🏠 Buildings
Barns, coops, water towers, and more
Ranching buildings form the backbone of your ranch in The Ranchers. Barns house mammal animals (cows, goats, sheep, rabbits); coops house oviparous animals (chickens). Water towers provide essential water coverage for crops and animals. Add modules like the Barn Auto-Feeding Kit to automate daily chores.
🏠 Barn
The Barn houses mammal animals—cows, goats, sheep, and rabbits. Barns come in different sizes, each supporting a specific animal capacity. You can add optional modules such as the Barn Auto-Feeding Kit (automates feeding) and air conditioning for animal comfort.
Barn Modules
- Auto-Feeding Kit: Automatically feeds animals—saves time and ensures consistent care
- Air Conditioning Module: Improves animal comfort and productivity
- Connections: Barns connect to water towers and other buildings for resource flow
🐔 Coop
The Coop houses oviparous animals (chickens). Available in small, medium, big, and deluxe sizes. Each tier offers more capacity, better features, and improved interior space. Upgrading coops allows you to expand your flock and collect more eggs.
Coop Tiers
| Size | Capacity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Small | Limited | Starter coop for early game |
| Medium | Moderate | Mid-game expansion |
| Big | Large | Full flock support |
| Deluxe | Maximum | Premium features, best capacity |
💧 Water Tower
The Water Tower provides essential water coverage for your ranch. Crops and animals require water—connect the water tower to barns, coops, and fields. Coverage is shown via a grid overlay. Plan tower placement to maximize coverage across your ranch.
💡 Water Tower Tips
- Place water towers centrally to cover multiple buildings
- Barns and coops need water for animal care
- Check water consumption and coverage before expanding
🏗️ Other Buildings
Silos store feed and resources for your animals. Workshops are used for crafting tools and upgrades. Troughs feed animals when not using auto-feeders. Build the infrastructure that fits your ranch strategy.
