Upgrades
There are three Epic Upgrades that can increase the money production factor of silos.
Silo Capacity
Silo Capacity allows you to increase the away-time by six minutes per level. There are ten levels, maxing out at an additional one hour per silo.
Silo Quality
Silo Quality increases the percentage of income you make while away (the game is not running on the foreground of your device), by two percent (2%) per level. There are 40 levels, maxing out at an additional eighty percent (80%) income while you are away. As of V1.4, silos now change appearance depending on quality and capacity.
