[PRT]

I have a question someone might help me out with.

I have two farms, as many do, and they share storage.
My question is: if I have the cows, goats and dairy shed on one farm, can I put the actual processing plant on the other and get the same result?
I think I should be able to since storage is shared, but I don't want to spend 300,000 if it won't work that way.
Any answers? TIA.

you can have the same buildings on each farm, and they work fine.

I have a Windmill, Sugar Factory, Dairy Plant on each farm, yet have cows on one farm and goats on the other.

I have to agree with Capricorn1 - the Red Mill is ok processing wheat, but the sugar refinery is too slow. I currently have 540 units in production, so it will take 4 1/2 days to complete, so no point planting any more sugar cane for a while. The Dairy Processing Plant does ok with butter, but the cheese & goat cheese seem to take forever. I know I don't have to send all the milk to the factory, but since I make more coins that way (exp. pts., too), it seems the reasonable thing to do. I do like the new facilities - much fun!

That's not really true... Butter is always 30 minutes, cheese 4 hours and goat cheese 3 hours.

You can produce more simply because you're adding more milk but the production times don't increase with more animals.

I'm already out about 15 days on goat cheese production. I'll have to start selling the goat milk.

Thanks Janisko, I misread the OPs question (I thought they were asking would you get more milk if you had more cows ) Thanks for picking me up on that and sorry to the OP.

This sort of reasoning would never bring about the industrial revolution.

If you were calling the shots, we would be running DOS-5 or Windows 95 on Intel 386 computers.

ENOUGH of it.

Hi, totally agree with you on you play it your way and I will play it mine !

You are incorrect on one thing though .. I would prefer we went back to the TRS-80 (Z80 16kram 16k rom) or the Commodore 64 !! Now that is when Computers had some serious power

We don't yet even know how fast things will be when this is fully implemented. We have to wait until we see what happens when the neighbor interaction phase of this whole thing is implemented.

In the meantime, I'm pretty content with the times. I don't want anymore cows or goats than I have and I'm already growing more wheat than I would prefer. The sugar plant could be a bit faster but we'll have to wait and see what happens next.
