That look very impressive. I didn't knew you could mod this game, nor even thought about modding it. I hope this is going to be very exciting, and I hope it could spark other modders to create something as well ! I wish Anno2205 had more exciting stuff post Moon colonisation, since it have potential
Well, it was quite a bit of digging and it is definitely not perfect. Lots of limitations that hindered progress as well as causes a lot of Known Issues. But nevertheless an impressive job in such a restricted environment in comparison to 1800.
Just started playing this and I love it! The new chains are cool, the new decorations and and! Thank you for your awesome job! Two problems which I encountered: 1. World market is for me not accessible anymore (but can play without it though) 2. The urbanism mechanic is a bit unbalanced for starting regions where buildings are locked. For example to reach the required people in tundra, I needed to massive spam wind farms. Or in moon area I hat do massive spawn oxygen makers until I got to unlock something else. Best regards
Thank you for your kind words! 1. Unfortunately that is a vanilla problem, Ubi is knowing it, but hasn't fixed the issue yet. 2. You don't necessarily have to fulfill the need for Urbanisation until you unlock the first public buildings. Just let them sit without and build a few more houses, until you unlock the first public buildings.
@@taludas well its kinda hard when you cant really produce anything to fill the needs of the tundra pops until you can trade with other regions. So without any urbanisation im sitting at one pop per house. I had to spam parking lots until I hit 75 pops to upgrade the port.
@@TPdrizzle then you are one of the victims of the typical Anno problem: not focusing on one task at a time. You have plenty of vitamin drinks to start off in the Tundra, if you would just focus over there and build up the required houses and a building materials chain, you easily get the 75 inhabitants needed.
How do you all end up with Spring as the first season? Well, this is one of the season effects for you (Spring/Dust storms) in the left hand side quest tracker, there should be a quest that explains what the current season is doing and this quest has a timer. Once the timer runs out, the season changes and so does the season sector effect. So, you just have to wait, until you can start building on Mars. Also if you are somewhat scarce with your Workforce, you should be able to start a Titanium Plate and Constructo-Bkt production on Mars without building additional houses.
Actually I haven't been active in the community back then. I haven't heard of any backlash until now, and while I understand that the official DLC Frontiers lacked content, could you elaborate what exactly went wrong in the communication back then? The naming is not really a homage to the Frontiers DLC (well it kinda fits) but is more focused on exploring the new "frontier" Mars.
I always thoughted mars should be the next planet for Anno (maybe the belt after that) and now it’s true - that’s incredible awesome thanks for ur work and hard effort to sci-fi-anno ❤️❤️❤️
This is an excellent Mod! I have a problem with the Mars Rocket Launch. I researched the 5 engine parts and upgraded the spaceport before getting the task to do so. Now I got the mission to upgrade the spaceport but I can not launch the Rocket from the already upgraded port. So I upgraded another port but now the engines are missing. Any advices?
Currently, you need to upgrade the Spaceport in the FIRST moon sector you have settled. I have added it to my list of known issues and hope to be able to fix it in the next version. Until then, you can easily solve the problem with the console: 1. select the quest on the side in the quest tracker so that the details are displayed (active quest) 2. press Shift+F1. The console opens. 3. Type (note that this is case-sensitive and do not make any spelling mistakes, otherwise the game will freeze) quests.reachSelectedQuest() 4. press Enter. The quest should be completed and the intro video from Mars will start. 5. press Shift+F1 again to close the console. Sorry for the inconvenience, hope you still have a lot of fun with the mod.
You can always download the latest version of the mod from this link: github.com/Taludas/Anno2205-NewFrontiers/releases/latest/download/Anno2205_NewFrontiers.zip Just overwrite the existing data folder.
Ha, ist ja n ding. Ich hatte sowieso vor, das spiel noch mal zu starten, um eventuell die paar restlichen achievements zu holen. Sieht so aus, als müsste ich dafür auf neuen Planeten siedeln. :p Ist es "nur" die eine mond session, die du kopiert hast? Du benutzt Global Trust Gebäude hier im Trailer, sind die Teil vom Mod oder benutzt du dafür Maug (oder eine andere, mir nicht bekannte die diese Gebäude ebenfalls hinzufügt)? Danke für den Aufwand für dieses Spiel, welches ziemlich klar nicht das beliebteste Anno ist. Ich bin hyped für den Release!
Wie das mit den Achievements aussieht kann ich dir nicht so genau sagen, da ich einiges umgeworfen habe, sind da bestimmt nicht mehr alle so erfüllbar, bzw. werden durch andere Sachen erfüllt als angegeben. Die Mod hat nur eine zusätzliche Mars Session, das der "Mare Relictum" Mond Session entspricht. Die Anfangsszene ist mit dem Maug Mod entstanden, nur für den Trailer und ohne meinen Mod.
Blue Byte has nothing to do with any of that. I guess you are referring to the Global Trust intro scene. Well, call it creative freedom or better lack of appropriate footage. Apart from that this could be a reason why the initial mission failed in the first place.
how do i install this mod, i dropped the data folder straight into the anno 2205 folder, but to no avail, the engine file didnt need changing, do i need to unpack the rda's from the base game first to use? thanks in advance.
No, If you extract the zips data folder into the main installation directory of 2205 and the engine.ini file has PreferrLocalFiles = true, you are good to go.
@@taludas i did that, even tried moving the contents of the data folder to the maindata folder, same result. oh well nvm must be something dodgy my end, thanks anyways.
@@agatenby41 all files need to be inside the data folder which sits right next to the maindata folder in the root of your Anno 2205 installation. Don't extract any files separately.
Hi Taludas, i'm on mars but the spring season lasts 60 hours, is there a way to solve it? I try to open the console but the game just crashes, far from this problem I love the mod, it gave me hours of fun great work
Update to the latest version and probably you have setup up your game incorrectly... For solution, see my website, Known Issues, last point on the list about the Mars sessions being shifted in older versions. taludas.github.io/#/en/Anno2205/KnownIssues
My little take on a Martian scenario: It begins with the shadowy enterprise known as Global Trust, which, in its insatiable quest for dominion, gives birth to a successor: Red Trust. This clandestine operation, secretly sponsored by the omnipotent Global Union, embarks on a perilous odyssey to Mars. Their mission is one of grim necessity: to uncover life, find resources, and establish habitability in anticipation of Earth's possible future overpopulation and demise. Mars, a desolate wasteland, seems forsaken by all but a hardy few. Marsborns however, as they are known, are a testament to human resilience. They have forged a culture from the dregs of scarcity, a culture where every breath is a struggle, every drop of water a treasure, also developing gene manipulation as a means of survival. Their ingenuity is their lifeblood, and they cling to it with a tenacity born of desperation. In stark contrast, Red Trust operates with cold, mechanical efficiency. Autonomous and unyielding, it is a leviathan of industry and ambition. Yet, within its heart lies a seed of treachery. The plot unfurls as Red Trust, in a move as audacious as it is inevitable, turns against its sponsor, the Global Union. They cast their lot with the Orbital Watch, a coalition that gazes upon the stars with avarice and dreams of conquest. The player launches a colony of A.I workers, followed by the second tier of pioneers who will be succeeded by the third tier, the Marsborns.
Can anyone plz help me? 76 hrs into my game with this mod and my moon only has one Helium 3 mine wich i accidentally deleted and now my entire save is a bust since i cant produce fusion core? i think its a bug but not sure if its in the game or this mod? how can i fix this?
You can always build the mine from the build menu. Officers tab pretty far to the right in the first row directly in front of the fusion preparation plant.
I have not found an easy way to modify the session's skybox unfortunately. In 3 out of 4 seasons you will have a hard time spotting earth anyways due to whether effects.
HoParodn my french but hory shit, this is a random game and vid to appear in my recommendations, I am luke warm towards the game but damn, I am surprised to see someone making large size mods for the game, I just hope someone does something similar, IE underwater stuff. If the earth is more dominated by water, why not go under da sea? The space station DLC was interesting but last I checked, it sucks, its a lateral puzzle game that gives little ot know benefits in my opinion.
"Total game overhaul for free, really?" It is called a known issue, read the documentation before playing and you're not getting bad surprises: taludas.github.io/#/en/Anno2205/KnownIssues
Last night i have installed the mod and game crashes immediately on startup, ive deleted data folder and game launches with no issues. Also, edited engine.ini, so dont see whats the catch.

