Lobster refill technology

[Morgan]

Hello folks, I played Anno 2070 quite a bit a couple of year beck but hit a brick wall in the campaign. All my lobster sites were empty. I know there’s a researchable technology that lets you refill them but was never able to find it.
I’m thinking about giving it another go soon does anyone know how to research the tech?

Thanks

Anyways, before I derail the thread (wouldn't want that now would we xd) check the wiki ffs. You need Tech faction and laboratory for research, or buy them from NPCs (the tycoon one).

Pirates have to research all technologies anew always, legit users get Ark upgrades. Just saying.

Oh I see, so because I don’t have the game on steam I must have pirated it.
I have it on Uplay. (no point in using steam and uplay.) As I said before the only fanatic is you.
Checked wikis. I’m not asking how to research things in general, I know how to do that. I’m asking about a specific tech. “Lobster pheromones” to use the exact name.

It should be in the same tab as the other resource refill items. Or simply buy them from an NPC ark as well.

Cheers, I’ll take another look when I reach that part of the game again. As I recall I couldn’t get it to show at any of the NPC arks.

Research them in the academy. It is the laboratory that becomes available with the researchers, not the lab geeks. It should be under the research tab.

Well the NPC sell list is random and you can hit that button and pay the fee to get a new set of items. But yeah you either need to get lucky and have it show up early or spend a truckload a money cycling the list. heh

I’ve got to the same part. I need to refill both lobsters and oil. From what I can find I need an Oil Probe and Lobster Pheromones. The Tycoon ark only gives me a rotation of one of the six different items when I refresh and the Ecos only give me a one of two when I refresh. The tech ark isn’t offering items at all.

I’ve checked the academy and I’m on 13/13 in the Fertilities and Resources tab and 48/48 in the Production Buildings tab. However neither tech in in the list nor is it in the laboratory.

Everything I can find online is saying the same as people have said here. Any ideas, I’m wondering if the campaign mode has restrictions that continuous play doesn’t have. Either that or I’m being stupid and missing something obvious.

Thanks

The campaign mode and missions do have different research upgrades and may not be available. have you looked through all the categories in the academy? Are you seeing any probes at all?

I know there are different upgrades for the missions because i remember noticing some different research projects. If they are no there then it may be that they are not available on that particular mission Or in missions at all.

Thanks, I'm going to give continuous play mode a go and see if the research carries across back to my campaign game via uplay. It’s a shame because the campaign interests me a lot more than continuous play. I like to have some sort of overall goal.

It doesn't i already tried to do that. Initially i liked the continuous more because there were way more options and you get to set your own goals, in your head. I have always been a huge fan of sandbox games hat allow you to explore with out rails. Plus you can set the criteria for the game and just have fun. Recently i have been getting into the missions more trying to progress my career.

That's entirely possible. I played the entire basic campaign (which basically doubles as the tutorial) and several of the missions but can't remember many details from them. I've always intended to play all the missions and unlock the perks from them but got lazy.

If you have a few techs you can build a research center, there you can make lobster refill items

I think I'll give the missions a go.
