Improvement

There are improvements that can be made to the Slaughterhouse. One of the best things that can effect the Slaughterhouse is the placement. Placing the Slaughterhouse next to or close to a Pig farm. The next thing that we can do is to add items to a Trade union that the Slaughterhouse is in range of. Finally when you get to the Engineer level you can link the Slaughterhouse to electricity.
