The heart of your station is the central mainframe. To expand, you must use Connectors
Temperature is the primary obstacle in space. Each workshop has an optimal range (typically 20–39°C ) to function efficiently. Heating Up:
Place specialized Heating Modules between the structures to push excess energy from the electronics side directly into the biotech labs.
Place your main Workshops first, ensuring they have the most efficient, direct connections to the central hub. Anno 2205 Orbital Station Layout
The Orbital Station is the ultimate megastructure in Anno 2205 , serving as the central hub for global technological advancement. Accessing the Orbit sector requires the purchase of the eponymous DLC, which allows you to build a modular space station and interact with a powerful AI named Nexus. Your station orbits Earth, and its research unlocks over 75 powerful bonuses that augment every other sector in the game, from the lush Temperate regions to the barren wastes of the Moon.
This guide provides the best strategies and layouts to maximize your Orbital Station’s research output. 1. Fundamentals of Orbital Station Layout
The Modular Campus
However, the station's complex mechanics—specifically heat management, module connection, and specialist astronaut requirements—mean a haphazard layout will waste precious resources (Iridium and Orbital Link Kits) and severely limit your research potential.
The secret sauce is adjacency: Place your module. Then, mirror your layout in four symmetrical quadrants:
Create wings extending from the center for the Agriculture and Biotech branches. The heart of your station is the central mainframe
Minimize export chains
, which act as the "roads" of space. Unlike Earth buildings, orbital modules require a clear, straight connection to the workshop to receive support. Proximity Matters:
