Anno 2070 production, energy and eco balance
Keep the industrial network running while managing its environmental effects.
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 power as an island constraint
Production and services need enough energy. A cash surplus does not compensate for an energy deficit, so check the island's power balance whenever a large new factory or public building opens.
| Balance | Meaning | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Credits | Income versus maintenance | Overbuilding before tax income grows |
| Energy | Generation versus consumption | Adding production without more power |
| Eco balance | Environmental condition of an island | Ignoring industrial effects |
| Goods stock | Production and imports versus use | Judging supply immediately after a delivery |
Place wind generation with room
Eco wind power relies on suitable placement and spacing. Inspect the efficiency shown in the construction preview instead of crowding generators together simply because the empty strip is convenient.
| Symptom | Inspect | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No output | Power and raw inputs | Restore the missing requirement |
| Full output storage | Collection and island storage | Improve logistics or move goods |
| Farm underperforms | Fertility, fields and environment | Correct the site conditions |
| Power plant underperforms | Placement or fuel where required | Restore efficient generation |
Track the eco balance
Pollution and environmental buildings change an island's eco balance, which affects the world and its inhabitants. Check the indicator after industrial expansion and plan corrective infrastructure where needed.
Solve the bottleneck before expanding
A halted chain may lack raw materials, power, collection or storage space. Inspect the idle building's actual state before adding another copy that shares the same unresolved problem.
