Silo

Production Main farm

The silo is an unassuming but indispensable building, because it connects your animal buildings with your orchards, and without it the whole manure-fertilizer-apples chain doesn't work.

What it's for

The silo makes dung into fertilizer. It is used to fertilize orchards.

Produces

Fertilizer

The silo is a key production building that turns the manure from all your animal buildings into the fertilizer your orchards need. Without a silo the manure just piles up and you have nothing to feed your apple trees. It takes up a small 4x4 spot, so it won't eat much space on the Main farm, but it does need a lot of workers. It's a building for anyone who has at least one animal production running and wants to put that manure to work.

When to build it

You can build the silo as early as level 4, so before most animal buildings, which means it pays to have it finished before manure starts piling up on you. Build it right at the start and keep up with upgrading it, because otherwise the manure will just stack up unused.

Is it worth upgrading

Upgrading the silo pays off mainly because of the production time, which drops from 56 minutes at level 1 to 15 minutes at the maximum level 8, and also because of the manure it uses, which falls from 210 to 183 units for the same 10 fertilizer. The price rises steeply though, level 8 costs 60 million dollars and requires player level 144, so that last level is clearly a long-term goal. Until then it's worth pushing the silo at least to level 5 or 6, where the cost-to-benefit ratio is still reasonable.

Tip from a veteran player Keep an eye on how many workers the silo needs at higher levels, because it already wants 20 of them at level 3 and 26 at level 4, which can put a serious strain on your happiness budget.

Most common mistake An early mistake is leaving the silo at level 1 even after you've got several animal buildings running, so manure accumulates faster than the silo can process it and your manure producers then sit idle with no room in storage.
