Mission Two - Unforeseen Consequences | Chapter Two: C.O.R.E. Anno 2070 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
The Data log's analysis proved that the Virago had been infected with an unknown virus. The attempt to identify it consumes enormous supplies of power, which leads to a overload in the city's network system. Despite this, F.A.T.H.E.R. doesn't stop operating, and what is more, cuts the city from power supplies in order to finish the study. Dr Bartok argues that the virus moved onto its systems, causing the Artificial Intelligence to run out of control.
After contacting Dr Bartok (she's in the Warehouse on the C.O.R.E.'s northern shore), head to Prof. Devi's Ark, where we will be given an Aqua detonator - it will enable us to blow up rocks which block the possibility to extract Crude Oil in our underwater base (1). Use it by clicking LMB on the proper icon in the trimaran menu (2) when we are close to the deposits.
Afterwards, build an Oil Driller (1) and connect it with the Deep Sea Warehouse by the AquaRail. If we are short of some resources, get them from our mother base (we will need eighteen tons of Building Modules and twelve tons of Tools.) After extracting five tons of Crude Oil, take them to Dr Bartok's Warehouse.
To regain control over C.O.R.E., the professor's assistant needs Carbon. To get it, build an Oil Refinery (1) and a Carbon Factory (2). Apart from Refined Oil, to produce Carbon we will also need Coal - if we don't have enough (it's used to manufacture Tools or produce power in the Coal Power Station), we can build other Coal Mines. Once we have five pieces of Carbon, send another transport to Dr Bartok.
To ensure a permanent Carbon production, we need to be delivering Cruide Oil to the Warehouse (1) constantly. In the Strategic map, set the main ship to keep transporting the said resource, as well as Functional Food, from the Deep Sea Warehouse (2).
The next step is to make sure we're protected against an open conflict. Therefore, we start manufacturing Weapons - build further Iron Ore Mines, an Iron Smelter and a new building - Munitions Factory. Safety, though, doesn't depend only on weaponry, but also on maintaining reasonable food supplies. To stop our Fish from poisoning the workers, we need to create an antibiotic in the Laboratory. But before we can do that, we need to catch Fresh Fish (1) in a selected bay using a Pelagic trawl net found in the Warehouse, and take them to our island.
Once we've solved the food problem, load five tons of Carbon on one of our ships (our Carbon Factory should have already produce enough) and take them to Dr Bartok - in return we will get thirty tons of Iron.
To create the Anti Virus, our city needs Researchers. Because they require access to Energy Drinks, we need to build a Sugar Beet Plantation, a Coffee Plantation (remember to leave space for crops in both cases) and an Energy Drink Factory. As it's highly probable that at this point the ecological balance has been seriously upset, we can build a Waste Compactor (1) between Worker Barracks (the more of them around it, the better.) When the number of Researchers reaches fifty, we'll be close to creating the Anti Virus.
It's time to build a Shipyard, and then build a medium_warship_ship (in patch 1.02 there is an error in the translation of the Warship) - it will enable us to administer the Anti Virus. If we can't afford to build it, we can sell Rotten Fish in Yana Rodriguez's Ark, and build more Worker Barracks (to increase tax incomes.) When the Warship is ready, send it to the professor's assistant's Warehouse to get a Data board. It turns out that F.A.T.H.E.R. has learned of our intensions - drones start hovering around our island's coastline. Our objective is to deliver the Data board to the Warehouse while remaining undetected. Once we've done it, the drones will be ordered back and an enemy ship infected with the virus will appear. Our task is to destroy it before it reaches our island. Send our new Warship to take care of that.
Time to create the Anti Virus - but before we start, we need to make sure we have a hundred and fifty Researchers in the city. If not, build additional Worker Barracks (keep in mind that they require Road connection to the City Center and the Concert Hall.) Once the Anti Virus appears in our Warehouse, take in on board the Warship and head to the enemy base. The harbor is protected by four turrets, making it impossible to administer the virus directly (it takes forty five seconds.) The best way to do it is to build a Repair Drone which will take care of any larger damages done to the Warship. After we've destroyed the turrets, all that is left to do is to use the Anti Virus from the Warship menu (LMB) near F.A.T.H.E.R.S.'s Ark.
