Anno 2205 Orbital Layout

You cannot build skyscrapers on Earth without the . These large modules connect your orbital mainframe to your cities. More Uplinks = higher workforce tiers. To reach Executives and the final population tiers, you need a dedicated Uplink cluster.

Orbital Habitation modules provide OCU, but they also generate "orbital unrest" if unpowered. While there is no combat, a poorly connected habitation module can cause data penalties. Defensive modules (Orbital Lasers) are rarely needed unless you are playing on hard difficulty with AI competitors, but a single laser module can protect your entire cluster from AI "sabotage" events.

: Each workshop has an optimal temperature range (typically 20-39°C). Modules add heat, while radiators and distance lower it.
