Can meat collecters be stacked on top of each other? How high?

- I just tried stacking 2 and they stack like other things, not "high". Red face here.

- When placing them in your yard/house, be careful not to drop them directly on top of each other - they don't work so well when so crowded.

- I keep hearing that they don't work stacked, but mine do. I'm not sure how many you can pile in one spot and have them still work. I have only done two at a time.

- My info might be outdated then :) I just remember there being some bugs with stacked collectors. I'm glad they work anyways!

- Whether they work stacked on top of one another currently depends on which type of Ur house you have. I don't know which is the wanted (by TS) behaviour though. So some experimenting is necessary in your R2 slash house.

- Ooops, double post

- Last I was told (and this was quite a while ago) they had to be placed at least 1 pixel apart

- if you want to save space, drop a collector, step to the end of it, and take a tiny step forward, drop another one. you will have them spaced out about <-----> this much, and that makes it easy to stop in one spot and grab all the meat from each of them.
  I used 6 collectors this way and never had issues with them being too crowded or hard to grab. Just be careful not to pick it up, because you will have to move them around again to get them packed close to one another.

- I have 3 collectors in my yard, all stacked in exactly the same place, and they work fine. I have 12 pigs. When I tried 4 collectors, stacked the same, the piggies got confused. I didn't realise not stacking them might make a difference.

- Ohhh I didn't know this made a difference. I have 2 collectors stacked but I wondered if I can have more w/o the piggies getting confused. My yard is extended all the way. I will have to try to unstack and add another one to see what happens.
  I wonder about the butterfly milkers too. Can I have more than 2 in my yard? Do they need to not be stacked too? So many things Eye Wonders about.

- Mine used to work stacked, now they don't ...when I found them empty I filed a bug report, a staff member came along to my yard and told me it was because I had them stacked.. Now I separated them, they work.. :)

- When you put collectors of any sort in exactly they same spot as each other, they break (unless they have silently fixed this bug in the last few days).

- I just double-checked this by stacking my meat collectors exactly on top of each other in my old home and new /home. They're all working fine.
  I had them stop collecting once, for no discernible reason. I got them working again by just picking them up & setting them down. Still stacked.
