Workshops and labs generate heat. If a module isn't properly heated or gets too hot, its efficiency drops.
Later in the game, heat pipes become essential for transferring thermal energy from "Hot" industrial modules to "Cold" agricultural ones. Anno 2205 Orbital Station Layout
This is the most common and efficient starter layout. You create a long central corridor of connectors (the spine) and attach research wings (the ribs) perpendicular to it. Easy to expand and navigate. Workshops and labs generate heat
The layout isn't just for show; it directly impacts your Earth-based sectors. By optimizing your Orbital Station layout, you can unlock: This is the most common and efficient starter layout
Ensure you have enough life support modules to sustain the specific tier of Scientists required for your chosen research. Advanced Pro-Tip: The "Modular Loop"
Connectors are expensive and consume power. Use the minimum number required to reach your modules.
Place your heaviest power-drawing modules closest to the Hub to simplify logistics. 2. The Snowflake (Radial) Design
