Production Chains Calculator for Anno 117 | Calculator for all goods chains

Anno 117 Goods Calculator: Calculate production chains easily

Introduction

The goods calculator for Anno 117: Pax Romana helps you plan optimised production chains in Latium, Albion and other regions without having to do the maths yourself. Because, as in the previous Anno games, the buildings in Anno 117: Pax Romana have different processing timesEspecially with more complex supply chains, it can quickly become tedious to constantly calculate how many buildings you need to keep the supply chain running efficiently.

With this planner, however, you see at a glance how many buildings each production step of a chain needs so that everything is fully utilised, which goods you get per minute and what construction and upkeep cost. All chains are sorted by civilisation level, from infrastructure to the refined needs of the highest population groups. With this calculator you can instantly see the optimal number of buildings for all production chains. You can also Productivity of each building manually, so you can adapt the chain to your individual requirements (e.g. aqueduct, religious bonuses or specialists). And if you only need a certain number of one particular building, you can easily type that in too and immediately get the optimal configuration for all other buildings in the supply chain.

How it works

How the goods calculator works

Each goods chain consists of several buildings, for example a raw material producer and a processor. The calculator takes the production time of each building and works out the matching ratio from it. If you enter a desired number for one building, the rest of the chain is recalculated automatically. If you change the efficiency, production times, numbers and yield adapt immediately.

The goods calculator has two views: The Simple view shows only time, number and efficiency per building. You can simply type in the number of buildings and the individual productivities manually. Clicking the building icon also opens a list of all effects that increase the building's productivity.

In the complex view you can still set the desired number of buildings, but you now choose productivity by activating the bonuses available in the game (specialists, research, religious bonuses). These are now listed specifically for each building and can be switched on and off.

Bonus overview

Productivity bonuses in the calculator

In the complex view you can activate all effects that are linked to a building in the database:

• Specialists: up to three per building; for specialists with a legendary bonus you can choose between the normal and the legendary bonus. How to unlock it can be found in my Unlock Legendary Bonuses database.
• Research: There are also various discoveries that increase the productivity of certain buildings. Some of them are even repeatable research that you can upgrade multiple times.
• Religious bonuses: Many local worship effects increase the productivity of buildings, but also of entire production chains. The more belief you generate on an island, the stronger this effect becomes. There are 15 levels in total, which can be set with a slider in the complex view.
• Silo and aqueduct: These are optional extensions that additionally increase a building's production. Production bonuses are added to the base production, but connecting to a cistern raises the base production to 150%, so that all other bonuses become even stronger.
• Costs: Below each chain you will also find the sum of construction costs and upkeep, each for the number of buildings you actually have to build. An additional tooltip breaks down the costs per building and gives the total. The yield per minute is shown right at the respective building. This way you can always see immediately what investment building a goods chain requires.

How many buildings are enough?

How many buildings do I need? When is demand met?

This calculator does not show how many residents of a civilisation level are supplied by a production chain. However, you can find this out in the game itself in no time. Click your portrait at the top centre to open the statistics menu. There you will find an overview of produced goods (upper bar) and demanded goods (lower bar). If the upper bar is higher than the lower one, you are producing enough and there will be no bottlenecks. Note that this way you can check all buildings of a goods chain. You may have enough bakeries, for example, but too few mills, so the bottleneck is there.

If your goods chains span several islands, you can combine the production of several islands in the left menu and so compare better whether enough is being produced.
