Anno 2205

Your first major task is to ensure your corporation is financially stable. This means generating more income than your upkeep costs. Focus on expanding your population by building more Investor Residences. Each new resident contributes to your tax income. Simultaneously, ensure you are meeting their basic needs: Nutrient Paste (from Algae Farms), Water (from Water Pumps), and Energy (from Wind Turbines). As your population grows, they will demand more goods. Keep an eye on the residential building's info panel to see unmet needs. Prioritize building production facilities for these goods and connecting them via roads to your warehouses. A positive credit balance is crucial for future expansion.

To reach 500 Investors, you'll need to upgrade your existing residential buildings. Investors are the highest tier of population on Earth and require a wide array of goods and services. Initially, your residents will be 'Workers'. To upgrade them, you must fulfill all their current needs and then provide the next tier of goods. For Workers, this typically involves Processed Food (from Hydroponic Farms) and Functional Drinks (from Beverage Factories). Once these needs are met, you can click the 'Upgrade' button on a residential building to advance its inhabitants to the next tier, 'Executives'. Continue this process, providing more advanced goods like Communication Devices and Luxury Food, to eventually upgrade Executives to Investors. Remember to always have enough production to cover the increased demand from upgraded residents.
