It is important to have efficient production chains for all of these items, so gamers can build efficient industries and keep their citizens happy. This guide will help players place the right number of buildings down so they can build productive Garum production chains in Anno 117: Pax Romana.

How to Produce Garum in Anno 117: Pax Romana

Garum is one of the first goods that players will have to produce in order to keep their Plebeian residents happy. To produce Garum in Anno 117: Pax Romana, players will need to construct a building to gather Salt and Mackerel. Then, they must process these ingredients in the Garum Works building to create Garum.

The Salt Pond and the Scomber's Shack, required to collect Salt and Mackerel, must be placed in the sea, while the Garum Works building has to be placed on land.

How to Build an Efficient Garum Production Chain in Anno 117: Pax Romana

Best Garum Production Ratio

Players can construct a building to produce one of each of these goods. However, this will cause a delay in their Garum production, as all of the buildings in the chain have very different processing times. Players have to come up with the right production ratio in order to have perfect productivity (100 percent).

Here are the different processing times of each building in the Garum production chain:

Salt Pond (Salt) - 30 seconds
Scomber's Shack (Mackarel) - 1 minute
Garum Works (Garum) - 1 minute 30 seconds

The Salt Pond building will produce 1 Salt every 30 seconds, but it takes the Scomber's Shack 60 seconds to produce 1 Mackarel. In addition to this, once the Garum Works building has received both ingredients, it'll require 90 seconds to process 1 Garum. To get a perfectly efficient production chain, gamers will need to build 1 Salt Pond, 2 Scomber's Shacks, and 3 Garum Works.

If players want to improve their Garum production further, they should consider selecting Neptune as their island's patron god. As a deity, Neptune boosts the production of all buildings in the Garum production chain.
