Description

This is the Cattle Farm it is a core building in the Canned food production chain. The Cattle Farm along with the Red Pepper Farm sit at the start of the Canned food production chain and also the Tortillas production chain. This building will be producing Beef at the rate of one ton every two minutes or half a ton per minute in the Old World.

In the New World this production will increase to one ton every minute. In the New World you will also be able to place down more pastures than in the Old World. Beef in Anno 1800 is used in a couple of production chains these are the Canned Food production chain and the Tortillas production chain.

Improvements

In this section we will look at the improvements that can be added to the Cattle Farm. One of the first things that we will look at is the placement of the Cattle Farm. Their are a couple of placements that we can do to improve the Cattle Farm which will be explained below. The next thing that we can do is to place it in the influence range of a Trade Union.

Placement

This is a good way to place your Cattle Farms down for the production of Beef. Here we can see two farms placed down that can supply your other buildings.

These Cattle Farms can be easily copied and moved to a new location when you need to increase you r production.

Trade Union

Here we will be looking at the items that can be added to the Trade Union to increase the productivity and efficiency of the Cattle Farm. These items for the Trade Union can be got from many places that include the Research institute, traders, expeditions, quests and world events along with loot from defeated ships.

Layouts

In this section we will look at some of the layouts that are available for the Cattle Farm. One of the main reasons for dealing with layouts is that at a later stage in the game you can easily copy them and move them to new places.

Option 1

In this layout we will be placing down the Cattle farm along with the Warehouse. This will be a streamlined production of the Cattle Farm producing Beef in Anno 1800 and then goes straight into your inventory.

In the Old World this layout will produce one ton of beef every 120 seconds or half a ton a minute. When you build this is the New World it will produce one ton of Beef every minute. In the New World you will be able to place down more pastures for the Cattle Farm

Option 2

In this layout we will be showing a layout for four Cattle Farms and then we will also place a Warehouse so that the Beef can be transferred into your inventory quicker.

This layout will produce two tons every minute. As we can see from the layout we have four Cattle farms and each one produce one ton every two minutes. When you build this in the New World this output will double.

Option 3

In this section we will be using the same amount of farms as the layout above. The main difference is that we will be utilising a Trade Union to improve the productivity of the Cattle Farms.

Here we see a very similar layout to the option 2. We can see here that we are using a Trade Union that is placed in the centre of the layout so that all of the Cattle Farms are in its influence range.
