Layouts allow the player to better use the space available, maximizing the producing capacity of each region
These pages give examples of efficient layouts for houses and production facilities so that the use of distance-based buildings such as the Logistics and Public Buldings is efficient and space is conserved. Having efficient production layouts is important because it allows you to maximize the producing capacity of the space available to you. Using efficient layouts will result in a stronger economy and more time to pursue other objectives.
Easy Layout and still has decent space-efficiency.
City Layout I
This city layout is an perfect example of how you can fit an Infodrome into your starting city.The further away a house is from a public building, the more of its supply it will consume. So place your public buildings centrally so as to extend their reach in all directions.
City Layout II
This city layout is an perfect example of how you can fit an Infodrome into your starting city.The further away a house is from a public building, the more of its supply it will consume. So place your public buildings centrally so as to extend their reach in all directions.
City Layout III
City Layout IV
This city layout is an modification of the previous "City Layout III" maximizing the public buildings range and the space used for housing. There are only 14 unused squares with ornaments. The layout (53x87) consist on:
22 Residence
84 Residential Complex
3 Infodrome
2 Security Department
1 Metro Station
1 Stadium
Special thanks go out to arbogli for providing this layout
City Layout V
This city layout is an conceptual example of an big city. There are ± 486 unused squares with ornaments (orange & bright green). The layout (176x157) consist on:
489/518/525 (±) Residence
294 Residential Complex
20 Infodrome
14 Security Department
6 Metro Station
4 Stadium
Bounding Box: 176x157 (27632 Tiles)
Space efficiency: 83%
Min. Area: 22982 Tiles
Created in Anno Designer
Corporation HQ Housing Layouts[]
HQ Layout I
Late game city block, expensive but fulfills all service needs. Modular design, can be build in a large grid of identical city blocks.
6 Corporation modules represented by ornaments. Stock Trade Floor represented by a block of ornaments.
Service Layouts[]
Service Layout I
Service layout consisting of the following buildings:
1 Stadium
1 Metro Station
2 Security Departments
2 Infrodomes
4 Residential Complexes
30 Residences
Service Layout II
Another service layout consisting of the following buildings:
1 Stadium
1 Metro Station
2 Security Departments
2 Infrodomes
3 Residential Complexes
2 Residences
Service Layout III
Yet another layout consisting of the following buildings:
1 Stadium
1 Metro Station
2 Security departments
2 infrodomes
At least 34 Residential Complexes surrounding it
You should continue the 2x4 layout (2 wide, 4 high) for optimal coverage.
You can repeat this layout roughly every 3 rows (about 6 housing complexes or 3 grids should be between the start and end if you repeat the layout).
Fill the unused space with trees or other decorations.
Production Layouts[]
Anti-Gravity Compensators I
Included Transportation Center and shields for space efficiency, only 6 logistic is lost from the second transportation center.
Repeating the layout is not efficient transport wise
Rejuvenators I
The placement of 1 Biomedical Laboratory with the following modules:
6 Reaction Pods.
3 Drone Hives
2 Accumulator Units
Empty spaces have been filled up with the following ornaments:
4 Small Parking Lots
4 Medium Parking Lots
Rejuvenators II
Updated Rejuvenators layout as provided by user Rootmenu.
Rejuvenators III
4 Fully moduled Biomedical Laboratories
This rejuvenators layout consists of the following buildings:
4 Biomedical Laboratories
24 Reaction Pods (6 per lab)
20 Accumulator Unis (5 per lab) ; or any other modules of course
2 Transportation Centers that can be traded for ornaments if not needed
There are apparently only 14 unused squares in this 44*24 box but let's be honest, the 2 Transportation Centers may not be useful and some roads are clearly unnecessary so the 99.9% efficiency is not real.
Optimal input is 64 * 4 = 256 Synthcells for the 256 Rejuvenators output.
Rejuvenators IV
This layout consists of the following buildings:
2 Biomedical Laboratories
3 Synthell Incubator
13 modules
This layout doesn't have a road all over it, be careful with that. Also it have a small surplus of Synthcells.
Vitamin Drinks
Vitamin Drinks layout consisting of the following buildings:
4 Vitamin Condensers
24 Fruit Presses
32 Accumulator Units
8 Storage Depots
4 Fruit Plantations
16 Fruit Orchards
8 Small Parking Lots
Note:
The modules and ornaments can be traded out with any of your liking.
Special thanks go out to MrMarx for providing this layout
Vitamin Drinks II
Very simple layout that can be repeated infinitely.
Wine I
Simple layout to set up 3 Wine Vineyards with 4 Vineyard Terraces each.
Layout consists of the following buildings:
3 Vineyards
12 Vineyard Terraces
Wine II
Another layout for Wine. This time a total of 10 Wine Vineyard are squeezed together.
Layout consists of the following buildings:
10 Vineyards
40 Vineyard Terraces
Biopolymer
Cattle Ranch
A squared layout for Beef production. Layout can be duplicated as your city grows so all your production stays grouped together.
Logistics and Public Buldings is efficient and space is conserved. Having efficient production layouts is important because it allows you to maximize the producing capacity of the space available to you. Using efficient layouts will result in a stronger economy and more time to pursue other objectives.
