Here's something I have noticed and will help everyone around here. The determining process which Zynga uses is aimed at 'maximizing output'. i.e. The SDB will give you the item, which when added to your inventory will result in maximum benefit. My stable has 9 out of 50 parts in it now, all 9 are nails. Now, if I get a new nail, then the nail requirement of my stable is complete. Hence, for the last 20 SDBs I opened, I got nails. Since I had a number of incomplete buildings, I used the nails to finish my Winter Worskhop, my 2nd Orchard, and now finishing the nail requirement for bee hive.

The SDB won't give you construction material if you need 50 of them. But it will give you the construction material if you need only 1 of them to finish the requirement of atleast 1 building on your farm.

A strategy that can be used now: the Winter Worshop stage 1 requires just 4 of each material, add 3 of each - Nail, Board, Brick - and open all your SDBs now. While that building is pretty useless to construct, you can use the endless supply of construction materials to build more orchards and other buildings.

I hope the moderators of wiki can test this hypothesis and make necessary corrections to the article.
