What it's for

The tropical mill is used to make feed for the animals on the island farm.

Produces

Lemur feed

Peacock feed

The tropical mill is a small building with a big impact, because without the feed you make here from grapes and peanuts, your peacocks and lemurs won't get going at all. It sits on 8x7 and handles two recipes at once, lemur feed and peacock feed. It's essential for anyone planning to raise animals on the Island farm.

When to build it

It pays to build it the moment you have your first island fields and you're gearing up for animals, because the first level costs only 15000 Island dollars and takes 20 minutes to build. There's no point waiting, the mill is a cheap way into the whole animal branch.

Is it worth upgrading

Upgrading is extremely rewarding here, because the production time for lemur feed drops from 2 hours to just 20 minutes at max level and peacock feed goes from 40 minutes down to 7 minutes, and on top of that it costs a quarter less in resources. The output stays at the same 10 units, so in practice you get many times more feed for the same amount of farming time.

Tip from a veteran player As soon as you have Island dollars to spare, upgrade the mill ahead of the pens themselves, because faster feed immediately translates into smoother feeding for both animal types.

Most common mistake Players leave the mill at level one and then wonder why they can't keep up with their peacocks and lemurs, because a two-hour batch of lemur feed doesn't match the feeding frequency they're after.
