Efficient windmill

Production Main farm

The efficient windmill is one of the most important buildings on the farm, because without it your animals simply cannot be fed. For the price and the space it takes up, the investment pays for itself quickly.

The efficient windmill is a processing building that turns my field crops into feed for the animals on the main farm. It is an upgraded version of the ordinary windmill, so I get more feed out of every batch on the same 6x4 footprint. It can process wheat, cabbage, corn, turnips and alfalfa, so a single building keeps the chicken coop, the pigsty and the cowshed supplied at once. It suits anyone who wants their animal buildings running non-stop instead of waiting on a queue in the old windmill.

When to build it

I need a windmill from the moment I build my first animal building, so right at the start of the game is fine. Because it processes five different crops into five different feeds, one of them lasts me a long while, until I have all three big animal buildings going at the same time. A second windmill only makes sense once one can no longer keep up with the chicken coop, the pigsty and the cowshed all together.

Is it worth upgrading

Upgrading is worth it, because higher levels need less input for the same result and production is much faster. At level 1 I need 82 wheat for 10 cow feed and wait over two hours, while at the top level 58 wheat is enough and it is done in under half an hour. Consumption drops in much the same way for cabbage, corn and turnips, so a high-level windmill saves you both fields and time.
