    [Mod] Spice it up 3.0.2

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 09:23 AM PST

    Before anyone asks: Yes the modloader is working fine with GU10!

    Remember the last time when I wrote "This is probably the last ever update to Spice it Up since official sites have confirmed that there is no Season 3 planned."

    Yeah lol whatever, this is the Compability Update for Game Update 10 together with some patchnotes:

    New Mod: [Ornamental] Ornamental Docklands

    • Same as [Ornamental] Grand Palace, you get the entire collection of dockland modules as functionless ornamentals without harbor blocking. The ornaments are only available for owners of the docklands DLC and will be unlocked together with the Docklands.

    [Gameplay] Harborlife
    Mainz has done some code cleanup and addtions for this update which greatly affects the functionality of harborlife in a positive way. So here is the things you can do now:

    • Removed Quaystreets since they are incorporated into Vanilla now.
    • Your existing quaystreets will automatically convert their look to the new vanilla one.
    • Houses will not sink into the Quay anymore

    Apart from that, some changes have been made:

    • All Residences and Public Service Quay Areas will have filled instead of bevelled corners.
    • The quay area of small storages has been changed to fit their building size.
    • Several Selection Boxes have been updated to fit their building size.
    • Townhalls in the Harbor can no longer be overlapped with normal ones.
    • Cleanup of unused files, you will be happy to hear that this has reduced the download size of the full spice it up package to under 250MB.

    [Gameplay] Active Trader Nate

    • Budgets were adjusted to Vanilla to fit the recent increase to 100k credits per trade

    [Gameplay] AI Shipyard

    • Compability for Update 10

    [Gameplay] Cargostorage

    • Selection Boxes have been updated to fit their building size
    • Terrainadaption was overhauled

    [Gameplay] Influence Reduced for Ships

    • World Class Reefer was added

    [Gameplay] Inuit Trade Gas

    • Arctic scrap can be traded via the trade menu now.

    [Gameplay] Legendary Seeds

    • added corn super seeds

    [Gameplay] Oil Pier

    • Compability with GU10

    [Gameplay] Scrapcrafting

    • Removed the ability to craft arctic scrap

    [Ornamental] Trees with Fences

    • An Unlock Problem was fixed that caused early unlocks for worker and engineer tree variants.

    [Ornamental] World-Fair-Items

    • Pavillion, Gate and Tower were added into the Construction Menu without permits
    • This change was made to assure compability with the Metropolic Skyline mod.
    • the Multi-build of pillars and channels was adjusted to vanilla settings.

    [Adjustments] Construction Menu Cleanup

    • Mod was removed because with an increasing amount of mods it became impossible to maintain.

    [Ornamental] Unlimited Botanic Ornaments

    • Small technical cleanups

    Guide to the Export/Import System for Docklands!

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 09:14 AM PST

    Is it possible to choose what roads become Quay Streets and which stay as normal roads? Because now that it automatically switches, my harbour areas look f***ing hideous....

    Do you Roleplay?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 04:35 AM PST

    Do you Roleplay when you play Anno 1800? I like to rp as someone who really cares about his employees and tries to make them as happy as possible (I also don't use propaganda for ideological reasons). I also like agriculture, so with the Docklands DLC I want to mass produce agricultural products and trade them for other goods.

    Using the new piers instead of the old ones

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 12:17 PM PST

    Using the new piers instead of the old ones

    Is there any way to force ships to use the new piers instead the Grand Trading Post? I moved all my good passive trade buffs into the new harbor but ships are still doing business at the old trading post.

    Tips and suggestions for Anno 1800

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 12:12 AM PST

    Hi Anno community! Firstly, my thanks to the developers for this amazing game and for continuing to support it this long after release! It is amazing news that a Season pass 3 is upon us, and I am eagerly looking forward to the glorious future of the Anno franchise! Given that we now have at least another seasons worth of development on Anno 1800, I wanted to take this opportunity to ask the Anno community long time players as to what all features they wish this game had, so that the developers potentially take a look at this thread and include any such features in the upcoming free game updates that come alongside the Season Pass 3 DLC contents. Feel free to add your own suggestions!

