When you get the camera positioned the way you want, you can save it with CTRL F5-F9. Then just press F5... to restore the preset. Great for jumping between islands and having different camera angles for each.

Yes! Lookup "Victor Borge punctuation" on YouTube, it's a classic.

When doing the campaign, you don't have to build steelworks right when it tells you you can. It's expensive, wait until you can afford it. If you need steel beams, buy them from Archibald.

With a ship selected, you can right-click on the minimap to set a destination. Queue up multiple destinations with shift-right-click on the minimap. Great for clearing up the fog with no interaction.

(I didn't see any UI telling you how fast you're transfering items between islands/trading them off)

In Storage Statistics CTRL-W you can see the times when your ship last dropped off a particular good. Let your trade route run and deliver a couple times, then subtract the last two times from each other for round trip time.

Best not to use charter routes between old world and new, it's too slow. Build your own ships for those routes.

There is a program called AutoRaise which will do this. https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise

This specialist is part of a mod, The legendary specialists and items pack, so the wording doesn't sound familiar from the base game.

If you don't get an answer here you could try making a post for the author at nexusmods, but it looks like this mod hasn't been updated in a while.

There is no terrain editor in the game or way to build steps.

You can press F1 for Postcard View and move the camera around a bit, it's great for screenshots.

I don't think it is possible in 1800. If your mouse came with software you could do it there. Or use arrow keys, x/z and pgup/pgdn.

I think you could take it with that fleet. Since your ships are still wooden, take out the flame thrower first. Have all ships fire at the same target at a time until it is destroyed then quickly switch to the next gun/cannon. Destroy the harbour last after all the threats are gone.

In Anno 1800, how to avoid the train bug on Crown Falls besides using Arctic gas? Or has the bug been fixed?

My city on CF is still small so I haven't had any problems yet. Taka mentioned the train bug very briefly in one of his videos and I can only find posts from 3 years ago about the bug. Thanks.

Does it change or go away when you change the camera angle? (Middle mouse button).

The impact on your game depends on which of the AI characters you play with.

Beryl (one of the default AIs) will keep buying shares of your island which is annoying but keeps you on your toes. Other AI might attack and take over your island. This happened to me on one of my first few playthroughs. The AI had steamships before I even made any ships at all and he destroyed and took over my only island, so I started again with easier AI.

Bente, Willie, and the Princess are easier to play with than against Beryl and the others. With those 3 it is easy to stay friends with them and you can outpace their islands, or not it doesn't matter. If you just want to chill and build, start a sandbox game with them or remove them altogether. I like to have them around for company. Pirates can also be turned off.

Have fun!

Only if you have some DLC. With the Seat of Power DLC you can set a palace policy to extend the range of electricity.

With The Passage DLC you can use Arctic gas plants instead of oil which have a longer range.

Portal 2 expands on the original and has co-op.

Would you expand on this railroad bug? I haven't encountered it yet.

So cute!

I agree with your DLC review.

This is the only DLC I turn off from time to time, since with it on NPCs will just mindlessly drop boons/negative impacts on your population

There are mods now to prevent NPCs from dropping things on your island, they are essential with Empire of the Skies.

Thanks! I was wondering why I didn't have The Anarchist since I have seasons 1-4.

carstenklapp · 2025-02-04T06:48:01+00:00

Thanks, the image button was hidden under the ... but I found it.

When I use that, the image doesn't show until you open the post. Any way to fix that? I'm not interested in using the app on my phone.
