Yes, the telephones in Anno 1800 are single-use only. We can probably blame the investors for that.

Hey everyone! Hope you're having a fantastic week!
Anno 1800 just celebrated its 5th birthday this week and we want to extend this celebration to the Anno subreddit as well, so: we're giving away some keys for the game!
To participate, simply leave a comment letting us know what's YOUR favourite memory of Anno 1800!
Since there are plenty of different player types here on r/Anno we will leave the choice of the prize to the 10 people we are going to randomly draw (see rules below).
With the weekend so close, we'll draw and contact the winners next week Monday.
Good luck everyone and thank you for being such a wholesome community!
Rules for the giveaway, please read:
Late reply. Maybe you see it. Maybe you don't. My desire at this time is to play Anno 1800 with my wife, And maybe my Daughter. were not always home at the same times. other games we play I simply host a server that sleeps when no one is active and wakes when anyone joins. Without a dedicated server option this is impossible. I have to host our game and my family can only play if I am there to host.
Obviously it won't come to Anno 1800 But think of us in your future games :)
Hey, thank you for some context for your personal use-case! Having some kind of "always-on" game that each of you can jump in and out at any time does indeed like a great solution for your situation.
Anno as a whole it not really built around supporting such a system (in contrast to e.g. Minecraft) but it might be something we can explore for the future, if time/resources allow.
Yep, it will be released next year and will be called Anno 2025
lol
Heya, while you can't add AI players to an existing game, during setup of a new game you can add AI opponents.
In the setup screen where you also invite other players, keep the "options" button on your controller pressed (as displayed at the bottom of the screen). This should open a menu where you can select AI opponents.
why not a frostpunk style building skin pack? i did really get such kind of impression. And building covering snow mod would be nice
Not sure where you got that from originally, but we are not planning something like that for Anno 1800.
As a fan of Frostpunk myself, though, the idea it kinda cool.
:(
and I hope it stays this way until we're ready to reveal our new project. Let us have the joy of revealing it ourselves when the time is right ;)
still zero word, rumor or leak about a next anno? its been a while
Zero
It's intended as a basic indicator telling you if your warehouse is filling or emptying for a specific good.
It's useful on a basic level especially in early game to see if you're e.g. running out of fish and might need to add another fishery to meet demand.
For a more detailed view, check the statistics screen (Ctrl + Q).
Certainly great to see the poll and read through some comments in this thread here.
And OP put it very well: we have both players not being a fan of huge islands and players who'd prefer us to get rid of islands and just give them large landmasses to build cities on.
For us, islands are an essential part of Anno and provide one of its core challenges: space management. The "standard" will therefore very likely remain normal islands (which, after all, also exist in different sizes) - however, that does not mean we're ruling out huge islands at all.
We certainly did learn some lessons from their implementation in Anno 1800, though, and also monitored discussions like this to hopefully find a solution that addresses some of the feedback.
To be honest, I don't fully understand what your idea is.
Do you want to allow players to decide what the needs are that need to be fulfilled? To replace e.g. fish with canned food for Farmers? Or give investors some beer instead of chocolate?
Or is it about categories, i.e. "they want food, but I can give them whatever I want as long as it's a food item"?
In both situations, there's a big balance question, since the efforts to create specific products of course greatly varies (i.e. champagne vs fish), which is currently reflected in the way these products are assigned to specific population tiers and the effects they have for the respective population tier.
That would require a very flexible system that has different values for each product for each population tier - and there are many open questions like: do Investors even get any bonus from fish, considering its super low production effort?
Is that a "I know there will be another one because logic," or a "I know there's another one because I'm working on it,"? I won't bother asking any more questions because I know all staff will be under NDA about thing such as this.
I'm gonna do a pro move and quote from our blog from December 2022:
"While we do not have anything concrete to announce at this point, given the popularity of Anno 1800 it should not be a surprise that we are working on the future of Anno."
This statement is still true.
Its true. I love my PS5 but Steam/PC is needed for certain games. Anno is amazeballs on Steam. I thought I read that its coming off Steam in the near future so you better download what you need now
No idea where you read that, but there are no such plans. We (and other Ubisoft games) only returned to Steam in late 2022.
I'm sure you've heard the news. Ubisoft exec said customers need to get used to not owning games. If this comment about removing off steam is true, than it fits into that plan. I bought anno on uplay anyways. I don't care what platform it's on as long as it's not locked behind a monthly subscription.
There are absolutely no plans to remove Anno 1800 from Steam.
And regarding the subscription topic: This comment was solely related to subscription models (Ubisoft+ specifically, Ubisoft's subscription service) and has absolutely nothing to do with games that were purchased "normally".
With all of the love in my heart, what a bunch of nerds.
Thank you!
I’m literally shaking right now!
We need to make our demands clear. I will destroy one residence a day in my city until we no longer have capitalized species. The ball is in your court Ubisoft. I hope you make the right decision!
Expecting at least weekly updates on your city
Anno 1800 was far too successful to be the last Anno ever ;)
u/Ubi-Thorlof are such slowdowns/game freezes a known bug?
Not really, or at least it's not something that I remember us receiving reports about in recent times, sorry :/
Or just slow it down to real time, or 1 min per sec, or something like that; that would be the same thing as a pause. It looks beautiful but it's no fun having to leave my planning because of some fire in another region, or an expedition, or whatever. Plus there are so many controls to learn and production pieces to optimize it's impossible to keep up. Like the other guy said, about 10 hours in the game goes from amazing to "this is too much like work" to "screw this, I'm going to play Need for Speed Rivals just so I can relax".
Hey, as I wrote above, we're aware of the sentiment you (and others) shared, but due to the technical limitations, this is nothing that will be implemented for Anno 1800.
