#### Meat Collecting issues.

Recently I've been having an odd issue with my meat collectors.
I've had 26 pigs and 7 collectors for quite some time now. They usually filled up either 6 and a partial or the full 7 collectors in a 7-10 hour period (While I was asleep or at work). I have three feeders, that I would fill to the brim before going to bed or to work, and usually they'd use about 1.5 of them throughout the time away.
A couple days ago, everything seemed to change. I'd be lucky to fill up 2 meat collectors while at work (about 10 hours) and 1 meat collector while asleep (7-8 hours). They would still use about 1.5 feeders worth of food. I also pet them and nibble them every game day I'm playing. Last night, thinking maybe the pig/collector ratio was too high, I took away 1 collector, it was now at 6 collectors and 26 pigs. This morning, 7-8 hours later, I had 1 meat collector full, and they ate about 1.5 feeders worth of food. I didn't think that it would help, since I had 7 for a week or two no problem.
So, why are my pigs being so stubborn. Is there an age limit to pigs? Do I need to cycle fresh swine into my animal yard, let the old ones die off? They are all being Pet/Fed/Nibbled constantly, yet now, over the last two days, they don't give up their meat to the collectors.

- Can't help you - I have the same problem. 3 meat collectors and 3 milk collectors that usually fill overnight. This morning 1 of each full and the other two of each completely empty.
  Edit: Didn't see Niks post as we were composing at the same time. That post makes mine superfluous.

- I'd like to add that I'm having the same issue and I first noticed it when I got home from work yesterday afternoon. I have 5 meat collectors and they're usually all full when I get home from work. Yesterday, however, only 1 was full and the rest were empty.
  The situation has repeated itself this morning when getting up for work. Never experienced this before yesterday.

- According to the news feed on the left of the forums, this problem *should* have now been fixed. 'Should' being the operative word there, because I'm still experiencing meat collecting issues this morning.
  *Sniff* *Weep* :(

- Working for ...ridículos amounts of meat in the hoppers (maybe adding those 3 pigs,was a mistake).
  Are your collectors spaced out?

- Mine still seem to be having issues. Same with my feeders, seems they are barely eating from it.

- This morning the problem still persists. Currently liaising with Kevin via a bug I reported about it, so they're on to it still.
