Beware Barn full at the Mill

Suzie4Suzie4 Posts: 105
When you go to run the mill, if you overproduce feed now (even slightly exceed your barn capacity), you have to sell it first before you can do the next run.

Feed sold is at a LOSS!

Check first how much feed you need if you play to keep your barns full! There is no warning that you are overproducing until you go to harvest the mill.....

Gives me no incentive now to upgrade to lvl 4 windmill as my lvl 3 windmill is now going to be idle for periods of time.... The mill upgrade was going to be my next project.. but not any more.

OMG the silo does the same now too.... instead of warning you before you commence production! lol Although this is less of an issue than the Windmill.

Wonder if the composter is the same as well?

    Suzie,

    You'll still need the windmill upgrade, simply because of the throughput volume. All that has changed is the level at which you keep your barn. I have to say that although I think it is more appropriate (in reality, how would you store more than the barn holds?) it is not a change I like. I do keep my barns full and the change means I have to calculate when to set the mill going, including some usage in the mean time.

    Curiouser and curiouser... Had you already finished Step 4 of the event — the feed production? Because as soon as I saw that task, I wondered whether maybe that was why we suddenly couldn't overshoot feed production anymore.

    Or, maybe it really was an unintended bug, which got fixed once they knew about it.

    Either way, since it made me dump a bunch of cow feed when I got up this morning, I'm no longer in danger of running into it now. :-/

    lol Montuos..... shame about the cow feed. :( No I have not even started the Step 4! Still stuck on the footprints... so really no idea! It makes me happy though that I can continue to play my original game strategy instead of working out a new one :)
    Has yours changed back to the way it was?

    I won't know until morning, after I run cowfeed again; nothing else is close enough right now. Fortunately, the task counts at the beginning of feed production, so that shouldn't be a problem even if it isn't fixed yet. :)

    Got 12 of my 18 cow chow scored; now I just have to wait until early tomorrow afternoon for it to finish grinding out so I can see! (Oh, and to finish up the pig chow and chicken chow, too!) ;D

    Thank you! :)

    This production of 120 Purina Cow Chow has been brought to you by a grant of 200 wheat from Goodgame Studios! Thenk yew! Thenk yew verra much! <bows> ;)

    Ok, I could have done this full mill run out of my own stores, but it would have been annoying to replace the amount above what I can grow in one shot overnight. The reward from the tracks task covers that nicely. :)

    Also, I'm clearly getting loopy. It's 3:00am here; I should sleep now...
