This table shows the requirements to construct and operate buildings, what buildings produce, and what stock level of produced items they can hold. It is based on data found at http://www.anno1602.de/ , with a few changes and additions. Thanks to Mark Watson for alerting me to an earlier error. Operating costs are expressed as Active/Passive, except where both values are the same, where only one figure is given. Population requirements can be exceeded (for example, 100 Citizens will meet any requirement that states 100 Settlers; but 100 Pioneers will not meet this requirement) and the required population must be on at least one island (if you need 200 Citizens, 100 on one island and 100 on another is not sufficient).
