Meat collectors and harvesting manually at the same time?

I have a nice little farm running in my garden and would like to make sure I get all the meat I can from my pigs and all the milk possible from my butterflies. I have several meat collectors and several milk collectors. My question is about nibbling or milking those animals manually. If I nibble my pigs, will that cause the meat collectors to fill up more slowly? Is there a finite amount of meat my pigs will produce for me in a day (two nibble's worth) and it will either go into the collector or into a manual nibble? I'll nibble and milk if it means I get more out of my animals, but it is a chore I'll skip if I get the same yeild with collectors running.

  • I haven't seen a definitive statement in answer to this question nor have I done an exhaustive test, but my experience indicates that manual nibbling/harvesting and collectors function completely separately.  For maximum harvest you should do the manual work as well as gather from your collectors

  • Don't forget fecundity powder also! I currently have about 25 piggies and 7 harvestors. I manualky nibble them, sprinkle powder and collect out of the harvestors for a ridiculous amount of meat each day. I have not noticed any reduction in time it takes to fill a collector by nibbling so I believe Hawkwell is correct and they are separate.

  • So what do you do with all that meat?

  • Sell it at Cebrakul, or donate it towards an icon, although one meat= 1 favor point. I get around 300 or so meat so that helps. I should use powder. Collecting is helpful! :D Free and more money, if you have all the AK skills.

  • Having multiple collectors supposedly can confuse the animals and take them longer to fill, but the order you do things in doesn't matter.

  • Stop a 5, that's  what I did, nothing appeared on the 6th one. Good for overnight stuff.
