10 employers Docks

[King Leonardo]

Why i can only hire 10 Employers at the biggest and last object what i can buy?

The gardeners are so slow that you need 2 gardeners for 8 pots to be effective

How come? Usually 1 Gardener is able to keep 8 pots going.

Using employees is meant to be a little slower than doing it yourself, but its not like he can't keep up.

If you use those air pod thingies that evaporate water faster, that might be an issue, since botanists struggle to keep those topped up if they need to care for 8 pots (especially if you also use fertilizer) I'd recommend going with the water retaining pots.

Yeah. The incentive to buy the warehouse wasn't even there. Without the extra manpower, I'd mind as well use it as extra produce instead of upgrading to it.

Whilst that is correct, two operate 4pots each is about as optimal in speed as you can get the production rate is far quicker because they half the load of watering, seeding, planting and so forth


using two over eight pots doubles production

To be fair, i also didn't buy the warehouse for a long time, since it looked almost identical to the barn. I recently bought it since i had money left over, but haven't done anything with it, yet.

Interesting. Didn't actually think of trying that, but that makes sense.

True. I've been swapped that out when getting into Coke. Water slows them down on top of everything else. Assuming they aren't getting stuck like mine tend to do. I mainly want to create a self-running business. Things like, distributors, loaders\unloaders, inventory guys, etc would be awesome. Especially when you have more than one building to maintain.

Movers or whatever they are called are on the roadmap. I'm pretty hyped for those. More Automation in the production chain (especially with restocking and getting stuff to your dealers) will be awesome.

even with air pots and best lights two operating between eight pots results in no wasted time, by the time the first sowed seed is ready for harvesting and replanted

the next is ready at almost the perfect time.

I think you can get those 4 pots in a square working with only 1 light in the middle of the 4 Racks. I read that somewhere but haven't actually tried it myself.

[Shane]

okay might try that next time i setup. see if it can be done....

Employee manager mod allows you to manage properties and employees. You can add employee slots to a property.

That's intended iirc, you arent supposed to maxx out any employee on his duties except maybe chemists because theyre so expensive. Also I don't know what kind of ludicrous demand you're having that you can't meet with even just the barn. I had all my production in the barn and was meeting demand on 5 dealers plus my own customers, and clearing 100k a day.

When I moved to warehouse it was a huge downgrade to the barn.

Have you considered increasing prices so you dont need to move so much product??
