Botanica is the third Anno 1800 DLC and was released on September 10, 2019. It is the second DLC of the Season 1 Pass. It adds a new culture building Botanical Garden, a special module for zoos, museums and botanical gardens, the Music Pavilion, and associated items. It also adds gardens as new type of pathway ornaments, and botanical expeditions and botanical events in World's Fair as means of obtaining all new botanical items.
Content of the DLC[]
The main addition of Botanica DLC is a botanical garden, unlocked after attracting 1000 Engineers. It works in the same way as zoos or museums - it consists of a main building and modules where items can be equipped. Various plants can be showcased at the botanical gardens, which increases attractiveness and if a set is completed, a specific effect will become active. Many botanical sets add a specific fertility to the whole island and increase productivity of production buildings which utilise that fertility.
Another important addition is music pavilion - a special module for zoos, museums and botanical gardens. Music sheets can be equipped in it and it will further increase attractiveness gained from particular set items equipped in the same culture building.
Plants and music sheets can have some specific ways of obtaining them - botanical expeditions and botanical exhibitions at the World's Fair are the sources specific to the items from Botanica DLC.
The DLC also gives access to 11 new ornaments which include gardens with flowers of different colours. Those ornaments can also be used as pathway ornaments within culture buildings.
Overall the DLC adds the following elements:
- Botanical Garden - modular culture building, similar to zoo and museum, where various plants can be equipped to increase attractiveness of the island or gain specific bonuses
- Music Pavilion - a special module for zoos, museums and botanical gardens, where music sheets can be equipped to increase attractiveness gained from items from specific sets
- Botanical expeditions and world's fair exhibitions - as the sources of new items from the DLC
- A set of 11 botanical ornaments
