Extract Statistics: Download and run AnnoCalculatorServer → open the statistics menu in Anno → the calculator automatically updates population, boosts, and existing buildings when the statistics menu is open
Boosts: Productivity of factories can be modified (e.g. to reflect working conditions, items, ...).
Construction Materials: Production chains for construction materials included.
DLC: Effects from the specified DLCs can be incorporated.
Multi islands: Create individual islands with separate production chains and population.
Export: Save and switch between multiple savegames.
Pop.: Population, i.e. enter number of inhabitants.
Chains: Display number of chains and (optionally) number of buildings within each chain.
Buildings: Display total number of buildings per factory.
t/min: Display production in tons per minute.
Workforce: Display required workforce of each tier.
Replace Inputs: Apply items that change the input of a factory (e.g grain instead of flour).
Consumption Reduction: Consider effects that reduce the consumption (e.g. newspaper, zoo sets, ...).
Locked Needs: Set the consumption of some good to zero or apply items that have the same effect.
Extra goods: Apply items that generate goods other than the normal factory output.
Select Producer: In case several factories produce the same good, select which one should be used for calculation.
