How does it actually work with that? electricity in Anno 1800? What do you need to build a power plant and how do you get the power lines to the houses and other production buildings to supply them with electricity? With the arrival of engineers, electricity comes into play and is not only necessary for various production buildings, but also for population levels investors to unlock. Some players may feel the same way as we do and ask themselves, how exactly does electricity work?
Anno 1800 Electricity: Produce electricity and supply buildings
The electricity or electricity is generated by a power plant. In order to get the power plant up and running and produce electricity, it must be supplied with oil.
- So the first thing you need is one Oil refinery and some Drilling rigsto talk about this to extract oil. The drilling rigs can be placed on the oil wells that are located on the island.
- The Oil refinery then have to with one Oil port where the oil is stored. The connection is not via a conventional road but via railway tracks. Once you have built both buildings, you have to connect them to the railway tracks.
- If the oil is produced and the oil transport between the refinery and the port works, then you can Build a power plant. The power plant burns the oil and supplies electricity to the surrounding factories and other buildings. The power plant must be placed on a railway track so that it can be supplied with oil. If you build the power plant on the rail, a switch is automatically inserted so that the railway can deliver the oil.
- Now that the power plant is supplied with oil and electricity is produced, the question still arises as to how this can actually be done Build power lines? The power lines are built automatically in Anno 1800 across the roads connected to the power plant. The range of electricity pylons and power lines is limited, so the power plant should be built close to the facilities where the electricity is needed.
That was our short electricity guide for Anno 1800. If you have any questions or additions, just post a comment under this article.
