increase amount of barn storage??

Grandma MJGrandma MJ Posts: 1
Hi I would like to know how to increase the amount in your barns when they have reached maximum. I need too do this because the organic contracts on some items exceed the 2100 total amount max in my barns. I thought maybe I could buy a gold barn but no luck on that. It will not let me do that either. Can anyone help??

    The maximum amount of barns you can have is 2 (so 1 gold and 1 regular, 2 blue or 2 gold is the maximum amount of barns you can have). If you want to improve your storage capacity you will have to delete 1 regular barn and build a blue barn for it, those will cost gold to upgrade.

    For the market you don't need to improve your barns because you can give bits and pieces of that order, the order will be there for as long as you want (except the timed orders off course)

    Just addding to Pinjo's post:
    Max. storage of barn (red): 800
    Max. storage of spacious barn (blue): 1850 - you have to buy and upgrade them with gold
    Max. added storage from main farmhouse: 500

    So, with no use of gold your storage limit is 2100.
    With two blue barns storage limit is 4200.

    In my opinion it's well worth tearing down at least one of your red barns and build a blue one instead. But if you don't buy gold you'll have to save up a looooong time before you can max that blue barn.... :(

    Maximum storage is 4200 ....3700 (2x1850 from Blue barns level 6) + 500 (farmhouse level 7)

    If you have 2100 I am guessing that is 2 red barns @ 800 each 1600+500 for the farmhouse. If you want to replace your red barns with blue ones, you need to demolish a red one first, as you can only have 2 barns at the same time. A level 4 blue barn holds 950, so you don`t have to wait until its level 6 to see some improvement, but the upgrades are expensive (gold).

    Even with 4200 storage you are still going to end up with contracts that exceed that, so you will need to fill the contract a bit at a time. Just be careful with Limited Contracts, as you only get 1 hour to fill them after you add the first amount. The standard contracts you can keep for days while you work on them if you want to.

    A suggestion which is what i did. Do 1 blue barn at a time up to level 3 then the other blue barn to level 3. The reason is because they are expensive and that will put them at 2100 storage capacity. after that when you can afford it level them up alternately to max level

  • I have been wondering how do you get the blue barns? I read that you must first demolish one red barn at a time, is this true? :o
  • CathyD (INT1)CathyD (INT1) INT1 Posts: 958
    Yes. You can only have 2 barns at a time.  If you have 2 red ones, you have to demolish one to build a blue one.  The blue barns hold more, but cost gold - lots of gold - to upgrade.
  • I have been wondering how do you get the blue barns? I read that you must first demolish one red barn at a time, is this true? :o
    @BestWendy7 (US1)  You can buy a blue barn anytime from your build menu, the difference is that the red ones cost cash & the blue ones cost gold (including the upgrades), but you get way more storage with the blue ones.

    You can only have 2 barns on your farm, whatever colour they are, so if you already have 2 red ones, you would need to demolish a red one before you can build a blue one to replace it.
  • What if the red barn is full? Do you lose everything in the barn? Thanks for your response.
  • You don`t lose it or at least you can avoid losing it, you will see all your stored items go into the red because you are holding more than your storage limit for one barn & once you do a couple of upgrades on a blue barn you will get back to your original limit + more so the totals will all turn black again. BUT, if you ty to harvest something when they are red, it will ask you to sell all the surplus for that item before you can harvest, so it is possible to avoid, its up to you.

    No, you just sell what you produce over the limit of capacity of your barns.

    But if you demolish say a red barn to place a blue one, you won't be able to add more stuff until the shiny new blue barn has reached and passed the level of storage of the previous red barn.

    Anyhow, with the organic market asking for items in the (tens of) thousands, events where you need to donate some and foremost the potential to make money by selling the over-production, there's no need to worry about having reached max capacity in your barns, regardless of the colours of them :)
  • I just looked at your farm & I see your red barns are level 7 (950 capacity) so you just need to get a blue barn to level 4 to cover that. :)
  • I have 2 red level 7 barns and my farmhouse up to level 8; my maximum storage is at 2450.  So you could add on a few more by upgrading the farmhouse too if you don't want to go the gold route.   :)

    The Roadrunner in the garage also adds storage capacity and you get more each time you upgrade it.

    In the garage you can upgrade the road runner and it increases your storage in you barns
    gives you  storage capacity