Just unbelievable. Thanks for your hard work. I'm very excited to see how it plays.

How exciting! I really enjoyed 2205 and I'll definitely reinstall to check this out. Thanks for making it!
Wow… incredible work.
I held a long break from 2205, but definitely ready to sink another 30+ hours into it with this one 👊🏻🙏🏻
With this mod you'll definitely get some hours under your belt again until you reach Mars!

Well that was not on my radar well done
Excellent work on the trailer, the effort put in really shows.
Wow, just Wow...
Huh. I recently gave 2205 another shot, only to discover the terrible balancing on the higher difficulties. But this is tempting.
Wish we could have had a sandbox mode for this Anno.
Absolutly stunning. Great work you did with the game!
Taludas, I am on Mars know but my moon spaceport isn't working. Can't send any construction bots for initial constrictions on Mars.

so in what order we will install this?
i see what you did there ;)

Thanks, that solved my problem. Your mod made a very good, interesting and challenging Anno 2205. Keep up the excellent work!

i forgot this game existed
I think it is the perfect time to explore it!
Mars was supposed to be the final DLC for Anno 2205 before the entire game went EOS.
And that is one of the reasons this mod exists, to finish off what the developers didn't manage to do.

sorry the link to the mod is not found
It only releases on 22nd of May.
dude i thought this was new anno title :P is this a free mod ?
Yes, of course, but aim very happy about any support on my Kofi page if you download and enjoy my work!
They went all the way to Mars but they couldn't build diagonal roads?
It is Anno after all,.the grid is and will always be part of the formula.
You are on Mars but have skybox with Earth close by. Right...
I have not found an easy way to modify the session's skybox unfortunately.

to be honest "Mars" just looks like a reskin Moon
Well, it technically is, since as with 1800 creating something completely new from scratch is near impossible for island/session mesh.
Look dang boring in Mars
Then you can have a go at creating more exciting gameplay yourself, feel free.
It's Mars.
Other then gentle sand storms, cold snaps and solar storms nothing much will happen there.
