Cleanup (issue: This Article needs to actually represent Goods, as it currently only represents Production Buildings, and not the actual Goods themselves, as is evident from the linked production chains vs. descriptions.)
To meet Anno 2070 Wiki's quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. Please help by improving the article.

Goods are needed by all people and buildings of all factions. Many of them are used in Production Chains.

Construction Materials[]

General[]

Building Modules[]

Produced By Description
Building modulesBuilding modulesSAAT-overlay If it goes up, and happens to be a building, it probably needs Building Modules. Nearly everything in the game uses these modules, with the notable exception of all the buildings in the Building Modules production chain, which only require tools. You can produce modules in two ways: First you can produce it with a Smelter. The second way is to recycle it with an Underwater Recycling Station.
In production chains: Building Modules (Eco), Building Modules (Tycoon), Building Modules (Tech)

Raw Materials and Mineral Resources[]

Raw Materials are resources which are "extracted" from the island or underwater plateau. Each island or plateau has different available raw materials and a limited supply of them (a raw material is different from a Fertility). Additional supplies of an existing resource type can be added to an island by using various items created at the Laboratory. These one-time-use items - used via a warehouse - increase the available raw materials of a specific type by a set amount. The Raw Materials are divided by extraction method: There are Mineral resources (The beam pump symbol) and Mine sites (The mine cart symbol)

Some underwater plateaus have an Black smoker. Once these are inactive, an extra Mineral Resource can be extracted from the plateau. The smoker can become inactive on it's own (after some time), and then you will be able to mine a random mineral recourse. Alternatively, you can research items to manually stop the black smoker: The "refined chemicals" item created in the Laboratory will provide a random mineral resource, while the items created in in the Academy (under Fertilities and Resources) will stop the smoker and provide a specific natural resource. The building to extract these resources underwater is the metal converter. The amount of resources underwater is unlimited.

Farming[]

These goods are produced through farming, and thus are unlimited in supply, provided the right fertility is present on an island. All farms which need a certain fertility benefit from positive Ecobalance but are affected by negative Ecobalance. The ones which don't (Meat, Milk and Omega Acids) won't be affected by an ecobalance above or below 0. (Meaning these farms can only reach 100% production, whilst others can reach more when the ecobalance reaches certain levels.)
