Never branch a corridor off a corridor. Always branch off the Space Elevator.
The Orbital Sector is not a place for aesthetics or leisurely city planning. It is a brutalist cathedral of logistics. Here, you do not build homes or entertain citizens. You build uplinks, research arrays, and, most critically, the . Your layout in orbit directly dictates the speed of your research, the stability of your global workforce, and your ability to access the Tychos (the game’s endgame legendary modules). anno 2205 orbital layout
Plan your arms carefully. Leave empty space between them. And always remember: Your beautiful temperate capital with its gleaming skyscrapers exists only because a cold, silent, perfectly linear corridor in orbit is feeding it data from a Tycho module. Respect the void. Build the comb. Never branch a corridor off a corridor

No corridor touches another except at the Elevator itself. This layout supports 300+ OCU, generates 5,000 data/minute, supports 500,000 global executives, and can run three Tycho modules simultaneously. Forget what you learned on Earth. In Anno 2205’s orbital sector, density is the enemy. The "no crossing" rule forces you to think in vectors, not grids. A successful orbital layout is not a city—it is a starfish. A central body (the Elevator) with long, unbroken arms stretching into the void, each arm dedicated to a single purpose: Population, Data, Workforce, or Power. It is a brutalist cathedral of logistics
