# Barn and Machines

### Seasonal Buildings

Seasonal chapters bring new ways to produce ingredients. Buildings become available with their chapter; follow the Roadmap and the building's unlock requirements to plan ahead.

### Barn

When the Barn is available and you own an eligible animal, its panel shows the feed resource, production cycle, current stage and collectible output.

Feed an idle animal using the required inventory resource. Wait for the production cycle, then collect when it is ready. A care interaction can become available during a cycle. Applicable skills or equipped effects can change production time, output or feed cost.

Animal stages and feeding streaks are game progression. The panel can also offer a stage reset or a Stars wake-up. Read the result and cost before using either option.

### Machines

When Machines are available, inspect a machine's state and requirements. A damaged machine can need a repair before its recipes become usable.

A recipe may require materials, a currency payment and processing time. Start it when the requirements are met, then claim the output when its job is ready.

Repair and production panels can offer Stars speed-ups or cancellation controls. Read the current refund information before cancelling.

Machine materials, ordinary ingredients and finished dishes are separate resources. A material used to repair equipment may not be usable as a cooking ingredient.
