Cap at level 120 gives mechanical control of the level 122 farm in the silo
They ensured that Bernard could not interrupt his food supply
The Mechanical people never intended to push the invaders anywhere beyond level 120. Pushing the barricade up to the 120th floor was part of their elaborate plan because they knew that if they had control over all levels below 120, they would have direct access to Level 122 farmland. Due to this, once Knox, Shirley and the team push the invaders to 120 in Silo In episode 6 of season 2, Knox steps forward and threatens them that they will only kill a few of them if they try. However, together, the Mechanics people would get them all.
This forces the Security Chief and the invaders to retreat, forcing them to establish a new set of barricades on level 120. Meanwhile, the Mechanical personnel secure their food supply by having full control over the level 122 farm. , they guarantee that Bernard will not be able to take his food to attack them and will have to invent other methods to take them down. While it remains to be seen what Bernard will do next, the Mechanic's acquisition of new levels gives them a significant advantage.
Why the Mechanics Desperately Needed a Food Supply in Silo Season 2
Bernard poisoned his supply
One of Bernard's moles at Mechanics poisoned the entire food supply in the lower levels. Food shortages forced the people to surrender and give up the fight against Bernardo and his tyranny. However, the Mechanics' top figures assured that they had a backup plan, which involved taking food down the garbage chute from the upper levels of the Silo. To his dismay, Bernard remained one step ahead and predicted how the Mechanic would seek help from higher levels.
Therefore, he asked the invaders to guard the garbage chute to ensure that no food was sent to the lower levels. After Bernard poisoned their food supply and even prevented them from using the garbage chutes for help, the Mechanical people deduced the perfect counterplan to gain control of all levels up to 120 in Silo 18. They forced its way up and , as a result, in Silo In episode 6 of season 2, they finally emerged victorious, stopping Bernard from securing dominance over them.
