How many animals can i fit in a 50k Alakol quarter?

I heard that i can fit 25 pigs in that house but can i still fit 25 more chicken and 25 more butterfly in it?

  • Well I believe you can only have so many of 1 type of animal per screen before they feel "overcrowded".  I remembered the Wiki saying 23 pigs.. but when I checked it later, it was changed to 26... well I tried 26 and they were overcrowded... I released 3 and they were fine. For butterflies, the limit is 5 and I am not sure about chickens. I live in a 50k Alakol house too so it should be the same for you.

  • I would actually like to know about that too. Does anyone want to experiment with that?

  • @Ryfti see you can have 23 pigs and 5 butterfly in your back yard?

    i hope someone can share their experience with chickens

  • I posted in another similar thread that before reset (living in 50k home) I had 13 (or 15?) each of piggies & butterflies plus 2 chickens... Trying to add more then that gave me overcrowding... But that was just my experience in my home....

  • During beta, I was able to have 17 butterflies in my house, without any other animals. Chickens was about the same, and I think I had 26 piggies.

    After the dying butterflies update, I was only able to replenish my butterfly population to 13. Not sure if that was an adjustment or due to crowding from other animals.

  • thanks for sharing your beta experience, how ever there have been plenty of update regarding the number of pets you can keep.

  • What is the value for having more than a couple chickens?

  • I've got 15 piggies, 13 butterflies and 3 chickens.
    They seem fine. I don't want to push for more right now and upset the balance, but eventually some butterflies will go and more piggies will arrive.

    @tyfn The value of having more chickens is when you're doing the achievements where you need to raise 103 of each animal from chick - chicken, caterpillar - butterfly, piglet - piggy.  
    Having more than 1 hatcher made it go much faster.   
    After that, there's not so much value, unless you particularly like chickens I guess. I should probably release 2 of mine now and swap them for piggies :D

  • I have 19 Piggies, 12 Butterflies and 4 Chickens, and they are all getting on well.  I get more meat and milk out of my collectors than I can use daily, which is all I wanted.  Food self-sufficiency is all I aim for.  I suspect somebody probably has worked out the 'optimal' combination.

  • I use 4 collectors of each type. They seem to fill up overnight.

  • The reason I ask is that I have (only!) 10 pigs and my 4 collectors fill up overnight. Not sure what I would do with more pigs. Collect more often? Get more collectors?

  • I know this thread's about 50k houses, but in case you're curious about a 5k bog house - 7 butterflies maximum, 13 piggies are okay but don't know much higher I can go. Don't know about chickens.

  • If you nibble your piggies, your collectors still fill. How much meat you can get at any time all depends on how much work you want to do.

  • 6 piggies, 3 chickens and 3 butterflies in 50k house.

    But today my 3 butterflies are no more :(  Two were a day younger than the other one so why they all died at the same time is beyond me. They left me some little bottles of milk which I thought was kinda cute....until a friend said that her 3 butterflies died too and they left milk and butterfly eggs! 

    Anyone else?

  • Vageuly related question - I know that butterflies and pigs will die if left unloved (!), but is the same true of chickens or are they eternal?
