We all know that the silos and refinery's in TD RA TS had a thing that made you know that the silos/refinery's is filling up by either clicking on them or looking at the ore/tiberium. but you may have noticed that in tiberium wars there is no way to see the silo/refinery filling up is it?

yes it is

you see those green lines on the refinery well that the way to see that the refinery is filling up

same thing with the silo

I had a hard time figuring it out, but you may have found it out a longtime ago

was the first thing i looked for.
silos are nice but personaly i think it would be better if they could store more tiberium, but on the other hand its a nice way to make u use your money.

i've always hated silos, once i get to about 50000 credits i stop building them and i lock my harvesters inside walls. but i do think that the silos in C&C3 need a more noticeable indicator

silos are effective and tactical buildings in Command & Conquer series. They are easy way to store extra Tiberium, but guard them well if they are filled or prepare to loose yer money!

silos are cheaper smaller and more cost efficient at what they do.

I like it this way, you don't have to click on the silo or refinery to know exactly how much tiberium is stored.

Well in TS you had a good idea, like 4 steps I think. I always loved when they flash into use right before the are used.

Right. But still, this new method is not too shabby, either. It just needs to be more noticeable, especially when this game allows us to watch the battlefield from all angles (which, the storage facilities' display, IMO, don't correspond).
