Anno 2070 Eco and Tycoon beginner settlement guide
Build the right starting economy for the faction you selected.
Edition covered
Original Anno 2070 economy and factions. Deep Ocean's Genius tier and expansion-specific production are excluded. Online features and service availability are not assumed from the original manual.
Read the faction's actual needs
Eco and Tycoon residents do not use an identical list of goods. Select a residence and build toward its displayed needs, rather than copying a production chain from the other faction.
| Check | Purpose | Response |
|---|---|---|
| Residence needs | Identify faction-specific demand | Build the correct goods and services |
| Building materials | Keep construction possible | Reserve stock on the active island |
| Energy balance | Keep production operating | Add suitable generation |
| Credit balance | Pay ongoing maintenance | Grow supported population and avoid excess factories |
Create construction materials first
Building Modules and later materials support expansion. Keep the producing chain working and retain a local reserve before shipping supplies to a second island.
| Area | Ecos | Tycoons |
|---|---|---|
| Organization | Eden Initiative | Global Trust |
| Development style | Environmentally oriented | Industrial efficiency |
| Consumer chains | Eco-specific needs | Tycoon-specific needs |
| Power planning | Eco generation options | Tycoon generation options |
| Shared constraint | Logistics, credits and space | Logistics, credits and space |
Connect roads and collection
Production buildings need a working logistics network to move inputs and output. Inspect storage and road access when a factory is idle even though the island appears to have the raw resource.
Watch the running balance
New factories consume maintenance and power before the city necessarily earns enough to support them. Expand one missing need at a time and inspect tax income after houses develop.
