Mission One - The Two-Year Plan | Chapter One: Shadows of the Past Anno 2070 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Remember that missions of different types will take place in the same sector, so every decision, current credit balance, etc. will have an influence on further missions. Keep that in mind!
We're sent as support for Thor Strindberg during the realization of the Two-Year Plan in Site 13. It's a facility owned by Global Trust, the biggest supplier of energy in the world. Our main objective will be to construct a turbine to increase the effectiveness of a Hydroelectric Dam. Take the assigned ship and head to Strindberg's Warehouse for supplies needed to build our own Warehouse on the neighboring island.
To build the Warehouse, swim toward the beach. When we're close enough, an icon (1) will pop up next to the name of the ship, allowing to start the construction. Click on the icon (LMB) and choose a spot for our building by clicking LMB on the shore (the red highlight means that we can't start the construction.)
The next task is to choose the location for a City Center. This is a crucial building in our city, because only within its influence will we be able to construct Public buildings. It's a good idea to put the City Center (1) in the central point of our island. Once it's done, build eight Worker Barracks (2) in the vicinity. Note: All buildings require Road connections (which enables the transportation of resources.)
The primary material necessary in building all types of buildings is the Building Module, so we need to start manufacturing it. To do that, build a Basalt Crusher (1) and a Smelter (2) near the Warehouse. To make sure our workers have food, build a Fishery (3) on the coast.
After the arrival of the engineer with the Optimized turbine, we're asked to go to the Construction site in the eastern part of the island. We go there by clicking LMB on the building - and we learn that we are out of power. From the list of Tycoon buildings choose a Rotary Excavator (1), where our workers will mine Coal, and then a Coal Power Station (2). Both buildings should be placed close to each other to shorten the road for transportation units.
E.V.E. will inform us of a mail from Engineer Peterson, which clearly says that the installation of the new turbine without having it previously tested for security measures could result in a disaster. We meet with Petersen in the Hydroelectric Dam (LMB), where he asks us to inform Strindberg about it. Send our main ship to Site 13's Warehouse. Our superior, however, ignores the warning and orders to finish the turbine's installation. Receive Steel from Site 13's Warehouse (RMB with the designated ship) and head to the shores of our island.
Upon arriving to the Warehouse (RMB), we need to unload the Steel. To do that, press and hold LMB on Steel (1), and then drag the item onto the Warehouse menu (2).
We now have everything we need to start production, but Dr. Walter summons us to the Construction site, where there have been some new problems (LMB). After a while we receive information that we're short of workers - we need to build seven additional Worker Barracks. When we are done, Thor Strindberg will ask us whether the turbine is ready. By choosing OK below our superior's portrait, we conclude the mission.
