TIPS 📝
1. It is recommended to build the Silo first before building any Coops or Barns. Personally, it is best to have at least 3 Silos in your first year. Stack up hay and make sure to empty your farm field before Winter.
Final Words
Another huge project I did not expect. A full coverage towards a topic this huge must be thought in and out. It took me 2 DAYS, from start to finish, to fully summarize everything. The wording of choice, arrangements, time taken – hopefully it is all worth it.
I decided to take a more professional approach towards the guides I make. There won’t be a project this huge in the near future, due to my school life getting busier everyday, but I will still be making guides. I love SV and I know you do too.
Lads, I hope you do enjoy your stay, your ratings, feedback and donations👉👈 DO mean a lot to me. Thank yall if you have read things this far, bless you.
