Silo Placements at Mayor's House

Here's a placement map for Silos and Farms in Sector 1 down in front of your Mayors house. It's a good big, mostly open piece of real estate, and following this plan you will be able to fit 14 of each building in the area, without any of them having to walk more than a minute to do a cycle.

To get going, you should try to lay out  a grid like below using roads. I'd start from the front of your Mayors house and work your way down from there. Remember that each building is 2 segments of road across, and you should be fine from there.
This picture is partially built already, but you should be able to work out the grid with what's there.
Here's a link to a bigger version.

Once you have the layout down, the 6 farms and 6 silos I've already built will have your little settlers all going to the field on the left. The silos have a slightly shorter walk time overall than the farms, which ensures that the field will never ever run out, and the whole side will be self sufficient. The average overall walk time for the farms is 46 seconds, and 45.33 for the silos.


I haven't completed the right hand side, but have mapped out the walk distances for you to fill it out yourselves should you have that many Silos laying around. Shown below:
Here's a link to a bigger version.

Mostly self explanatory, place Farms where I've written 'F', and place Silos where I've written 'S'.
The 'X's have been placed in squares where the walk distance is over a minute, so isn't a great place for placing Silos or Farms.
All of these buildings will prefer the field on the right, and the silos again have a slightly shorter walk distance to ensure the field never runs out. The average walk time for the farms is 45 seconds, and the average for the silos is 44.5 seconds.

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback below.
