Your Temperate islands never experience floods, fires, or tornadoes again. Production efficiency stays at 100% 24/7.
Each module generates heat. If the station temperature exceeds 39°C, module efficiency drops. Therefore, spacing is crucial.
Every module requires a specific amount of heat to function. Anno 2205 Orbital Station Layout
Extend trusses out from both the left and right docking ports of the Command Hub, creating a "T" or "H" shape.
Easy to expand; low risk of cutting off vital systems. Cons: Hard to maximize high-tier synergy bonuses later on. Your Temperate islands never experience floods, fires, or
Only build the 12 required workshops but ignore some of the complex ground trade routes. Result: 960 Expertise. You will only unlock the essential "5,4,3" tech paths. Best for: Players who want the core economic upgrades without committing to the full grind of building massive Lunar colonies to supply orbital goods. This still provides a massive boost to your cities on the ground.
Place all heavy heat-producing modules (like Energy and Heavy Industry) on the outer ring. Put low-heat modules (like Biotech) on the inner ring. Interleave high-efficiency radiators at every corner junction. If the station temperature exceeds 39°C, module efficiency
Modules must be connected to the central workshop directly or via other modules. A module placed "behind" another and not connected to the grid will not function.
To unlock the highest-tier global bonuses, you need massive amounts of specific Expertise. The Cluster Layout abandons general efficiency in favor of extreme specialization.
I can provide a tailored blueprint or mathematical breakdown to solve your specific layout bottleneck.
