What the Silo Does

The Silo is a passive efficiency structure: while one is placed in your base, all planting work at that base is faster. It doesn't need power, doesn't need a pal assigned to it, and doesn't need to sit next to your plantations — simply having it anywhere in the base radius applies the bonus.

How to Use It

• Unlocked at level 25 in the technology tree for 2 technology points.
• Build exactly one per base. As the in-game description says, placing more than one has no additional effect.
• It must be placed within your base's radius to count.
• Planting is the sowing step of farming — the faster seeds go in the ground at your plantations, the sooner the watering and harvesting steps can begin.

Tips

The Silo is one of a family of one-per-base efficiency boosters, each covering a different work type. On its own it only speeds up the first step of the crop cycle, so it pulls the most weight when the Water Fountain and Flower Bed are keeping the other two steps moving as well. If your base doesn't grow crops at all, skip it and spend the points on a booster matching your actual output, like the Large Toolbox.
