I am not sure the silo replenishes the closest farm.
In my case it doesnt. It chooses sometimes farms 1-2 blocks away.
And yes, it doesnt skip the closest farm because it is more than full (i.e. refilled)

I got totally fed up with replacing empty fields after a while, and bought silo's for all my farms. Totally worth it for me :DQuote:

Hello Egga,
This is slightly off-subject but you can find all upgrade costs (including gem shop buildings) by clicking here.
Thank you,

I got 1 little comment on these 1field layouts: Pp buff to gain more resources per hour,so why such long transport times:confused: Stealing seconds is key in gaining more resources.
The silo is next to useless. I spend most of my time messing about replacing multiple wheat fields. It is far too time consuming.
Hi Seekhunt, Let's if I got this right, 1 silo produces wheat every 12 mins, as I have 1 silo and 20 wheat fields, I would need more silos for it to be able to keep the fields going at the mo all my fields are getting depleted.
it is all a balancing act for later stages- and the balance is different for various people. Issues to take into account for placement etcQuote:

3) Price of buildings and upgrades versus the benefit (in all reality, silos are only usefull if you have many silos, preferably as many as farms at which time you can get the situation where you do not have to rebuild fields every day)
So all depends how you value the rebuilding fields chore versus forking over sizable resources to avoid this with silos and then you have the same issue for water and you can try to get a lot of watermills to get self sufficient without need to build wells etc.
If you value the lack of rebuilding, you will be willing to sacrifice some production time (which could also be earned back with no field depletion- which i find can impact my production a lot if all fields in one region get depleted during the night or when i am not around to rebuild some of em to keep short transport times
I bought silo's for all my fields some weeks back, and upgraded the siloes to the same level as my farms. I have not replaced a single field since. Siloes are awesome :)Quote:

Priority was production time and the same times for silo and farm.
You can use it for 1 or more silos - just build them up symetricaly.
Haven't you been reading?? You get 1 everlasting field for 1 SILO + 1 FARM (=> 7 Silo's + 7 Farms on [B]1[B] everlasting field)
My setup is everlasting too, but got shortest possible walk times.
I can do 50 silos+50 farms+field+storage if i like to see walking settlers...
Hi
As one of the non-gem buyers - I do feel the silo is too weak...even upgraded to level 5; it is still not worth the effort/cost/time etc (in my opinion)
Not sure how to tweak it though...
Also - whilst the policy of keeping paying/non-paying experiences as close as possible - I do feel those that buy gems should feel a slight difference. After all, it's not a player vs player game at this point, so it's not like you can 'buy' a victory over another player...
The silo is an optional long term investment. An investment that thanks to being able to buy/sell them on the TO anyone can work towards.
They work at the same rate as a farm, which provides great symmetry, and allow you to construct some fairly good layouts that might otherwise be impossible if the silos were better than a farm.
I think they're great as they are, and already do provide a slight difference. My silos (purchased from the TO, events, and guild market, none for gems) allow me to be feel good about having to rebuild less fields.
i have all silos to match my farms the last of which are on way to level 5 now
but to take into account for the many farms/silos working on only 6 Fields i have got a few extra silos just to cover for the travel times so i have 1 or 2 extra silos again level 5 in selected parts of my farming areas to be making more wheat in the fields than i use when the last are finished upgradeing
