  • 15 pigs = 3 feeders.
    20 should be 4...
    20 seems to be the max, in the pen...
    Might be able to put more in the second floor? Where's  ★GOD★ when you need him?

  • I have 25 piggies (max) and six meat collectors with four feeders. However, lately, I have been less and less being online, so I might recommended for six feeders. Make sure you have a lot of grains available.

  • Well I have 8 feeders and 4 piggies. If you go away for a long time you'll always be safe.

  • LOL yup those 4 little piggies will definitely be safe if you leave them!

  • I don't use grains in the feeders.  I use whatever produce is available, usually broccoli. Pigs love it
    or so they tell me ;-P

  • simplest to just fill the feeders with meat.  So far there have been no reports of mad swine disease.

  • you can also use cherries in the feeders, which are easy enough to find.  I have 20 piggies, 2 feeders and 5 collectors, but I am on at least once a day to collect and refill the feeders.

  • I recommend 10 collectors ~30 piggies spread throughout the three levels, and 8-12 feeders. 6 will hold you over for ~2 days, but honestly it's best to plan for the unforeseen :)

    This set up maximizes overnight meat production. All ten collectors will be full after you return to the world. You might even be able to push up to 11 or 12 collectors :) Experiment!

    As far as butterflies, just keep stuffing them in until they start complaining of crowding ;) At that point dump 3-6 milk collectors. 3 if you want to replace the butterflies (Milking them will kill them) every two-three weeks or 6 if you don't mind replacing them every week to a week and a half or so.

    Hope that helps!

  • 6 piggies, 2 feeders, 8 collectors.
    6 Butterflies, 6 milkers.

    This setup gives me almost 2 days leeway if i'm not able to get to them, or just don't feel like it.
    Why skimp? I have my feeders, collectors, etc. sitting nearly on top of each other--very much overlapping--they all collect just fine. RemoteHerding tools are cheap.

  • Hmm.. 27 piggies for a long time now - with 6 collectors.  Can't seem to fit in more than 15 butterflies (4 collectors) no matter how much I empty the collectors or massage my little winged friends.  Maybe every house is not the same.  Same for piggies.. tried putting them outside the pen but they still complain about crowdyness.  For this many beasties, 6 meat + 4 butterfly collectors is enough for me since I log in at least twice a day.

  • 30 piggies with 10 collectors  and 11 butterflies with 3 milkers
    All the piggies are in the pen
    If the collectors are on top of one another they don't work for me (this is a known issue and doesn't affect everyone)
    I have no chickens in the house
    41/42 seems to be the limit on the number of total animals.

    I was away for 4 RL days and left the piggie feeders full and came back to just one dead piggie.

  • Thanks IrenicRhonda.. at least that explains why I can't seem to fit in more beasties since I have 42 total :)  (I have no chickens either).
