Chicken Farms

Now with the final Game you may add a Vanilla Version chickenV

Replace the $TYPE_FACTORY by

$TYPE_STORAGE

$STORAGE RESOURCE_TRANSPORT_LIVESTOCK 40
$CONSUMPTION_WATER_REQUIRED_QUALITY 0.75

Means it will produce bio waste and need the live stock farm with the slaughterhouse.

I love this!
Maybe, for balance, this could be slightly tweaked (adding a real demand for water and maybe slightly increasing the crop requirement to like 0.6 instead of 0.5)

The amount of people to manage the farm for that output of meat seems excessive.
Maybe if it would generate some edible food in parallel to the meat, think of the chicken eggs...
20 people is just too many. Otherwise, love your mods for small scale farming, they create this comfy atmosphere when you are starting with a small village and building it up.

Any chance of making a branch of this mod that produces livestock instead of meat?

so lovely to have a variety of buildings

Its weird in the vanilla game that the cheapest meat available in the world (chicken) isnt available, but a luxury! xD Thank you

still with enough it is pretty reliable

Ever increasing prices means buying anything in is counterproductive eventually. These aren't meant to be stand alone suppliers for a town, more an addition to help towards the upkeep. You will need a few of these and some fish farms to produce enough meat for a reasonable size town. I do plan on doing some other varieties too so that you can use them as part of a modular farming community. These work well connected together too, like the fish farms can. If you connect two up directly by the factory connections then you only have to deliver to and collect from one of them, meaning trucks aren't sitting around waiting to get filled up as long. As I said, these are meant to be slow producers, one small chicken farm won't feed a town in the tens of thousands.

It is a nice looking addition and concept to the game. I tried it for a little over ten game years but could not generate enough meat to supply a community of the size that could spare the 10-20 workers required to operate the farm. Unlike the food supply chain the meat production chain seems to be counter productive. Better off diverting one's crops and workers to food and fabric/clothing lines then buying the meat needed from outside sources to maintain a positive balance sheet. Not everything needs to be in "red". hehehe

cool looking foward to it
