Efficient feed kitchen

Production Obsidian farm

The efficient feed kitchen is a mandatory stop for anyone who wants to keep animals on the Obsidian farm, but since it's paid in gold, think the higher levels over all the more.

What it's for

This efficient feed kitchen is used to make feed for your obsidian farm enclosures and has a higher production output than the regular feed kitchen.

Produces

Ostrich feed

Lizard feed

Orca feed

The efficient feed kitchen is a key production building on the Obsidian farm, because it's where you cook feed for ostriches, for lizards and for orcas – without it you won't get any of the animals there going. The game treats it as a more powerful replacement for the ordinary feed kitchen, it gives you more feed out of the same amount of resources, so it's worth having as soon as you're juggling several animals at once. It eats up a fairly wide range of resources – rye, plums, saffron, dragon fruit, king salmon and sage – so it ties the Obsidian farm to production elsewhere as well. It's a building for anyone who keeps animals on the Obsidian farm and doesn't want to keep buying feed.

When to build it

The odd thing is that the feed kitchen is built and upgraded with gold, not with obsidian dollars – the first level will cost you 4 000 gold and you'll have it up in an hour and twenty minutes. Since neither the lizard enclosure nor the orca pool runs without it, it's one of the first buildings you deal with on the Obsidian farm, as soon as you get there at player level 114.

Is it worth upgrading

The level table shows that the output of the individual feeds stays the same from the first to the highest level – still a batch of ten in an hour for all three recipes. Upgrading therefore mainly brings more XP (from 200 up to 19 500 at level six), while the building asks for more and more workers, from 22 at level one up to 32 at level six, and no faster or bigger feed production comes out of it. Before you pour gold into the higher levels, consider whether you're really after progress tied to your player level rather than the production itself.

Tip from a veteran player Since both the build and the upgrades are paid in gold, work out how much gold the whole thing will cost you before you start pushing the feed kitchen to higher levels – at level six that one step alone is already 60 000 gold.

Most common mistake Plenty of players don't realise this is a building paid for in gold and plan their upgrades as loosely as with buildings bought for the in-game currency – then they get an unpleasant surprise when they see how much gold it takes from them.
