Big Farm Homestead Fansite

Level 9 unlocks the Chicken Coop! You should place this building on the 6x9 plot of land you reserved in Level 8. This is a major milestone because it is the start of your homesteads interacting with each other.

• Golden Hills Role: You must grow Barley.
• Sundale Role: You must process Barley into Chicken Feed (using the Feed Mill).
• Golden Hills Chicken Coop: The Coop is located on Golden Hills, consuming the feed you just milled.

The Coop introduces the resource Eggs. (Side Note: The added chickens significantly increase your Manure supply, helping you manage your Fertilizer bottleneck.)

The Feed Mill now handles two critical supply chains (Cow Feed and Chicken Feed), and they have vastly different production times. Managing the mill queue based on how often you play is essential for achieving zero downtime.

The Production Schedule Rule:

• Long Runs (45 min+): Chicken Feed has a long production time (45 minutes, for example). Run these long batches overnight or when you plan to be away from the game for a while. This ensures the mill remains productive while you are offline.
• Short Runs (5–10 min): Cow Feed has a short production time (5 minutes). Run these short batches only when you are actively on the farm (or stock is depleted), so you can re-queue them immediately after they finish.

Goal: Never leave the mill idle. Match the product's time to your expected playtime to maximize output and efficiency.
