Default Can I produce more with two of the same facilities?

Yes. You can have more than one of the same facilities, but they must be on separate farms from each other.

If you have two on the same one farm, the second one will look like it is making products because it copies the information in the other one, but when you store from them, you are only getting products from one of them.

You could have 5 dairy processing facilities, one on farm 1, one on farm 2, one on farm 3 and so on.

If you try to buy a facilty and already have one on that farm you will see a warning pop up. This is an example of one...
If you have a lot of facilities on a farm and are not sure which ones you have or don't have on that farm, you can do the following:
  • Open the Store
  • Click on "**Facilities**
  • Click on the Funnel top right of the window and choose either "Owned", "Not Owned" or "Not in this Farm"


WARNING! If you are going to move a facility to another farm, make sure there is no pending production left in it, and you have stored the products BEFORE you move it to another farm or you will lose both what it is making and what you have not stored! The only time you will be warned is if you manually store the facility by clicking on it on your farm and clicking on "Add to Storage". If you use another method to store the facility like the "Add Item to Storage Tool" or the "Tower Crane" you will not see the warning. This is an example of the message...

IMPORTANT: If you are taking part in the Neighbourhood Chains Contest and the facility is listed for the contest, do not store the facility until the contest is over or you will abandon the contest. You will first see the generic warning as shown above, and then a second warning that the facility is in the contest.

If you ignore the message and click the green check mark you will store the facility and abandon the contest.
