In a colony sim as production-focussed as Anno 1800, it goes without saying that the establishment of efficient and profitable trade routes is a key element of inter-island infrastructure. In addition to building working production chains of buildings and road networks, players will also have to manage the storage and transfer of goods to avoid overstocking, which can be just as detrimental as having a shortage of goods in supply. One of the best ways in which players can mitigate this issue, as well as transfer certain resources from island to island, is by setting up Trade Routes.
