If you have a depot/reciever touching a tile of road that also touches where they're picking up from, you'll see a transport appear, turn around on the spot, fill up and disappear.

So following along this game, noticed that this is very similar to Dawn of Discovery which I played not too long ago. How connected is that game to the Anno series? Because as far as I can tell they're drat near identical other than the time period.

Dawn of Discovery is how Anno 1.404 was called in North America, so pretty connected.

Cythereal posted:Ah, makes sense. When you have a production building selected, one of the things you can do is command the nearest depot to put down what you're doing and empty this thing right now, and they send a vtol truck for that in case there's no road connecting them.

Psychorider posted:edit: woah that post was not showing up, well beaten  Yeah, it took a while to show up. Don't know why. Also, add another one to the sperg pile. IIRC, you keep the isle for the entire tutorial, so building inefficiencies pile up as you go on. I don't know why, but this game is the only one that has me worried about building things perfectly.

Mzbundifund posted:TyrantSabre are you planning to beat Power Games? I think I might need to tag in some helpers on that one. When it comes to the economic and growth goals, I'm pretty solid (although I've outed myself as pretty inefficient sometimes  ). On the RTS side... Not so much.Guilty as charged! Everything would have been fine if I'd moved the Depot back one tile, to allow the road to run through and connect everything together. It was uncharacteristically lazy of me to do it that way and we can see why it didn't work well. Kids, don't try this at home! (Just wait until we have to start transport chains. )

Also, this feels more restful than Tropico. More peaceful than 99% of my steam library, actually. I'm digging the story and style of this LP, yo. I just caught up and demand more!

I tried reinstalling this game on my windows 8.1 machine because of the LP, and had a hell of a time with it. The steam install tried to download an obsolete version of UPlay, one that prevents the game from even running.. You've got to download UPlay first directly from the Ubisoft website. Then you need find UPlay.exe and run it as an administrator. Then you need to find your game exe and run that as administrator, as well. This is what I did to get the game to at least run (there might be other problems). Any other suggestions are welcome.

Samovar posted:I'm sure having those crops growing next to a coal refinery will have absolutely no health ramifications on the alcohol produced! Eh, we're distilling it anyway. Just be a little more careful with the fractionation column and you'll be fine. In seriousness, though, the coal refinery does have an impact on the crops. It's a blink-and-you'll miss it moment, but when TyrantSabre selects the distillery building you'll see a little test tube with a red background above it in the interface. That means negative ecobalance is having an effect on how much it produces -- the effect is called "acid soil". However, it is a general trait of the Tycoons that their population and production buildings aren't very negatively affected by pollution, assuming it bothers them at all.

I for one am glad that Mr. Thor and his middle-management-excuses-ways got what he deserved. It was rather refreshing. Looking forward to more of this LP, Anno seems like an interesting take on city building so far (with the other parts to come naturally.)

Glazius posted:However, it is a general trait of the Tycoons that their population and production buildings aren't very negatively affected by pollution, assuming it bothers them at all. Pretty much. Tycoon farms shrug off all but the worst environmental disasters. You have to reduce your island to an industrial hellscape for either farms or citizens to notice (ecobalance affects tax income too, if your dudes live on a tropical paradise they pay more.) I'd go into the ecobalance system some more, but I really don't want to make a giant effort-post about a mechanic before Tyrantsabre even brings it up. EponymousMrYar posted:I for one am glad that Mr. Thor and his middle-management-excuses-ways got what he deserved. It was rather refreshing. Yeah despite what the game's premise really wants you to think, the Tycoons and their management aren't complete assholes. Alkydere fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Jul 19, 2015 |

By definition, I can't make non-Euclidean road hash, since all roads in Anno 2070 connect at right angles. But I'm sure I'll find a way to gently caress it all up!Jokes aside, I'll fess up to using pre-designed production layouts under normal circumstances, but I will do my best not to gently caress up when fulfilling the mission build requirements. I mean, at least you can pop some popcorn and watch the train wreck? v v
