  • I have 28 pigs and 14 butterflies, 3 chickens. With mulitiple meat collectors and milk collectors I can do a shrine just with what they produce in a few hours.

  • 3 butterflies, 2 chickens, 3 pigs (and yes, I have plenty of milk, meat, and wheat, especially with my auto-collectors)

  • OMG RM, Sgjo, napabeth: how do you pet and massage all of them to keep them living? How many feeders, collectors and milkers do you have!?
    Posted 17 months ago by Spellbound Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @ Spellbound - I have 8 milk and 8 meat collectors as well as 4 feeders.
    And the first thing I do when the new day arrives (when I'm at home which is most of the time) is water, pet and harvest all of my trees, pet and nibble each of my piggies, milk all of my butterflies (they no longer get massages unless I'm in the mood :) ) and squeeze all of my chickens lol

  • I never pet and massage anymore (but remember, this is with the entire AK skill branch). Once you get Remote Herdkeeping, you throw down a couple pig feeders and keep them full (only have two feeders). That's it!

    I have um...20 of each collector going, I think. I know a guy who had 100 or more of each for a while. Really. He may still have. I think he cut back some, but...pretty funny:)

  • 9 piggies, 18 butterflies, 6 chickens. I hardly ever pet or massage, just let all the collectors do their work. Every couple of hours I empty the collectors. Pig feeders get filled up once every test, they never seem to need much. Animals are a great revenue stream, since I dislike mining.

  • 22 Piggies, 7 Butterflies, 1 Chicken :)
    I want more piggies. Just don't want these ones to get unhappy, so have been cautious about adding more

  • Wow, I didn't know you could have so many without them getting sad from overcrowding! Looks like my barn will be growing next test. I currently have:
     
    5 Piggies (4 in the pen, one on the railing)
    5 Butterflies
    1 Chicken
    1 Gloopy

    4 of each collector and one feeder.

  • I pet  just coz I luvs playing with my piggies, RM.
    Same with my trees...I pet and water them just coz I like the sound they make - I just wish the piggies would give a little squeal when you petted them - along with the little butt wiggle that they do lol

  • Oh I do pet and water my trees...um, when I wasn't killing them off toward the badges and regrowing them a lot. But when they're permanent, I do that. Sheepy, it may depend on your style of house. I think the ones with animal pens can take more....? Just a guess.

  • I have:
    5 piggies (in the pen)
    4 butterflies (in the pen)
    2 chickens (in the pen)
    1 Sheepy (next door)

    1 feeder, 3 of each collector.

    Was considering more piggies & butterflies, but was concerned about overcrowding.

  • I've got 2 chickens, 6 piggies (working on getting more), and one butterfly (gotta hatch the eggs I seasoned last test still)

    One of each collector? I didn't realize having more was useful.... I should have I suppose to let them fill up while the testing is off.
    Posted 17 months ago by Biohazard Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I don't think they'd fill while the game is down, since the timers for everything is turned off when the game is down. Otherwise, all our piggies and trees would be dead by the time we came back :p
    Posted 17 months ago by Millie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh, yeah ok. Makes sense.

    So what is the purpose of multiple collectors then? Since some people have said they only have a few of the animals but multiple collectors, do they all fill up at the same time, or is it for overflow?
    Posted 17 months ago by Biohazard Subscriber! | Permalink
  • 2 Piggies
    2 Butterflies
    2 Chickens
    (I'll probably add more next test)

    I have 1 piggy feeder, 2 meat collectors and 1 butterfly milker. I'm not completely sure whether or not they fill at the same time.

  • Mulitple collectors have more capacity all together. I *think* it's for the overflow, but I could be quite wrong. I only have two of each kind of collector.

    Usually, one meat collector fills up faster (or starts off with more per min) than the other.
    Posted 17 months ago by Millie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah, I was just thinking that aside from overnight, I won't be away from my house so long as to need more than one even with 6 pigs.

  • http://beta.glitch.com/forum/bugs/4189/#reply-36011  and the rest of the comments in the thread may help you understand why some folks enjoy a collection of collectors. One full one closer than the others makes all the others fill at the same time and very quickly.

  • @ Millie - Actually ...the collectors continue to collect while the game is down, but the piggies'  and trees' needs are turned off.
    I always empty my collectors for the last time, right before the game shuts down, and they're always filled to capacity when the game goes back up. :)
    Posted 17 months ago by sgjo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh, good to know, @sgjo :) Thanks!
    I thought it was just that I'd left them alone for a long time before the close of the test.
    Posted 17 months ago by Millie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @ Millie - yqw :)
    I had the same thought the first time it happened but then I tested it the next time and have been enjoying the extra yummies with each test now :D

  • thanks everyone for posting!!!

    i think my animals are enough for now... i might get more butterflies lol
    Posted 17 months ago by GiaTori Subscriber! | Permalink
  • 1 Pig, 1 Butterfly, 1 Chicken. I have 1 chicken (a gift) that I need to raise up. I plan on more if possible. :)

  • 2 chickens, 2 pigs, 1 butterfly. Might leave it at that until I move/get RHK, since I find that fertlidust plus streets with animals in fulfills a lot of my collection needs.

  • As JW said, more collectors=way more meat and milk, from same number of animals. It may be a bug but if so, it isn't fixed yet, so people are enjoying it while it lasts. I leave one of each type of collector full down in the pen. All the rest are hidden behind a post on my balcony and fill quickly at the same rate. Every couple hours I think.

  • 30 pigs, 10 feeders, 60 collectors :P
    Posted 17 months ago by Djoe6897 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • lol djoe. when your piggies die you will get alot of meat!!!
    thats alot of pigs!!
    Posted 17 months ago by GiaTori Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Gia, his pigs won't die 'cause of his feeders. And with 60 collectors, he is pulling in way way more meat than if they died. By the 100s. (If you are into the meat and milk, go down the Animal Kinship skills asap because Remote Herdkeeping rocks!)

  • i am going to learn that next test. i might need something for that though

  • i need to spend a emblem of humbaba...
    anyone have one?
    Posted 17 months ago by GiaTori Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I was at camp for the last week so 12/30 pigs died... andyway, 60*50 meat (if my math is right and my collectors are full) is 3000 meat. After I collect that, I tithe to the giants, 300 meats, drop 30 to 50 on my block with is decorated by me with unintristic markers, and then make a ton of them sammiches to sell so I get 11c more per piece of meat. I fill the feeders with spinach for two reasons : a)fastest growing b)handy for hard places if I am desperate.

  • I started a "Barns!" thread in the "Ideas" forum inspired by this topic.
    Posted 17 months ago by Fokian Fool Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Gia, I probably have a spare one if you are okay not earning it yourself (some folks are particular about that, some not:). Happy to pass on if you want it; IM me!

  • I love getting my own, and giving them away on global
    Posted 17 months ago by Djoe6897 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • 5 pig, 4 butterflies, 3 chickens. Seems about the right balance for me.
    Posted 17 months ago by Lord Bacon-o Subscriber! | Permalink
  • 1 pig, about 6-7 chickens, about 8 butterflies. hard to count them and the street info rarely gives those stats anymore.
