Egg-ies

Raise and keep hens on your farm and they'll produce eggs for you that you can sell!

Every hen needs to eat and drink. A hen eats about 200g of feed a day so you should "stock up".  They'll lay eggs around once a day. You can collect them and sell them at the Farmer's Market or to "Big Egg".

At dusk, the hens will try to get back to the coop before night. They will sleep wherever they are until morning.

Around once a week, the health inspector will come and decide if your farm can be upgraded eventually to Grade A, or downgraded eventually to Grade D. Grade A eggs bring the most at the farmer's Market, and get a higher offer from Big Egg.

Tips: Buy a "nesting box" and the eggs will be automatically gathered! You can expand your coop,  by buying a new coop next to an existing coop square. Both you and the hens "wrap around" from top to bottom and left to right!

If there is no food in the feeder, the hens will congregate there - that's your cue to fill it up!

Controls

Movement Controls: Like vim: h=left, j=down, k=up, l=right

Other controls: C=clean, E=collect egg-IE! B=Buy, S=Sell, F=Fill feeder, +/- speed

Jam Themes:

• Day/night theme: At dusk, hens try to get back to the coop. At night, they sleep wherever they are. At dusk, they move slowly. During the day they move at 100%. Also, the display changes throughout the day.
• Placeable buildings/Farm expansion: You can expand the coop but the buildings must be contiguous.
• Farm reputation: The health inspector can upgrade your farm if there is sufficient food, water and coops for the hens.
• Farmer's market/economy: You can sell your eggs at the farmer's market (which is only open 9am-3pm) and there's a simple supply/demand curve
• Farm automation: Building a "nesting box" will automatically gather eggs (otherwise you have to pick them up one at a time.)
