Just got to the silos in my new game. 1 grain/minute to double an animal farm's output in the Old World. I imagine the ratios will be similar in the New World with corn replacing wheat. So basically you're trading an extra what farm for an animal farm. The ratio doesn't work out so well with sheep but you're saving workers on Pigs and Cows (and beauty on the Pigs as well). Of course I imagine that trade only gets better when you get mechanized farming up and running and/or get some productivity going.

Does the power plant have oil? There's a "no supply" icon over the power plant so the first oil delivery likely hasn't arrived.

The connections look fine to me, it's just that the oil plant's all out of gubbins. Sometimes it takes a while for the harbor to decide to send a train for some reason but as long as there's oil in the harbor and a rail connection from the harbor to the oil plant it will go eventually. Oh and also if anyone else is wondering if you can use the ubi store promo code from redeeming 100 units to get 20% off the season 2 pass, I just did that and it worked fine.

I set a victory condition of 1 investor and Wibbly beat me Don’t set victory conditions, they’re either so close you can rush to them without building out much or they’re so far away that you’ll naturally lose interest in a save before you hit them. Once you have things unlocked and are bulking up your cities for income and such, it really does become much more of a chill factory-and-city-garden builder. It’s why playing with 0 territory-claiming AIs has turned out to be my jam.

Also as far as I can tell that 5 mins is locked in even if you increase regular productivity. So you can have Trade Union boosts and still only need 1 per five mins.

Modern silos can be used to generate electricity through grain fermenting/composting -> heat -> electricity so its possible they blew up back then?

They can explode because the grain dust becomes aerosolized, which makes it extremely flammable. Add that to the enclosed spaces of a silo, and you've got a bomb. I've built three silos so far in one play session, and all three have exploded despite a firehouse right next to them.

Being able to click a product on the production screen and see exactly what it's being used for in a handy little window would be a huge timesaver. You'd be able to see exactly what buildings are using it (and how much) on the island, and how much is being sent off on ships, and their destinations. The destination islands could then differentiate between product produced in situ and product delivered from other islands, it'd make keeping tabs on everything so much easier.

Darkhold posted:I think you're reading that wrong. It's 1 grain per 5 minutes for pig farms/Beef/sheep Farms. Same for fuel for tractors though it takes 15 seconds to turn one barrel of oil into 1 fuel. Really? I didn't get much time playing with them but it looked like it was 1:1 silo to farm with no other modifiers on the production screen. Oxyclean posted:...are silos know to explode? I understand the booze exploding, and I guess some of the heavy manufacturing. Yup, As Bloody Hedgehog mentioned grain silos have a nasty habit of becoming a primitive fuel-air bombs in real life when they're being loaded or unloaded. All it takes is a spark. I'm actually surprised the Anno crew represented it here. They also have a nasty habit of devouring workers quick-sand style IRL.

Yes it's one silo per farm, but the silo does not consume wheat every time the farm production cycle finishes. It has its own separate 5 minute timer that only consumes one wheat. As long as it gets one wheat per 5 minutes the farm is boosted by 100%

Is there anyway to reduce chances of explosion outside of having a fire dept in range and space your poo poo out more (lol can't do that)? I don't recall ever seeing an item that reduces explosion changes, just increases it.

Edit: It sounds like it only needs 1 wheat to activate the 5 minute timer but the cart will grab up to 5 wheat at a time to keep it balanced with 1 silo : 1 wheat farm at 100%.

It boosts that farm's production by 100%. It only consumes one wheat every 5 minutes, but it holds a buffer of 5 wheat which would last 25 minutes. You can run 5 silos on 5 different animal farms all boosting their respective farms by 100% off of one wheat farm running at normal capacity. e: I think this is what you were saying, I'm just restating it.

Nah what I'm saying is that the farm silo burns anywhere from 0.2 wheat/minute to 1 wheat/minute. I'm just trying to reconcile what I saw with the production screen the other day when I could play with what everyone said. Obviously this spitballing and I can't test this (I have to head to work in about half an hour: not a good time to load up Anno) so my logic might be (and likely is) horribly wrong. Basically what I'm saying is that I noticed on the production screen and in my goods that 1 wheat farm (1 wheat/minute) was equal to one animal feed silo. What everyone else is saying is they run on a 5 minute timer and only need 1 wheat to kickstart it, which is a consumption of 1/5th or 0.2 a wheat/minute. What this says to me is that the grain silo's cart will load up with 5 wheat if it can but will be just happy with 1-4. So basically it looks like this: code:Again this is just how I'm reading it from what I saw and descriptions of other people. I won't really be able to dig in and play until tomorrow afternoon. In a way it makes sense: the game has 1,001 ways shipments can be delayed (transit time for the cart binging in the wheat from the farm, transit time for cart heading to/from warehouse, transit time of the ship carrying wheat dealing with variable winds, carts waiting for slots at the warehouse to load/unload) and they wouldn't want to punish the player for having a system that's overly finicky. By doing this they build a buffer in and keep the players from going crazy in case the cart could only pick up 2-3 wheat instead of the 5 needed.

