Description
This is the Sawmill in Anno 1800 and it is used for converting wood into timber. The sawmill sits at the end of the timber production chain. The Sawmill will receive wood from the Lumberjacks Hut and convert that into timber. The Sawmill in Anno 1800 will produce one ton of timber from one ton of wood every 15 seconds. To achieve this rate you must ensure that you supply the Sawmill with one ton of wood every 15 seconds.
What is produced
The Sawmill in Anno 1800 will turn wood into timber. Timber is a core building material that will be required all the way through your journey in Anno 1800. Timber is a good item to take on expeditions it will give 20 bonus crafting skill and 50 morale points for every 50 tons taken.
Improvement
In this section we will look at what we can do to improve the Sawmill in Anno 1800. When dealing with the Sawmill you can look at the placement along with the Trade union items that can increase its productivity. Also we can look at what items are available in the Trade union. Also electricity can be added to the Sawmill in Anno 1800.
Placement
When looking at the placement of the Sawmill in Anno 1800 it is imperative that it is placed in close proximity to the Lumberjacks hut. If you place along with a Warehouse then you will have a good timber production chain. Lets have a look at a layout for this now.
Here we can see that the Sawmill is placed simply between the Lumberjacks hut and very close to the Warehouse. This will mean that the wood is processed quickly with the timber moving into the Warehouse to use quicker.
Trade union
When looking at improving production buildings in Anno 1800 we need to look at the Trade union. The Trade union is a building that you can place items into and this will increase the productivity and effectiveness of the production buildings in its range of influence.
| Item name | Effect | Rarity/notes |
|---|---|---|
| Carpenter specialists | 40-60% Increase productivity | Epic/legendary |
| Industrial engineers | Reduces workforce requirements | |
| Johan the inventor | Can produce gramophones |
These are some of the items that can assist your Sawmill in Anno 1800.
Electricity
Adding electricity to the Sawmill in Anno 1800 will double its production. You must remember that you will also have to increase the number of Lumberjacks hut.
Layouts
Here we will look at a couple of layouts that you can use to design the most efficient layouts.
Option 1
This is a simple layout that move the wood from the Lumberjacks hut to the sawmill and then eventually onto the Warehouse.
This layout will produce one ton of timber every 15 seconds or four tons every minute.
