Efficient cherry orchard

Orchards Main farm

It's a solid boost over the classic cherry orchard, but it only pays off for someone with surplus gold and enough fertilizer at the same time, otherwise it's an expensive replacement for a cheaper building.

What it's for

This efficient cherry orchard uses fertilizer from the silo to produce cherries and fallen leaves with a higher production output than the regular cherry orchard.

Produces

The Efficient cherry orchard is an upgraded version of the classic cherry orchard that you'll find in the shop - it grows cherries from the fertilizer in your silo and gives you leaves for the composter as a by-product, and it can also turn nutritious leaves into silk. The orchard sits on the Main farm on a 7x7 plot, so it fits into a smaller gap between the other buildings of your farm's production cycle. According to its description it yields more than a regular cherry orchard, which shows most with the cheaper fertilizers such as seaweed fertilizer. It's meant for players who already have a steady supply of manure and fertilizer in the silo and want to get more out of their cherries than the basic orchard gives them.

When to build it

You can buy this building in the shop from player level 15, when the first level unlocks for 500 gold. Since every level, from construction through all the upgrades, is paid in gold rather than dollars, it's mainly worth building when you have gold to spare or are collecting it from events and quests. There's no point having several of them on the farm at once, it's more of a higher-quality replacement for the regular cherry orchard where you're already harvesting cherries regularly.

Is it worth upgrading

Upgrading makes sense because production rises significantly - with seaweed fertilizer, for example, the cherry yield goes from 286 to 600 and leaves from 12 to 28 per batch of input. The upgrade price climbs even faster though, from 500 gold at level one to 30400 gold at level nine, and it needs more and more workers (from 4 to 14) as well as a higher player level (from 15 to 139). It pays to bring the building up gradually as your farm grows rather than jumping straight for the top levels, which you won't reach for a long time anyway.

Tip from a veteran player Before you pour fertilizer into the orchard, check in your silo which type you have - seaweed fertilizers and their L/XL/XXL variants process instantly and give more cherries and XP than the classic twelve-hour fertilizer, so they're worth saving specifically for this orchard.
Most common mistake Players often build the Efficient cherry orchard as soon as it appears in the shop without having enough manure in the silo to make fertilizer - the orchard then sits empty for nothing while the gold spent on construction and upgrades is gone for good.