The silo just burns one wheat per 5 minutes. It's not a variable rate. The production screen will reflect that once it's given time to update.

I mean, they half the required number of pig farms; awkward when your industrial hell island doesn’t have wheat fertility, but if I’m going to start shipping grain around, that also lets me replace shipping Bread to the same island and just bake it there, not to mention if it’s also the Hops island I can just move all brewing over and replace Hops with Beer ~ Glad I started a pretty fresh zero-opponent run before this, going to really sink my teeth into painstaking optimization of my initial Old World Artisans population and then arrange to ship the surplus of everything to Crown Falls before I do too much work over there. I’m going to shoot for absolute minimum non-residential-or-farm land there, I think, and work out how to actually build services into places.

Has anyone else encountered a bug when buying/selling at trading posts? I bought 100 soap from an NPC and only ended up with a single full hold (50), and another time I bought 150 timber and again ended up with only a single full hold. Pretty sure I paid for the missing items, too.

I'm not sure how I feel about the DLC. I stopped playing at the arctic when I realized how much of a hassle optimizing the frozen north is for the little payoff. Although airships are really sweet... But I didn't do much with the palace and it feels like all this expansion is is me having to re-organize and optimize farms that I already had built. Like I might as well start over. But then I can't get my sweet 42069 seed because they changed seed generation, so it's a crapshoot. I dunno... Maybe I will get back into it a lot when they release the Land of Lions DLC. Maybe.

Two things this game needs to be perfect. Let me upgrade all the dirt roads in my city to brick by holding down shift (couldn't we do this in Anno 1404?) Give me a starting conditions option to enable all tiers of buildings from the start so I can put down the blueprints to plan out all of my island from the beginning instead of having to remember and change around stuff by the time I get Engineers.

Is there any way to get an early tipoff when you need to increase supply of a certain good? I know you can look at production capacity and see what you're producing vs what the demand is, but it'd be nice to have some sort of an early warning that demand is getting close to outstripping supply. I just hate being elsewhere on the map or in another region, only to suddenly find out you're not making enough of a good, which means people start moving out, and then other goods start dropping off from lack of workers, and it just starts to snowball. All that could be avoided if it would just tell you "Hey, time to start making some more clothes" or whatever. Also, is there an info panel or something that can show where citizens are being assigned or why they rise and fall? Occasionally I've have lots of citizens, all needs provided for and no unique projects being worked on, an then instantly I'm in the negative for available citizens versus jobs, and then a few minutes later it returns to normal. Did half the city just decide to move out for a few hours, and then though better of it and came back? Bloody Hedgehog fucked around with this message at 02:57 on Jun 7, 2020 |

All that could be avoided if it would just tell you "Hey, time to start making some more clothes" or whatever. In general the production and demand bars should give you an idea of when you're close to going over or whatever. Like, say you're producing 3/3 clothes and have a demand of 2/2, and place down a few residents, you'll see the bar change without necessarily going to 3/3. In turn, you should be able to eyeball the bars to see when you're just about to go over your production as well. (A frequent mistake I made early on was not checking the worker demand for a new building before putting it down, which would cause a snowball as you described.) For citizen flux: Do you have goods coming by ship? Maybe the supply isn't steady enough so your losing demand for a period? You're not building ships, are you? I (think) that has worker requirements? (That or I attributed it my own worker flux.) Maybe other things might be effecting it like newspaper buffs, disasters, or events?

No goods coming in by ship, I could understand if I was relying on NPC's to provide goods that supply might drop off leading to citizens being dissatisfied. No ships being built either. The ships thing is another thing annoys me. There is a need for citizens on ship projects, I just wish it spelled it out more clearly what types of citizens are needed, especially since it doesn't seem to be a steady amount. Starting a ship will drain workers, but then it seems to free some up about two thirds of the way through, and then starts demanding farmers? It's just very unclear.
