Anno 1800 – 16 Patch Notes | New World Rising: Explore the expanded island pool!
  • Support for DLC 12 – New World Rising – and the “Old Town” Pack Cosmetic DLC
  • Lifestyle Needs: We have added additional Lifestyle Needs based on DLC 12 content.
  • Multi-Move Tool: You can now move multiple objects at once by drawing a rectangle with the move tool.
  • Islands: The island pool for the New World has been expanded with new islands and riverless variants of existing islands.
  • Construction Menu: The construction menu has been reworked, with a focus on clearer structure and a dedicated category for ornaments.
  • New items for DLC 12, some with DLC cross-interactions:
    • Constable Chaos (Police Headquarters use Advanced Weapons instead of Police Equipment)
    • Bait Specialist (Arctic Hunting Cabins process beef and produce additional bear fur)
    • Inigo Flores (extra goods from Orchid and Herb Farms)
    • Enbesan Envoy (affects productions in the New World and Enbesa)
    • Maria Maravilla (extra Carriages and Scooters from the Cab Assembly)
    • Pedro, Captain of the “Panama” (extra goods from fisheries)
    • Salvador, the Stalwart (employs Artistas in New World factories for extra goods)
    • Valentina Alvarez (affects cattle farms and sanga farms for bonus milk and herbs)
  • Lifestyle Needs Balancing: We rebalanced and expanded the Lifestyle Needs for all population tiers.
    • With DLC 11 and 12, there are now up to 9 Lifestyle Needs per population tier (incl. Mail).
    • To provide a better balance with all DLC included and having “round” numbers for the maximum population, the provided population of some goods had to be changed. This will lead to some light drops in population upon loading your savegame, depending on how many Lifestyle Needs you had already fulfilled previously.
    • We also included the Panorama Effect in our balancing calculations, reacting to feedback you provided after DLC 11.
    • One example of how this can look like:
      • The soap consumption of Engineers previously was: 3,2 complete chains to support 100 residences
      • The new balancing will only require 1,25 complete chains but the population gained moved from 5 down to 2
      • In Engineer skyscrapers with 2 floor levels, the soap will add 2 more residents, with the Panorama Effect level 3 it’ll add 4 extra residents.
      • Additionally, Engineers get 3 new Lifestyle Needs via DLC12 with a total of 16 more residents to a new total with all DLC of 90
    • And another one for the investors:
      • The Bear Fur need was at 1 Bear Hunter per 100 residences
      • Now it will be reduced by about third to 0.65 per 100 Houses
      • However, the provided population will be reduced from 10 to 6
      • An Investor skyscraper with 3 floor gets additional 6 residences from the need
      • Panorama Effect level 5 will then add additional 13 for bear fur when provided
  • The Lifestyle Need “Work clothes” now gives one coin for the Jonaleros when fulfilled
  • Reduced the attractivity bonus for the “Hacienda Pool” ornament
  • Updated the “Water Cooler”, “Distiller” and “Cola Mola Wola Machine” items to also affect the Hacienda Brewery
  • Adjusted the damage balancing of Old Nate’s “CarboN8r” sea mine to 1250
  • Reduced the purchasing costs of airships from Old Nate’s in the “A Clash of Couriers” scenario
  • Improved the Airship behaviour for docking at free piers
  • Airships now descent faster when unloading Goods and Mail at Piers and Platforms
  • Pathways ornaments to connect cultural modules can now be built directly from the Cultural Buildings Blueprint Object Menu
  • The Flak Monitor now has a “Change Ship’s Skin” button in its object menu
  • Changed the wording of the button in the DLC overview screen in the main menu from “Activate DLC” to “Redeem a Key” to address feedback
  • Changed the names of all airship classes built with Helium to easier differentiate them from the ones using Arctic gas
