Apple orchard

Orchards Main farm

The apple orchard is a basic, essential building for anyone who wants to make proper use of the manure from their animals via the silo. Without it, fertilizer just piles up unused.

What it's for

Fertilizer will help you grow apples in this orchard, plus you will receive fallen leaves for the composter as well. Fertilizer is made in the silo from dung.

Windfall apples

The apple orchard is the building that turns fertilizer from the silo into apples, the main crop that follows on from keeping animals. Leaves for the composter come out as a by-product, so the orchard also helps you keep the farm tidy. It stands on the Main farm and takes up a fairly large 7x7 area, so you'll need to find room for it. It suits anyone who keeps animals and needs an outlet for the fertilizer they end up with.

When to build it

The orchard is available in the shop from level 5, so you can build it as soon as you have the silo running and fertilizer to spare. It's worth having enough of them to get through all the fertilizer your silo produces, otherwise the resources just sit there. Before you build one, check that you have enough workers, because even level one needs four of them.

Is it worth upgrading

Upgrading pays off gradually as your silo grows and more fertilizer comes in, because apple output for the seaweed fertilizer recipe rises from 423 to a full 900 units at max level. Watch out for the big jump between level eight and nine, where the price climbs to 5.2 million dollars and you also need player level 134, so that last upgrade is more of a long-term goal. Until then it's worth pulling the orchard up to at least level six or seven, where the balance of price and workers still makes sense.

Tip from a veteran player The seaweed fertilizer recipes (L, XL, XXL) run with no waiting and give bonus experience on top, so they're ideal whenever you have them available and want to cycle production quickly.

Most common mistake The most common mistake is building orchards without having the silo upgraded enough, so the orchard then sits there with no fertilizer, or you end up only running fast-acting fertilizer, which is done in 18 minutes instead of three hours but yields a measly 33 apples.
