This is where the real money is made. Group your supply chain together.

Never place a next to a Solar Array . The electromagnetic interference from the solar panels reduces scanner efficiency by 20%. Keep scanners in a "clean" sector of your layout, far from power generation.

Modules pass heat down a single connected chain. To prevent heat from bleeding into areas where it is not wanted, construct distinct, specialized "wings" extending from your Nexus. Dedicate one wing entirely to high-heat Cybernetics and Heavy Industry, and a separate, isolated wing to low-heat Agriculture. Step-by-Step Blueprint for a High-Yield Layout

Quantum Battery . Place one in the center of your shield triangle. It stores excess energy during calm periods and releases it during storms, preventing brownouts.

Place your main Workshops first, ensuring they have the most efficient, direct connections to the central hub.

The Anno 2205 Orbit DLC requires managing heat within an optimal 20°C–39°C range to maximize Expertise, with an effective layout relying on a 6-step module distance limit from workshops. Experts recommend a 4/3/3/1/1 workshop distribution to balance electronics, agriculture, and biotech, optimizing for late-game production bonuses.

You must train and send specialists (Biologists, Physicists, Engineers) from your Temperate, Arctic, and Moon sectors to fill station slots.

You are not stuck with the starting platform. The Sector Projects are expensive but essential.
