Super late stage 150 000 inestors, all the dlc, all the zones unlocked and in various stages of completion... running into a few things that are frustrating my glorious expansion.

Oil tanker bottlenecks... man do I wish there were more ways to speed up the load and unload times of these guys. I keep running out of oil because theres tankers waiting to load or unload.

I figured arctic gas was the answer... but there really isn't a ton of it, and as far as im aware there aren't any specialists that affect production speed of it?? Im hoping someone on here will correct me because im just not seeing how it'll be really useful for replacing oil.

Im thinking I just need to diversify my trade lines for oil, lots of little routes I guess. Tons and tons of ships.

Lastly... I cant seem to find an effective way to farm expedition scrap, I've got airships patrolling all over the arctic but that still leaves me flying around manually collecting. Anyone have any strategies for this that really work? Or maybe something im missing? I dont seem to be able to buy it like special scrap.

Thanks in advance

Well... finally got to the point t whrte I have the capability to set up a ton of museums and zoos and gardens. Wanted to look up how to effectively group these sets by island type, and by page that effects them.

After hours and hours and hours on chat gpt... it just could not stop fabricating nonsense when it came time to make the final visualization.

Is anyone aware of something like this? A way to plan out what sets to put on what island, and what sheets to buff them with. I was hoping to find it all organized thst way in a single infogrslhic so I could easily reference it.

So much time wasted

So.. played for a long time on console, bought the game on pc so i could get the expansion... and I saw these specialists with little crates under them. The stats weren't very good for the specialists so I just wrote them off and carried on.

Then I saw a post in here talking about mad Mary...

Wow...

I could probably delete half my mines now. What an insane difference

Well, we finally after a bunch of mix ups and hoops aquired a nice gaming laptop from Costco.

Along comes steam summer sale and I picked up the year 5 gold pack so I finally (after losing my soul to this game on console) can play the expansions.

Oh man am I stoked.

And super intimidated hahaha... there is A LOT of content here... and I feel like if I add it all at once my head will explode.

Do you guys have any advice for how to work myself into these expansions as a seasoned anno 1800 enthusiast who's never played any of the expansions?
