What does the Silos and recycling plants do?

Play and Amazon both stock them. The original post isn't quite right any more the Euro Cup event is over so footballs cannot be used to purchase anything, however you can buy the Friary with gems. The Silo also tops up a wheat field at a rate of 1 wheat every 12 minutes.
All gem/event bought buildings do not cost anything in in-game resources - so zero wood, stone, building licenses to place. If you demolish them then they appear back in the Star menu so you can place them again.
It's generally felt that Silo's are expensive for what you get if you buy them with gems as they don't actually make a field "unlimited" unless they have the same level as all the farms using that particular field (so a lvl 3 Silo would only keep up with a lvl 3 Farm or equivalent). I personally think that some of the deposit top ups are actually very worth while. The Iron top up (+750 Iron Ore for 45 gems) is very good as the mine is expensive to build and if you apply adequate buffs you can significantly increase the amount of resources coming out of it with a levelled up mine.
The actual starter pack is brilliant value for money - 2500 gems, a silo, a watermill and a vet. general. If you bought the equivalent number of gems it would cost significantly more. I'm not sure if you can only apply one to your account though.
Unless there is either: something you *really* want or: there's a limited item; I would however hold off buying anything until you reach level 17 or so and are able to trade as this does change the way you play quite significantly.
Why cant I apply it on my account? Have you got the link to Amazon or play for starter? I am level 16 at moment close to 17. I personally don't see the need to buy resources unless its unlimited

I had this conversation recently ingame.
My own personal choices were licenses and noble residence deeds over recyling and silos;
A recycling plant produces coal, with 10 licenses u can build a full coal chain a warehouse and keep 2 licenses for other uses and its alos cheaper in gems.
A noble deed gives population free of licenses, so u dont have the need to spend a license to increase your population for a low amount of gems.
For the watermill, upgraded replaces 3-5 mills, and later u will need lots of them (50 or even more) so it will become useful LATER.
The friary its rather expensive, but igot my own from the event so can say anything about it.
You can buy noble deeds, water mills and silos, with coins from the trade chat.
I recommed to buy, 1 veteran general, x amount battle hardened general(s) and x amount building licens.
With 1 veteran general and x amount of battle hardened general (s), you can play all adventures.
(normal generals can be bought coins from tavern)
Look for adventure guides how many battle hardened generals you need, 1-3

The reason you can't buy it on your account is that it's a physical box and BB won't have a distribution network in the same way as places like Play & AmazonThat said, I it would be nice to see a "pack" bundle where you get a few special items directly for money rather than buying gems.
As for buying resources, I agree with you, with three exceptions - raw resources for Iron, Coal and Gold mines. Iron mines cost 250 hardwood planks and marble, coal is 200/200 and gold are 1400 of each. This is a significant investment of mining time (especially for gold) at lower levels so pouring an extra "blob" of raw resources will pay dividends, especially as you can get 45 gems for free if you play every day for 7 days in a row.
Oh I also discovered that each upgrade to the Friary actually increases everything by a base of 4 - so Lvl 1 = 4 beer; Lvl 2 = 8 beer. This actually makes it really worth while at higher levels as a Lvl 5 Friary will produce as much beer as 20 Lvl 1 Breweries or 4 Lvl 5's.
