The barn is the main storage building for products, animal goods and supplies. It is already standing at the start of the game, but must be repaired during the tutorial to become usable.
Appearance
The appearance of the barn changes as the player upgrades it. Its final appearance is displayed when the barn can store at least 300 items.

Additionally, as the barn gets fuller, crates appear on its sides.
Upgrading
The barn can initially hold 50 items. Upgrading the barn will increase its capacity:
- by 25 spaces from 50 to 1,000.
- by 50 spaces from 1,000 to 10,000.
The barn can be upgraded using bolts, duct tape and planks (see Supplies for more details about these items).
Each upgrade requires the same number of bolts, planks and rolls of duct tape but the number of items requires increases by 1 with each upgrade (see the table below).
Strategy tips
- You need to store everything but crops in the barn, including supplies. This means about 180 different items or more as updates bring us new products. If you want to keep at least ten of each item you need a barn with a capacity of at least 1,800 items. However, keep some room for more, as boat orders can ask for even greater quantities of one product.
