Rating
A new water- and power-dependent livestock line needs food, tank upkeep and time before harvest. The equipment bundle is not a reason to risk living stock while basic supply is unfunded.
A narrow use, a high price or a nightly fee usually makes fixing your current business the better spend. Buy it only for a specific plan.
When stock is piling upDo not add living stock while saleable harvest already waits for buyers; keep the established tanks healthy.
When production falls shortEnter or expand only after water, feed and power can sustain the new load. The unlock does not bypass growth or breeding time.
