Mission One - On Hostile Terrain | Chapter Three: In the Eye of the Storm Anno 2070 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

While Rufus Thorne is gathering forces, together with Yana head to the sector where F.A.T.H.E.R. is most likely hiding. Once we're there, it turns out that the AI commenced nuclear strikes on neighboring islands, thus submitting the soil to radiation exposure. Therefore, our primary objective will be to build a base and bring back the ecological balance.

Build an Eco City Center (1) and a Concert Hall (2) among the Residence ruins. Build Worker Barracks around them to increase tax incomes. Additionally, there are Tea Plantations a little to the north - when we build a Depot there, they will automatically start producing the necessary Tea. We can also build another two or three Tea Plantations, if we intend to expand dynamically. This way, we will satisfy all the citizens' needs required to ascent to the higher level. We also need to build a Depot near the southern mountain range to acquire a Coal Mine, an Iron Ore Mine, an Iron Smelter and two Tools Factories. Don't forget to start manufacturing Building Modules and catch Fish.

Using the Commando Ship, take the Geiger counter from Eden Initiative's Ark, and then perform a scan of the two biggest islands on the map. We need to decrease the radiation level to -50 on both of them. Start with the main island - build Weather Control Stations at proper distances throughout the whole island (if the influences overlap, restoring the eco balance will be less effective.) It will require building a lot of Depots, so we need to control our credit balance (each Weather Control Station will decrease it by 18 points, and each Depot by another 5.) If it falls under 200, it will be really difficult to restore it. Once the radiation level has been lowered, we will receive Vegetable seeds, which we activate in the Warehouse - from now on, we have access to Farmhouses which produce Vegetables. When we produce the first ton, send it to the ally's Ark.

In the meantime, there are a few short side quests to do. The first one is to build two Sawmills and a Tree Nursery on our main island, as well as obtaining three hundred and sixty Eco Workers. Remember to build the said buildings away from other constructions, because Sawmills have a limited range of tree clearing (it's best to build the Tree Nursery between them.) The second quest will only require building additional Worker Barracks and waiting until they upgrade (unless we've done it before - in that case the quest will be completed automatically.) Note: if the new Worker Barracks won't upgrade, see if we have enough supplies of Fish and Tea, and whether the new Residences are located within the influence of the Concert Hall. The nest quest will be to deliver five tons of Tools to a ship with a malfunctioning engine. Completing this quest will get us a highly valuable Large drying cabinet, which increases the productivity of Tea Plantations.

When we reach the island farthest to the north, Yana Rodriguez will ask us to build a Warehouse there, a then to find and bring ten Builders (1) to her Ark. It's better to complete this quest at the beginning, because in return for saving the Builders, Eden Initiative will give us Comprehensive Environmental Regulations, which will enable us to remodel our Ark - resulting in lowering the cost of all Eco buildings by 6%.

While we can restore the eco balance on the main island by building Weather Control Stations, there won't be enough space to build so many of them on the other island. Consequently, we need to bring a thousand and two hundred Eco Workers and start producing Glass in order to build a Monitoring Station. First, build as many Weather Control Stations as possible, and then three Rice Farms (1) - the Rice produced there will be used to make Health Food (using the Strategic map, set the command ship to transport Rice to our mother base.) Next, build additional Farmhouses and a Health Food Factory, as well as three Sand Extractors (in river slots), Chip Factory and Electronics Factory. After we put an Education Network near the City Center, we will have everything we need to bring the Eco Workers.

To ensure a larger income and obtain the required number of Eco Workers faster, it's good to build another civic building (City Center, Concert Hall, Education Network and Worker Barracks.) Note: remember to monitor the production of goods - the more the citizens, the bigger the demand for specific supplies. In order to build Monitoring Stations (1), which are put over mining areas, we need Glass. As we already have three Sand Extractors, all we need to build is a Limestone Quarry and Glassworks. Once we have lowered the radiation level to -50, we will receive Durum Wheat seeds, thanks to which can start growing wheat. When we have a ton of Durum Wheat, send it to Rodriguez's Ark, thus ending the mission.
