Silo

From the Slaves Wiki

The Silo is the heart of a farm. Crop patches near it grow faster, and slaves assigned to it run the farm for you: planting, watering and harvesting into the silo.

Workers

Silo workers look after every one of your patches in range:

  • They plant empty cells with the crop the silo holds the most seeds of.
  • They fetch water and pour it on cells that are dry or about to dry out.
  • They harvest ripe cells and carry the crop and seeds back into the silo.

Each delivery scales with the worker's Farming stat. When the silo is full they stand and wait until you empty it.

Silo bonus

A Crop Patch whose centre is within 240px of a silo grows in 80% of the normal time and adds 25% to its seed drops (rounded down). The bonus is set by where the patch sits, so build the silo first, then lay patches around it.

Storage

Holds: Seeds and produce from its farm. Capacity is 500 weight (see Storage and Weight). Once it is past 250 a COLLECT badge shows over it. Press E at it to move stock in or out.

Building it

Open the build menu with B, pick the Silo and place it within 200px of yourself. Buildings need 80px of space between them. You can own up to 6.
