Crushing mill

Production Candy farm

An indispensable processing building, without which the almonds and cocoa beans from your orchards are useless, and with its low entry price it's worth building right at the start.

What it's for

The crushing mill processes cocoa beans and sweet almonds into ingredients for the candy factory.

Produces

Cocoa powder

Crushed almonds

The crushing mill processes cocoa beans from the cocoa orchard and sweet almonds from the almond orchard into cocoa powder and crushed almonds, which according to the building description serve as ingredients for the candy factory. It's the second key processing building on the Candy farm alongside the sugar factory and it connects both orchards to the final candy production. It takes up the same space as the sugar factory (6x5 tiles) and at 20700 sugar dollars its first level is cheaper than the sugar factory, so it's an affordable investment right at the start. It's essential for anyone who wants to actually use the almonds and cocoa beans from their orchards rather than just stockpile them.

When to build it

The building has only one level. Put it up as soon as you have at least one of the two orchards that supply it up and running, almonds or cocoa, the first level costs just 20700 sugar dollars, you'll build it in 55 minutes and according to the game it doesn't require any particular player level. There's no point waiting for both orchards at once, the mill can process cocoa beans and almonds independently of each other. One mill per farm is plenty, until both orchards start producing more raw materials than the mill can get through at its current level.

Is it worth upgrading

Just like at the sugar factory, upgrading doesn't increase the output, at the first and the last level alike you get the same 30 cocoa powder and 12 crushed almonds per batch. The upgrade does dramatically cut the time and lower the raw material consumption though, cocoa powder production drops from 5 hours 20 minutes to a mere 3 minutes and cocoa bean consumption falls from 125 to 65, and it's similar with the almonds, from 60 to 30 raw materials for 2 minutes instead of 2.5 hours. Given that the price of the last level jumps to as much as 6400000 sugar dollars and 25 workers, it pays to upgrade gradually, in line with how much your orchards actually deliver.

Tip from a veteran player Watch the lower raw material consumption at the higher levels above all, for cocoa beans and almonds alike a maxed out mill needs roughly half the raw material for the same output, so your orchards practically double in yield.

Most common mistake An early mistake is leaving the crushing mill at the first level even after you've upgraded the cocoa and almond orchards to higher levels with much bigger production, the mill then can't keep up with the raw materials and they pile up in storage for nothing.
