Optimizing Trade Routes & Logistics

Advanced tips for optimizing trade routes and logistics in Anno 2205, ensuring efficient resource flow.

Beyond basic setup, optimizing trade routes involves several key strategies. First, always ensure your trade routes are balanced: the sending sector should have a surplus, and the receiving sector a deficit. Over-sending can lead to full warehouses and production halts, while under-sending causes shortages. Upgrade your Spaceports and Harbors to increase the number of available trade slots and cargo capacity. Consider creating dedicated trade routes for high-volume goods (e.g., Helium-3) and separate routes for lower-volume, high-value goods. Use the 'Trade Route Overview' in the world map to monitor efficiency and identify bottlenecks. Adjust cargo ship/rocket numbers and cargo slot allocations as your needs evolve. Maglev tracks within sectors are also vital for fast internal transport to and from your trade hubs.
