Do you open all the slots on the equipment?
Depends on which level you are but I would give preference to the dairy and the Sugar Mill.
Opening all the slots gives you the advantage of filling them before you quit for the day. Always nice to wake up to a barn load of goodies to sell
Yes but that depends on which machine. For example, there is no point in purchasing more slots for the jam maker as all jams take too long to make. For instance it takes six hours to make an apple jam. Make two, and that's twelve hours. If you're going to make apple jams (put them all in queue) before you go sleep, you will end up waking with only two apple jams even if you have more than two slots for the jam maker. Of course this is assuming you sleep for 12 or more hours, but the point is you can already make two without having to buy any more slots. I see no point in opening more slots for the jam maker unless you are sleeping beauty, or an extremely busy guy/girl who only plays Hay Day once a week.
More slots for machines with low production times is very usefull.
I have maxed out my sugar mill and dairy plant at 9 slots and 2 more to go for the feed mills.
In the higher levels you need lots of sugar and dairy to produce other stuff like pies, cakes, ice creams, coffees and it is very usefull to have lots ready in the morning.
Just curious, I have paid diamonds to open 5 on most of mine, for max production when I sleep.
I have noticed that these can be increased further, to what Max? 8 or 10?
And do you higher levels do that? And on what machines for the optimum benefit?
EG. I don't think Smelters are worth it, you can just buy more?
Thank you for advice.
The max slot you can have is 9.
Generally it's good idea to have the dairy and sugar mill have max slots open because at higher levels you will need a lot of sugars and dairies. I have both of them maxed out. Otherwise all other production I just keep as it is.
You should definitely open more slots for the dairy and the sugar mill. Machines which make products that takes a long time to produce (i.e. smelters, jam makers) are not worth your diamonds.
The optimum I've found is:
Candy machine, jewelry maker, jam maker, smelters and coffee machine - leave at the default of two.
Dairy and sugar - maximum of 9
All other machines I open up enough slots so that they can run unsupervised overnight, or for around 12 hours. Usually around 5-7. I make the quick turnaround items while I'm online, and schedule anything that takes longer than an hour to make either overnight or while I'm away from my device.
I have
Dairy max
Sugar mill max
Jam maker 2
Smelthers 2
Pop corn 4 ( 5 i think its best)
Coffee 2
Animal feed max (9)
For the wool 3 (4 is good)
And i forgot about the rest
Hope it helps
