While designing my street, I ran into a problem with my animals. I couldn't decide what was the best way to organize my pigs. It seems like using the pig stick to control your animals solves some problems but creates others. And what might be good for the street owner, might be annoying for the street user.
I'm on a few routes, and I was just curious what most people thought about pigs, and what they preferred while visiting other people's streets. The main problem is that when you condense the pigs' travels it becomes more difficult to exhaustively harvest every pig, because they are difficult to click on and identify by sight or by name. But as their travels expand, especially during free roam, the pigs are easy to identify, but are in the way of other resources on the street, making it harder to click on a tree or rock.
I was just wondering what people preferred:
1 - Free roam. Medium herd. - Pigs are easy to identify and you can exhaustively nibble every piggy but they are constantly walking by resources.
2 - Pig Stick, widest zone. Small to medium herd. - Pigs are somewhat difficult to exhaustively nibble, but are conveniently grouped together, and away from most resources.
3 - The Pig Cube. Pig Stick, smallest zone. Extra large herd. - Impossible to exhaustively nibble, but easy to grab a fair amount of meat before giving up and moving on. Easy to keep away from resources.
4 - Use a Pig Cube or get rid of them. - I hate pigs getting in my way while I'm using routes.
Also, how often do you sneak in some pig nibbling or chicken squeezing while using routes:
Always
Sometimes
Never
To be clear: I'm wondering what you prefer as a user of others' streets. I'm just trying to be the most efficient and hospitable resource provider possible. Give the people what they want, and what will work best for everyone.
