Introduction

This page contains a list of building layouts for Eco production buildings.

Vegetables are separately listed as they are used in the production of Health Food and Pasta Dishes.

Some other things are yet missing, as there isn't really a layout for them. Primarily resource extraction that is based on mines and productions like Microchips which are usually included in the building plans for the corresponding good.

Goods needed to satisfy needs

Tea

Layout	Information
	No Title Space Efficiency 90% (14 Farms) Minimum Area 862 Utilized Area 24 * 40 (960) Additional Information Because the left and right sides are symmetrical, 90% space efficiency can be maintained by only building one half of it initially.
	No Title Space Efficiency 90% (10 Farms) Minimum Area 602 Utilized Area 28 * 24 (672)
> Screenshot Version <	No Title Space Efficiency 85.5% (6 Farms)/90% (if free spaces are filled) Minimum Area 342 Utilized Area 20 * 20 (400)

Health Food

This topic has three sub topics, one which has a full production chain and some more which have individual components.

Complex

Layout	Information
	Health Food Plantation Space Efficiency 91% (2 Rice Farms, 2 Health Food Factories, 4 Veg Farms) Minimum Area 494 Utilized Area 27 * 20 (540) Additional Information Supplies 1350 Eco Employees or 1700 Eco Engineers or 2000 Eco Executives. Created By The Purple Whale
	No Title Space Efficiency 84.2% (4 Rice Farms, 4 Health Food Factories, 8 Offsite Farmhouses) Minimum Area 404 Utilized Area 24 * 20 (480)

	No Title Space Efficiency 92% (4 Rice Farms, 4 Health Food Factories + 5 * 4 slot + 8 Offsite Farmhouses) 88% if only using 4 Rice Farms + 4 Health Food Factories. Minimum Area 440 Utilized Area 24 * 20 (480) Additional Information Based on above layout, but more condensed. Two health factories (leftmost and rightmost) can be replaced with 3 * 6 factories... or up to all four heath factories can be replaced by 3 * 5 factories (such as Steelworks) w/ minor road change... or some combination of the two.
	No Title Space Efficiency 91% (10 Vegetable Farms, 5 Rice Farms, 5 Health Food Factories) Minimum Area 1275 Utilized Area 36 * 39 (1404)
	No Title Space Efficiency 87.7% - 91.2% (4-8 Vegetable Farms, 2-4 Health Food Factories) Minimum Area 300-600 Utilized Area (342-666) Additional Information Usually, Vegetable and Rice seeds tend to be spread out across multiple Islands. Therefore, I propose a solution to those who don't use seeds. P.S.: In the first layout, the 4 * 3 space can be switched with any Vegetable Field, but it would be wise to make sure it has road connection. P.S.: All shown roads are necessary. P.S.: All Depots can be Level 1.
	No Title Space Efficiency 92% (4 Vegetable Farms, 2 Rice Farms, 2 Health Food Factories) Minimum Area 478 Utilized Area 26 * 20 (520) Additional Information Deleted my version, this version far superior. Thanks! -Kin37ix
	No Title Space Efficiency 88% (4 Vegetable Farms, 2 Rice Farms, 2 Health Food Factories) Minimum Area 486 Utilized Area 25 * 22 (550)
	No Title Space Efficiency 70% (4 Vegetable Farms, 2 Rice Farms, 2 Health Food Factories) Minimum Area 478 Utilized Area 38 * 18 (684)
	No Title Space Efficiency % () Minimum Area Utilized Area () Additional Information Same as the above layout, except with four of the layouts combined, to show how they fit together.
	No Title Space Efficiency 74% (8 Vegetable Farms, 4 Rice Farms, 4-5 Health Food Factories.) Minimum Area 956 Utilized Area 34 * 38 (1292) Additional Information My quadrant-penta healthy food farms idea: 8 Vegetable Farms, 4 Rice Farms, 4-5 Health Food Factories. Yes it takes a lot of space, but it works once finished. Remember to upgrade Depot to maximum possible Level, you can also start with building half of it then add second half when needed. If you manage to get at least 120% productivity for your farms due to Eco-balance you can add fifth Health Food Factory.
	Health Food x2 Space efficiency 95% (4 Farmhouses, 2 Rice Farms, 2 Health Food Factory) Minimum area 478 Utilized area 28 * 18 (504) Trivia Requires Level 3 Depot. I dare you to find anything better.

Bio drinks

Complex

Layout	Information
	Click image for HD (sorry it's so big) Requires Level 3 Depots Fruit Plantations and Dairy Farms Can be built in separate strips Bio Drinks are a pain. There's really no way around it. They're big, awkward, and trying to position them efficiently without a Level 3 Depot is nigh on impossible. This is a novel solution which places Fruit Plantations in a 9 square wide strip, and Dairy farms in a 15 square wide strip. This picture is not a set layout (there's no need to follow it exactly) it simply demonstrates some of the possible algorithms you will encounter when placing the farms in a corridor like this. Please note: I have included Bio Drinks Factories in this layout. You can take them out as necessary to create more space for fields.

Tools

Layout	Information
	No Title Space Efficiency % () Minimum Area Utilized Area () Additional Information Requires three separate mining sites Site A: 1 Depot, 1 Coal mine Site B (2x): 1 Depot, 1 Iron Smelter, 2 Tools Workshops, 1 Iron Ore Mine, 2 tiles of road For Weapons, replace 2 Tools Workshops with 1 Weapons Factory

Solar Tower

Layout	Information
	Tiled Solar Panel Farm Space Efficiency 1 row when not infinitely long - 83% (Recommended) Infinitely in every direction - 98% 2 rows infinitely long - 96% 1 row infinitely long - 85% 2 rows when not infinitely long - 60% Just 1 farm - 79% Minimum Area For one row - 12 * n * 21 where n is the number of solar farms on a row e.g 504 for 2 in a row - (12 * 2 * 21) For two rows - Similarly 12 * n * 42 where n is the number of solar farms on a row e.g 1008 for 2 in a row - (12 * 2 * 42) Utilized Area 73 per Solar Farm (1 Solar Tower & 4 Solar Panels) Additional Information This farm can be stacked infinitely in every direction. Be mindful of general construction and specifically Up/down tileability as deports need to be built. I recommend building a one row tiled farm as this is the best mix of efficiency and space taken up, remember you can't build an infinitely long farm. Created By The Purple Whale
	Single Solar Panel Farm Space Efficiency 75% Minimum Area 289 (17 * 17) Utilized Area 217 Additional Information I would recommend you only use this design if you are creating this as a one off as the previous tiled design is much better in almost very regard. Designed By The Purple Whale
