Description
The Fishery in Anno 1800 is one of the first important buildings you’ll use in. To begin with, it’s a standalone building that must be placed in the harbour area of your island. Once built, the Fishery produces one ton of fish every 30 seconds, which means two tons per minute.
What is produced
The Fishery in Anno 1800 produces fish, which are a basic need for both Farmers and Workers in Anno 1800. In terms of supply, one Fishery can support 80 Farmer residences or 40 Worker residences.
Additionally, fish can be taken on expeditions as extra rations. For every 50 tons you bring, you gain 15 bonus morale, making them a useful and lightweight morale boost.
Improvements
In this section, we’ll look at the different ways you can improve your Fishery in Anno 1800. To begin with, we’ll focus on the placement of each fishery to make sure it operates efficiently. After that, we’ll explore how the Trade union and the Harbourmasters office can boost your Fisheries by equipping useful items.
Placement
When placing your Fishery in Anno 1800, it’s important to plan carefully, because you’ll need quite a few of them as your city grows. At the start of the game, it’s easiest to place them directly along the coastline. However, this approach quickly uses up a large amount of shoreline.
To avoid this, try to find a large harbour area and place your Fisheries so they extend out into the ocean instead. This keeps your coastline free for other buildings while still giving you plenty of space for production.
Now, let’s take a look at an effective layout for your Fishery in Anno 1800.
This is the simplest way to place your Fishery in Anno 1800. In this layout, the Fishery is connected directly to the Trading Post. Because of this, it becomes the most efficient setup for managing a single Fishery in Anno 1800.
Trade union
First we will look at some of the items that can be placed into the Trade union building.
| Item name | Effect | Rarity/notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fisherman’s Tools | +25% Productivity, -10% Maintenance Cost | Uncommon |
| Net Maker | +40% Productivity, Chance of producing additional Fish | Rare |
| Master Net Weaver | +50% Productivity, -20% Maintenance Cost , +10% Workforce needed | Epic |
| Captain Fishbones | +60% Productivity | Legendary |
Harbourmasters office
Since the Fishery is placed in the harbour, it can also benefit from items added to the Harbourmaster’s Office. By equipping the right items, you can boost its efficiency and improve your overall fish production.
These are some of the items that can effect the Fishery in Anno 1800.
| Item name | Effect | Rarity/notes |
|---|---|---|
| Angler | +10% Productivity | Common Expedition bonus – +10 Hunting |
| Line fisherman | -75% Maintenance Cost | Uncommon |
| Veteran whaler | +25% Productivity, Extra Goods: 1/5 chance of producing Tallow | Rare |
| Daring scuba diver | +30% Productivity, Extra Goods: 1/5 chance of producing Fish Oil | Rare |
| Mother of pearls | +40% Productivity, Extra Goods: 1/4 chance of producing Tallow | Epic |
| Captain Moby, old dog of the sea | +50% Productivity, Extra Goods: 1/5 chance of producing Tallow, 1/7 chance of producing Gold | Legendary |
Layouts
In this section, we’ll look at some optimal layouts for your Fishery in Anno 1800. When planning these layouts, it’s important to leave enough open water for the boats to move and fish efficiently. With that in mind, let’s take a look at a few effective Fishery layouts.
Option 1
In this layout, we’ll place the Fisheries along the coastline. By doing this, each Fishery has quick and easy access to the Trading Post, which helps keep your production running efficiently.
Here, you can see this layout in action. It works well for collecting fish efficiently. However, the main drawback is that it uses a large amount of coastline, which can limit your space for other harbour buildings later on.
Option 2
Now, let’s look at a different layout for your Fishery in Anno 1800. In this design, you’ll build a road from the coastline out into the harbour. By doing this, you can make far better use of both your harbour space and your coastline. Keep in mind, the distance from the Trading Post will depend on the size of your harbour area.
Here, you can see this layout in action. As you’ll notice, it makes much better use of the space available, allowing you to add more Fisheries in an efficient way. In addition, this layout includes the Harbourmaster’s Office, so you can equip items that boost your Fishery output. Overall, using this design frees up more coastline for other buildings that depend on shoreline access.