    Let me start off by listing a few good features in my view:

    · Having an in-game notepad. The main issue I face in a lot of Anno game sessions, and especially in Anno 1800 given that there are 5 simultaneous game sessions (as of now!) to keep track of with all the DLC, is that whenever I come back to a saved game after an extended break, I am lost as to what I was doing, and what I had planned on doing. There may be fires in one session, a goods shortage in another, a planned trade route that I forgot to put in, a trade route that got lost to pirates resulting in multiple goods shortages, etc. This problem will only get exacerbated with the additional content being added to the game.

    Incorporating a simple suggestion like having such an in-game notepad will mean that we always have a handy to-do list, that we can populate before exiting our game sessions, which we can refer to, when we log back in. I know there are sticky notes, etc. in Windows 10 and third party lists we can do, but nothing beats an in-game option so that it doesn't take us away from the game once we get back in. I believe that earlier games in the Anno franchise had such a feature, so there is a precedent for adding this option.

    · Expanding the blueprint feature.

    The blueprint feature is one of the most amazing quality of life features that is present in Anno 1800, and one of the features that I miss the most whenever I go back to past Anno games or even other city builder games, and so am grateful to the developers for incorporating such a feature.

    But, there is so much more that can be done with the blueprint feature. Currently, blueprints cannot be transferred across sessions-for example, between the Old World and the Crownfalls session. Similarly, blueprints cannot be transferred across save games. If the developers can look at the Factorio blueprint available in the base builder game Factorio for inspiration in this regard and take a few pointers in this regard, it will be amazing. For example, for players who have a lot of multiple save games, or for players who have their own customized specialized city layouts, that they want to replicate in another game session, or in another save game, it will be very helpful if layouts can be saved to a "Blueprint book", which can then be accessed across multiple save games/sessions.

    I understand that certain players may feel that this takes away from one of the fundamental points of playing such city builder games-ie. Spending time manually laying out buildings for your various cities, but I would argue as a counter-point that this is only an option for players-players may choose not to utilize such features if they want to manually do everything themselves, but for those players who have settled upon a preferred city layout, or for example, for those players who have seen some experts in this game layout their cities in a very efficient/attractive/organic manner and want to replicate such layouts in their own save games, having such a Blueprint book feature, coupled with the ability for other players to upload their respective blueprint layouts for other players to copy and use in their respective save games will constitute an amazing QOL feature, that I would request the developers to work towards incorporating in-game.

    · Expanding the late-game events

    Just throwing out ideas like:

    ¨ Have the Pyrphorians as an invading late game enemy, so as to ensure that you have a sufficient military in late game after all AI have been extinguished and pirates have been conquered/allied (of course this can be a toggle able option that can be switched off at the beginning of the game session for the beauty builders).

    ¨ As an alternative/addition to above, have an option where you can mount an 'independence campaign' against Queenie and defeat her armies and become your own master-with some in-game aftereffects like the pent up gas-master probably becoming your enemy and you being forced to vanquish his island as well. I believe Anno 1701 had some option like this.

    ¨ Have more late game money sinks so that players who have reached the money limit always have something they can use the money for. I have not yet played Land of Lions so I don't know if the research institutes I have read about address this aspect, but its always great to have new monuments (for instance the courthouse from main campaign) that serve aesthetically as well as have in-game benefits thereby encouraging you to construct them. These late game money sinks can also maybe give you options to unlock alternative skins for various buildings like pubs/banks/investor houses, ship skins, etc. so that there is more variety in the in-game looks.

