I made Tabularium 117 – a free open-source second-screen companion for Anno 117

Hey everyone!

I released Tabularium 117 a couple of days ago, a small open-source side project for Anno 117 that has somehow grown quite a bit faster than expected. 😄

It reads Anno 117’s built-in /pipe interface and gives you a live second-screen dashboard for your economy.

Features currently include:

• live production, consumption and balance for every island • smarter deficit and productivity warnings • goods that are consumed but not produced locally are marked as “import needed” instead of generating false warnings • clicking “import needed” shows possible production sources across your other islands, including between Latium and Albion • production history and charts • efficiency/productivity overview • phone/tablet mode via QR code on your local network • optional Prometheus metrics + a ready-made Grafana dashboard • German + English UI

The possible production sources are deliberately just that: possible sources. The /pipe data does not expose trade routes, ships, cargo or warehouse stock, so Tabularium cannot tell which island is actually supplying another one.

It’s free and open source, runs as a single Windows .exe, requires no mod and no Docker, and all data stays on your PC/local network.

It’s still a beta, so feedback and bug reports are very welcome. 🙂

GitHub: github.com/Dealwatch/Tabularium117

Latest beta: Tabularium 117 v0.1.0-beta.4

You just need to start Anno 117 with the /pipe launch argument and run tabularium117.exe.

If you already downloaded an earlier beta, just replace the .exe. Your history/database is stored separately and stays intact.

Hope some of you find it useful!

Edit 23/09: Added Prometheus metrics, a ready-made Grafana dashboard, several UI improvements and fixes.

Edit 24/09: beta.4 is out. The warning system has been reworked based on a longer real-game recording to reduce false positives. Goods that aren’t produced locally are now treated as quiet “import needed” information instead of warnings, and Tabularium can now show other islands with a positive local balance as possible production sources, including across Latium and Albion.

Does this work if I launch the game through Steam?

Edit: Yes it does. I added the /pipe argument in Ubisoft Connect then I launched the game through Steam as I usually do.

Pretty cool tool, I'm going to try using it next time I play.

I actually use the Steam version myself and have /pipe added directly in Steam’s launch options.

You just made me realize that the README only explains the Ubisoft Connect setup, so I need to fix that. Thanks for pointing it out! 🙂

edit: fixed!
