Description
This is the Sheep farm in Anno 1800. It is an early build that you will place down in the farmers section of the build menu. The sheep farm sits at the start of the Work clothes production chain for that are produced at the Framework knitters along with other items such as sails in the Old World. The sheep farm will produce one ton of wool every 30 seconds or two tons per minute.
What is produced
The sheep farm produces wool. Wool is used by Artisans as a lifestyle need. The wool will be sent to the Warehouse that can then be distributed around your islands to buildings that require it. Wool can be used for expeditions and grants 10 bonus to crafting and 20 bonus to morale for every 50 tons taken. It is also a lifestyle need of Artisans.
Improvements
When looking at improvements that can be made to the Sheep farm come from either the placement of the farm or from adding items to the Trade union that covers the Sheep farm. The placement of the Sheep farm in Anno 1800 can be optimized so that the production chains that require wool receive it quickly. Lets first have a look at the placement of Sheep farm in Anno 1800.
Placement
In this section we will look at the placement of the Sheep farm in Anno 1800. Here we will first look at the way in which we can place down the Sheep farm in a configuration that can be easily copied for easier production increases.
This is a good building block and can easily be added to, to enhance your build.
Trade union
The Sheep farm in Anno 1800 can be improved by the addition of a Trade union. The Trade union can be used with farms along with other buildings. When dealing with a Trade union it is imperative that you ensure that the correct buildings are in its influence range. The Trade union will accept items that are gained from various locations and people in your Anno 1800 world. These are some of the items that can be added to the trade union to assist the sheep farm.
| Item name | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Animal nutritionist | +40% productivity, produces dung. | Dung can be used for fertilizer. |
| Feed yard | + 70% productivity. | Stack 3 for massive boosts. |
| Veterinarian | +30 % productivity, reduces disease risk. | Maintains consistent output. |
| Shepherds crook | +20% productivity. | Simple boost. |
| Zoo set | Reduces pasture module requirement. |
Layouts
In this section we will look at some layouts to assist in the Sheep farm in Anno 1800 .
Option 1
The first layout the Sheep farm in Anno will be a very basic layout. There will also be a Warehouse that will take in the wool. This is the simplest layout for a Sheep farm in Anno 1800. To expand onto this you could also place the Warehouse next to the sheep farm and this would transfer the wool just as quick.
This layout will produce one ton of wool every 30 seconds or two tons a minute.
Option 2
In this layout we will be creating a longer layout. In this layout we will be placing the Sheep farm into a long line. The advantage of this layout is that it can fit on smaller, longer islands. We can also place production buildings around the Warehouse and the wool will go into those buildings first and then onto the Warehouse.
This build will produce three tons of wool every 30 seconds or six tons a minute.
Option 3
In this layout we will look at creating a square layout. This is an ideal layout that can be moved easily and replicated across your islands. In this build we will be adding a Warehouse so that the wool can be delivered efficiently. We can see that in this layout their is a gap on either side of the Warehouse and this can be used for placing other buildings. These buildings could be Framework knitters or Sailmakers.
This layout will produce four tons of wool every 30 seconds or eight tons every minute.
