Efficient pigsty

Animal buildings Main farm

The efficient pigsty is a solid animal building with a long production time that is worth building as soon as you unlock it and then steadily pushing to higher levels.

What it's for

This efficient pigsty is used to to produce pigs and dung and has a higher production output than the regular pigsty.

Produces

Dung

Pigs

Truffle

I keep an efficient pigsty for the pigs that come out of it once the feed is processed, and alongside that manure keeps piling up in the silo, with the occasional rare truffle too. Compared to the ordinary pigsty it gives more pigs and more manure from the same batch of feed. It takes up a larger 7x6 footprint and on the main farm I only unlock it from player level 7. The pigs go into further processing and the manure goes off to the orchards as fertilizer, so it is another fixed point in the farm economy.

When to build it

I build the pigsty shortly after the chicken coop, once I have level 7 unlocked and the windmill can make pig feed from cabbage or turnips. One lasts a long time, because a production run takes over an hour, so plenty of game time passes before I have it running at full stretch.

Is it worth upgrading

Upgrading makes a lot of sense with the pigsty, because the production time does not change while the yield grows substantially. At level 1, 10 pig feed gives 130 pigs and 33 manure in one hour ten minutes, while at the top level the same batch over the same time gives 235 pigs and 80 manure. That is practically double the output without a single extra minute.

Tip from a veteran player Before you start pushing the pigsty up to higher levels, check whether your windmill can keep up with the pig feed, otherwise the extra capacity will just go unused.

Most common mistake Players build a pigsty and then do not have enough pig feed in the windmill, because making it from cabbage or turnips is easy to forget, so the pigsty sits there empty between batches for no reason.