    ¨ Have late game random events (that can be toggled off at beginning of game session) like natural disasters-for instance, cyclones, tornadoes, earthquakes, global warming linked to your industrial production capability that result in water levels rising and sinking your docklands and harbour areas, etc. forcing you to re-develop or develop elsewhere. I think Anno 1404 had such natural disaster options that you could activate when you start a sandbox game session.

    ¨ More of a feature that I remember from Anno 2205. In that game, if you play multiple game sessions to a sufficiently advanced stage, you could gain in-game benefits that you can opt for, when you later on start a fresh game save.

    For example, it could unlock in-game modifiers like a larger number of residents in certain resident tiers, greater farming/ mining output, etc. Again, this will encourage people to play the game more and also start fresh game saves wherein they have the ability to enable/keep disabled such in-game options that they have unlocked by playing the game.

    ¨ More achievements, more character/new character portrait customization options, etc! I remember spending many hours playing Anno 1404 to just unlock the various customization options available. Anno 1800 unfortunately doesn't seem to have anywhere close to the same number of achievements.

    Having such achievements encourages long term players to continue playing the game to have something to work towards and achieve as well as providing a specific goal to work towards for players who primarily play with an end-game goal in mind, who may be discouraged from 'aimless' sandbox sessions, that are the primary mode of playing Anno 1800.

    · Expanding the tutorial/campaign/new scenarios

    One of the things that strikes you about the main campaign (which has traditionally acted as a tutorial in all the Anno games by introducing you to the various features offered by the game) is that it only goes up to Tier 3 of citizens and leaves you hanging high and dry, when it comes to dealing with late game features like Electricity, etc.

    Similarly, the Passage DLC has a mini story but doesn't really get players up to speed on the aspects of gas (or how it operates vis-à-vis electricity, etc.). I have not played through the Land of Lions campaign yet, so I don't know how it integrates and/or explains the features brought about by the LoL DLC.

    My point is that new players to the game who are potentially buying the complete edition now, or even those who are buying the base game now and have not played any earlier Anno games, may be overwhelmed by the abundance of new features available upon completion of the campaign. They will then be forced to look elsewhere outside the game for YouTube playthroughs, guides, etc. – the dedicated amongst them may follow such third-party guides and come back to apply them to the game while the casual gamer may get overwhelmed and just postpone playing the game after they reach a sufficiently advanced stage with too many things to juggle/take care of.

    One way of dealing with this is having scenarios (something past Anno games had but Anno 1800 doesn't have). There can be mini scenarios focusing on specific aspects of the game-for instance, developing electricity for an existing city requiring layouts and interactions between the new world and the OW, or requirements to establish a gas connection with the Arctic region, maybe with requirements to do so within a specific time frame (on higher difficulties)-such scenarios can function as mini tutorials that focus on aspects of the game that the base game campaign did not deal with. There can be military focused scenario, expansion focused scenario, electricity and trade connections focused scenarios, etc. completing the same can reward in-game items like cosmetic items that can be used in your normal game sessions. Such an approach of having scenarios can both drive long-term player engagement with the game and also function towards familiarizing players with various aspects of the game that the main campaign does not address or deal with.

    · Expanding diplomacy features

    I understand that the developers made a decision to forego land armies during the development of this game, and that may be a consideration for future Anno titles. But at the same time, there is still scope for at least improving the diplomacy aspects of the current title. I have pretty much settled into playing games with only pirates and without any AI, primarily because otherwise I end up with situations where I ally with Wibblie and Anne and they go to war-why can't I have an option to get allied with both and force Anne to ally with Wibblie as well and everyone is one happy family! Expanding the current diplomacy options to allow for such developments would really be helpful in this regard. Look at other related things like forcing peace treaties, demanding an island from an AI you have defeated, etc.

    · Expanding the new world

    While the Season Passes added new content to the Old World and introduced new regions like the Arctic and Enbesa and the SP3 is looking at fleshing out the Old World, the New World has been left relatively untouched despite it being present in the base game-maybe the remaining DLC of the Season Pass 3 can also look at adding maybe another citizen tier to the New World and other goods, needs and New World specific monuments, etc. that will rely on products from other regions as well. This will encourage sales of this season pass and also further develop the inter-dependency between sessions which is one of the key aspects of this title.

