret weapon! This powerful command instantly delivers five days’ worth of resources from all your worksites, giving your settlement an immediate boost when you need it most.
For best results, make sure your resource buildings are fully upgraded before activating this edict. Just be careful if your city is suffering from the “sloth’s effect” – your gains will be reduced. With a one-day cooldown and a steep 150,000 Contentment cost, I’ve found Rush Job works best when saved for emergency situations or when you need to quickly complete an important upgrade.
Comprehensive Care:
With the fastest cooldown of any edict, this powerful tool instantly heals all sick survivors in your city, getting your workforce back on their feet when you need them most. Whether it’s the bitter cold, food shortages, or exhaustion causing health problems, Mass Healing provides immediate relief without waiting for individual treatments.
Be mindful though – this miracle cure comes with a steep price tag of 150,000 Contentment points! I recommend saving this for true emergencies when multiple survivors are down and production has stalled.
Double Time:
The “Double Time” edict is a powerful tool that can significantly boost your city’s development by reducing construction and upgrade times by 20%. For Chiefs looking to expand their settlement quickly, this edict is invaluable—especially for newer players.
Activate it before starting any construction project to maximize its benefits. While the initial bonus window lasts only 5 minutes, the time reduction applies for the entire duration of your project.
Keep in mind that this edict becomes less effective once you’ve developed advanced furnaces (level 25+). With its 1-day cooldown period and substantial 800,000 Contentment cost, timing your “Double Time” activation is crucial.
Pro tip: If you’ve got a Hyena Pet with the “Builder’s Aide” skill, you can stack these effects for even faster building times—a perfect combo for ambitious city planners.
Productivity Day:
When activated, this powerful tool doubles your resource production across all worksites for a full 24 hours, making it invaluable during resource-intensive phases of your settlement’s development. However, this productivity surge comes with a 10-point mood penalty for your survivors, so timing is crucial. Avoid combining it with Urgent Mobilization to prevent severe morale issues that could hamper your long-term progress.
With its significant Contentment cost of 50,000 and 12-hour cooldown period, Productivity Day should be reserved for critical moments when you need a substantial resource influx, such as before major upgrades or during special events.
Festivities:
When your survivors are feeling the strain from demanding tasks, activating this celebration transforms your settlement into a vibrant party atmosphere with decorative placards, colorful balloons, and thoughtful gifts. The benefits are substantial: a +50 mood boost and +30 comfort increase that lasts a full 24 hours.
This makes it particularly effective after implementing challenging edicts like “Urgent Mobilization” or “Productivity Day” that typically drain survivor satisfaction.
