Troughs for penned piggies in public areas

If piggy feeders don't work on streets, what are the piggies penned up in public gardens supposed to eat? Every so often a Glitch will leave them some food, but why should they have to eat off the ground? (Also, other Glitchen can steal it.) I think there should be some sort of trough at the end of each public pen. It would work like a piggy feeder where you'd put food in, but it wouldn't be removable like a piggy feeder; it would be more like the signs, permanent features of the street. And they'd have a slightly bigger capacity because there would only be one of them, and 80 units of piggy food won't last long with ten piggies.

    Or when they were hungry, they would go out and eat the crops that have not been harvested for the longest time.

  • I like this idea Kestin.  I always feel bad for the poor piggies - but for all I know they could have eaten 100  grains each that day.

  • I like this idea! 

    The other downside to dropping food is that the pigs seem to eat it immediately or not at all... so there could potentially already be food on the ground, but also hungry pigs. A trough would theoretically clear up this issue too.

    This general idea (feeders for publicly penned piggies) has been suggested a lot, always had support, and then the devs never do anything about it.  So for now we need to just hand feed them.  :)
