Fix unreachable machines in a processing shed
An apparent free tile in a layout picture is not always a workable interaction spot on your device. Test the empty room before filling it with paid-for kegs and jars.
Trace a round trip from the door
Put down just enough machines to mark the two sides of an aisle. Walk from the door to the far end, turn around, and try loading a cheap fruit into the last machine on each side. A layout that permits movement can still leave an unreachable corner. If your device selects a neighbouring machine when you tap the corner, remove one machine for a turning or interaction tile and test again before replicating the row.
Choose the capacity you can actually service
The common maximum-access layouts use 67 kegs in a standard shed or 137 in a Big Shed. These are reference layouts, not a quota: sacrificing two corner positions can save more time than an awkward harvest route costs. A Big Shed expands the interior while keeping the same exterior footprint. To upgrade, visit Robin and choose the Big Shed upgrade for the existing shed rather than buying another separate shed unintentionally.
Use a single keg as the batch signal
Put a keg just outside the shed, away from travel obstructions. Load it with the same input at the same time as the interior batch. When its product is ready, you have a reason to inspect those rows without entering every morning. A test keg full of hops will not tell you when a room full of fruit wine is ready. Keep mixed recipes in separate groups or label their chests so the outside signal corresponds to a real batch.
