In my opinion, HD provides us two Feed Mills because we need to produce feed quickly to feed our animals. One Feed Mill is simply not enough to keep up with the speed of our animals going hungry, especially chickens and cows.

Smelters are a different story. The bars take many hours to produce and usually we need a bunch of them to make jewelleries or to upgrade our personal trains. Slow production and quick usage. This explains the need to build all 5 of the Smelters.

We only have one Dairy and Sugar Mill, so we should learn to manage its production to suit our needs. Fully unlock all the production slots (9 in total) as soon as you can.

Quick tip: produce fast items (cream, butter / brown sugar, white sugar) if you're playing regularly. Produce slow items (cheese, goat cheese / syrup) if you won't be playing for a few hours (sleeping).
