Albion province’s Perfect Production Ratios in Anno 117
Compared to Latium, Albion’s perfect production ratios are easier to master. This is a deliberate design choice given the nature of the islands and the challenges offered by the terrain.
| Production Chain 1 | Production Chain 2 | Production Chain 3 | Final Product |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Reed Gatherer | N/A | N/A | 2 Shoe Weaver |
| 2 Wheat Farm | 2 Donkey Mill | 1 Charcoal Burner | 2 Bakery |
| 1 Pig Farm | 3 Herb Garden | 1 Charcoal Burner | 2 Salsicium |
| 1 Silver Mine | 2 Silver Forge | 2 Charcoal Burner | 4 Fibularium |
| 3 Mud Driver | 2 Resin Tapper | 1 Charcoal Burner | 2 Potter |
Latium Province’s Perfect Production Ratios in Anno 117
The Latium province is where getting the most efficient production chains is truly a challenge. Not only are there more options as of writing, but some of the chains are incredibly difficult to hit the 1:1 ratio.

When you’re aiming to hit the 1:1 efficiency, there are some key pointers to keep in mind.
- If a building produces quickly than demand, it will lead to excess resources and wastage. Too slow, and you’ll end up with a lack of supply. To get 1:1 efficiency, you’ll want to match the input and output timings.
- A straightforward example is the Woodcutter and Sawmill, with both operating at 30 seconds.
- Certain buildings have area-based buffs and nerfs. You’ll have to pay attention to that when trying to calculate a 1:1 ratio.
- Most of the chains mentioned above unlock at tier 3. When you’re just getting started, you’ll usually start with the simpler chains that use one type of workers/input and one type of products/output.
- Achieving perfect production chains is key to achieving the most efficient setups, but pay attention to worker availability.
