External tools

An external tool is a piece of software that works with Anno 2070, but is not part of the game itself.

Official toolset

The game developers use programs specifically designed for creating maps and scenarios in Anno 2070. These are called ToolOne and World Editor.

The versions of these tools for Anno 2070 have not yet been released. Presumably these will be made available to fans at some point.

Mobile applications

ANNO2070APP — Production chain in ANNO 2070 APP for Android

Calculators

An assortment of calculators has been created. These can tell you how many production buildings you will need to satisfy the demands of your inhabitants, or how many of your inhabitants will ascend to each class, once all demands have been satisfied.

Supply & demand calculator

Determines how many production buildings you'll need to satisfy all demands, based on the number of inhabitants and the productivity bonuses/penalties you have.

Anno 2070 Calculator

The Anno 2070 Calculator is a Supply and Demand Calculator. Only type the Number of Total Houses, Houses per Class or Inhabitants in the Inputboxes to get the Number of the Production Buildings and their Chains. If you need only the Chains of your Productionbuildings, you can type the Inputboxes of the Productionbuildings too.

Overall its a little - but powerful Offline-Calculator based on Grilse´s Online Design in 2 languages.

Anno 2070 Assistant

The Anno 2070 Assistant is a light-weight offline application that simplifies game play. It allows you to calculate the demands of your population, as well as how many of each production chain is necessary to supply that population. You can also view production chains, as well as their cost values, building layouts, housing layouts, production comparisons, etc. You can even save your civilization numbers into the program for quick access, as well as change the look and feel of the program itself.

Data Release v1.0b is available for non-american users experiencing calculation issues. Please visit here and read the the Data Release 1.0b details BEFORE you download to make sure this applies to you.

RDA explorer

The game's data is packaged into a number of .RDA archives. You can find these in your installation folder. For example:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\anno 2070\maindata\Data0.rda

Mrboese has created an RDA explorer, that allows to you view, extract and modify the contents of these archives. It was created for Anno 1404, but also works on Anno 2070's archives.
