Description

This is the Cannery, this building is used in the Canned Food production chain. This building sits at the end of the Canned Food production chain. The Cannery will require Raw Iron along with Goulash. It will then process these in to Canned Food. The production rate for the Cannery is 90 seconds to produce one ton of Canned Food in Anno 1800. This is an odd value to work with so it is important for you to look at production chain plans for the Canned Food production chain.

What is produced

This is Canned food in Anno 1800. It is produced in the Cannery as part of the Canned Food production chain. Canned Food in Anno 1800 is a basic need for both Artisans and Engineers. Lets now have a look at how many of each class of citizens one ton of Canned food can supply. For Artisans one ton of food can supply 390 residences or 11700 individual Artisans. When we look at Engineers one ton of Canned Food cam provide for 195 residences or 7800 Engineers every minute. When taking Canned Food on expeditions it is used as extra rations as well as 40 bonus morale points per 50 tons taken.

Improvements

When looking at the improvements for the Cannery it is important that it is placed correctly. The Canned Food production chain is a very expensive chain to run and so it is imperative that the placement is dealt with in an efficient manner. This is the first thing that we will look at. The second thing we will look at is that we can add items to a Trade Union. This is a building that when items are added to it, it will influence all buildings in its area. The final thing that we will look at is supplying the Cannery with Electricity and its affect on production.

Placement

Here we will look at what options we have for placing the Cannery down. When looking at the placement of the Cannery you will need to place it either on an island with Artisans or an island with access to them.

As we can see here the Cannery is placed next to a Warehouse and a Artisanal Kitchen. This will ensure that it has a good supply of both Raw Iron and Goulash.

Trade Union

In this section we will look at items that we can add to the Trade Union to improve the productivity and efficiency of the Cannery. Lets take a look at these items now.

These are some of the best items to improve the production of Canned Food in Anno 1800.

Electricity

When you get to Engineer level you will have the option to add Electricity to your factories. When you supply the Cannery with Electricity this will double the output. You must remember that when you double the output of the Cannery you will also need to increase its the input of Beef and Peppers.

Layouts

In this section we will look at layouts that can benefit the Cannery. The Cannery is at the end of the production chain for Canned Food in Anno 1800. When we look at the layout for the Cannery we will need to ensure that we have all of the previous buildings in the chain connected.

Option 1

In this layout we will place the Cannery in a very simple production chain. We will assume that all of the fertility for the Red Pepper farm is available.

Simple layout of Canned food production chain

This is a simple layout for the Canned Food production chain. This production chain will produce two tons of Canned Food per minute.

Option 2

Here we can see the layout that we will need if we wish to double the output. Be aware that this layout will take up a lot of space on any individual island. This is where we will be placing double the amount of buildings.

Complex layout of Canned food production chain

This layout will produce four tons of canned food every minute.
