Constructing a Silo cluster

Hi all,

I've now finished a guide for constructing a Silo cluster, and placed it here
http://thradetso.blogspot.com.au/p/silo-cluster.html

Silo placement can be a bit tricky generally, as due to the entrance of the buildings being at the bottom of the buildings, Silos/Farms placed above fields have a shorter travel time than those placed below.

For example, if you placed a Storehouse with fields next to it somewhere, the travel times for your workers would be as below

The workers in the building above the Store get to only travel 28 seconds, while their counterparts immediately below the store have to travel for 36 seconds.
Over time, this would mean that if you just placed only Farms in the quicker squares above the store, and the Silos in what *look* like the matching squares below, the fields will eventually run out as the Silos can't keep pace.
If you reversed the situation with Silos at the top, you're going to have wasted cycles during the day where the Silos aren't doing anything because the Farms aren't keeping up.

Hope you find it useful.
