a new change:
Collectors in front home streets are now locked (not takeable or collectable from by others)
We can have our personal collectors in our back yards. But it would be really awesome to have a different option at the same time - locked down (not able to be picked up) collectors in front yard that can still be collected from for the people who wish to share their piggy bounty with others. That way instead of nibbling only, you could provide more meat for people who come by when the collectors are full, and still have the collectors be there to collect for the next person who comes along.
Making them locked in both ways (not takeable OR collectable from) removes a really good way to exercise an option that a lot of people intended in the first place when home streets came out - to share their resources with others. With the resource routes and other things, Glitchen have been really generous. And of course passers-by can nibble the piggys, but being able to provide more meat at a time to some people was really happy for me.
(And of course making them collectable from by others does not remove our ability to have other additional collectors in our house or back yard for our own private use.)
