Hay and Silo.

[Citpoc]

So obviously you get hay from processing grass, but where do you process it? and buying a grass starter (which you do to specifically get grass) gives you like 99% fiber. Built a Silo, can't store hay from inventory there (not even when I cut grass near it does it add anything). Does anyone know how I can get my damn hay?

(since the game has clearly some major SDV references and similar mechanics, I've been assuming that's how you get hay.)

Like a lot of other stuff…it probably hasn’t been implemented yet

[buzzkill Britta]

You can buy a mill

Like Lloyd said I don't think it's been fully implemented yet.

That said, the Hay that goes into your silo can be directly pulled from in the barns/coops. I don't know if you can put it back into the silo as of yet. The mill seems to allow you 50 spots of hay storage (and where you plug in resources to make hay) and then a silo adds an additional 100 spots.

I still haven't entirely figured this out. The mill says that it can create hay but will not let me put in the required resources. I am working toward making a silo to see if the mill will produce hay if the silo is by it.

You put fiber into the Mill to make Hay apparently. I don't think the silo where you store the hay is fully implemented though.

[Citpoc]

Thanks y'all! Mill confirmed. Also it processes it automatically into the silo as well.

This game is lacking in explanations across the board :(

Sadly not, it needs grass, which the game says you get from buying the grass starter kit at 2 money per starter. The problem is that the starter grass doesn't ever grow to actual grass you can cut down, when you cut it down it becomes fiber with a very slim chance of grass. In my 25 ish hours I've managed to get 2 grass by cutting down everything I can see, including the whole farm lot. As of right now, it's either very buggy, or not implemented well enough. Luckily you can buy hay, so at least animal agriculture works.

I have found 1 grass in my 28 hours but fiber does go into the mill and make hay.

Are you able to record this and upload as unlisted on YouTube or similar? Cause I can't get the fiber into the mill.

no, I'm sorry. I have no idea how to do any of that. It took me forever to figure it out. Does your mill say 50 fiber/50 hay(or 150/150 if you have the silo)? If it does, you already have 50(or 150) hay available. it wouldn't let me put in fiber because it was already full when I built it.

Same here, fiber worked fine. I even got like a prompt that showed that the mill turns fiber into hay when standing in front of the mill. I agree on the grass starters tho, they never expand. the wild grass that u start with on the farm does tho. But running around the forest and town u can pretty much just cut grass on the way anyway for free.

My mill says 50 grass to 50 hay, I can't actually place the fiber into the mill, but the two grass pieces went in just fine. Is there a menu toggle or research for it? Hay research maybe? Actually, Ling's lab has something with hay.

[queer_gleam]

if it says 50/50, you already have 50 hay. The thing at the lab is to upgrade it so the animals produce higher quality products. you should be able to get it out of the barn when you build that. I'm not sure if the silo is necessary for that part but it does give you more space for food.
mine has the picture of fiber{with the brown tie around it) by the numbers, not grass(without the tie). I'm not sure why yours would be different.

Probably because a majority of hay irl is grass and other herbaceous plants. I am confused as to how and why some get fiber.. There was nothing with Ling sadly. Maybe it's just RNG, some get grass and other don't.