    · Soundtrack options

    The Anno 1800 soundtrack is so beautiful to listen to. Earlier, there was a bug that got rectified later on, whereby you could play for hours but never listen to a major chunk of the soundtrack.

    Unfortunately, if you keep shifting between sessions, it keeps resetting the sound tracks. Why can't there be an in-game music player, that gives you an option to select specific tracks that keep playing irrespective of which session you are in (with toggleable options to allow fire alarms, worker unrest etc. sounds to override the soundtrack if needed), shuffle options, etc.

    · Last but not least, again I fervently hope that the Season Pass 3 sells amazingly well so that we get a new Season Pass 4 and an India/Asia session, East India Company AI personality as a competitor to us, etc. that will fit in so well with the time period of this masterpiece of a game!

    Cheerio!

    Audio Crackling/Stuttering still not fixed

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 11:55 AM PST

    Hey everyone,

    i just downloaded the newes patch/harbour DLC and the promised fix for the audio crackling/stuttering problem caused by the prior patch is still not fixed on my end :(

    Just like before, after about an hour of playtime, the music and several audio effects start to crackle and stutter nonstop. Makes the game quite unpleasend to play to be onest.

    *EDIT*

    Seems like the performance problems are also not fixed as the game just startet to stutter like hell after about 2 hours of playing. Even on a new save-file with little to no islands settled... bummer :-/

    The performance stuttering seems to be fixed but i realy hope they bring out a hotfix for the audio problems.

    Is anyone else having this issue?

    How to use the new Quay street in Docklands dlc?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 11:20 AM PST

    I'm just playing the new Docklands dlc on the season 3 pass and had a question. If you build a brick street in the harbour area it turns into a new Quay street. It also carries power lines? I want to build a beautiful pier for my people to walk down, do people walk down the quay anyway? Or should I build a street?

    Small update for a sandbox - huge jump for players

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 12:29 AM PST

    Hi guys,

    First of all, let me to express my thanks for such a great game that you developed. I am eager to play DLC 3!

    I love especially sandbox game, but I miss one functionality: there is no in-game overview of the victory conditions and the progress.

    It's annoying, when you realize it after hundreds of hours playing. Especially when it has to be somewhare on the game "backend" and it shouldn't take much effort to lift it to a visible interface.

    Do you plan to remedy this ommission?

    Thank you!

    Season 3 pass not connected?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 08:30 AM PST

    Hi.

    I purchased season 3 pass a few days ago. Today (23 Feb), the first dlc has been released. When I opened my game, there was no "update" to the game. I have read that a number of things in the game will be updated.

    Also, I noticed that in the Store, my purchased season pass 3 doesn't show as owned. Even the separate docklands DLC doesn't show as owned.
    So I am not sure if it has been added or updated at all.

    How do I check that within the game?

    Bright Harvest DLC - The Tractor Test Quest not completing but tractor barns are delivered with fuel..

    As in the title, i started today the quest with the tractors and fuel, could build everything, it's all connected, tractors are working but the related quest wont complete. I surely missed something? Pretty new to 1800, playing unmodded game. Should i just cancel it or does it make me miss other quests from this DLC?

    Thanks in advance!

    So far I've uninstalled, reinstalled. Verified files. Restarted Ubisoft connect.

    Settling new islands in campaign mode

    Posted: 23 Feb 2021 10:32 AM PST

    When settling new islands in campaign mode, you need 10 planks and 8 steel plus some money. So I buy then from Archi or pick them up at Ditchwater. But if I carry for example 20 planks and 16 steel in order to settle 2 new islands in one trip, settling the first islands consumes all of my materials. Is there something I can do so that it becomes possible? Thanks.
