Constipated piggies

I've been feeding the piggies in my garden, and they're not passing any piggy plop with seeds. Trid giving one 20 corn, and no plop, no seeds. Have the requirements changed?

  • In Ur corn does not grow in gardens or fields, it is harvested directly from the crops of chickens. You'll also find the piggies do not plop bean seeds because beans grow on trees that are raised from seasoned beans. Glitchian philosophers probably spend ages trying to decide which came first, the been tree, or the seasoned bean.

  • Oiorpata, I think that you're thinking of grain, not corn - he should have gotten seeds if he fed him corn.

  • If you fed a piggy 3 or more of a single garden crop that's grown from seed (like corn) and there's no plop it must be a bug.  File a bug report.  BTW it's easiest to feed the piggies economically if you're carrying no more than 20 of the given crop when you go to feed them.  With 20 or fewer on your Glitch you will get the option to give them exactly 3 each time you select Feed.

  • corn and grain are English language "gotchas"

    In the US corn is maize
    In UK corn is wheat. 

    Piggies only plop seeds that can be planted in gardens.  So if you want a plop, you'll have to stick to garden produce.  Corn (maize) is a garden crop.  Grain (wheat) comes from chickens.

  • I think they'll only plop if you feed them three crops one a time.  The key to it is "one a time".  (I've tried to feed them 30 of one crop to make it a faster process and there was no plop.

  • I'm glad someone posted this thread because I've been feeding my piggies grain, not realising that won't result in plops!

  • To get a plop you can either:

    a) feed a single item of a single crop three times in a row (by selecting "just one")
    b) feed three items of a single crop once (by selecting "3")

    If you feed more than 3 at at time, you still only get one plop.

  • ^^WindBorn sounds correct here - I may have fed the piggy 30 items and received 1 plop, but that's not 10 plops like I was expecting!  :-D

  • I just go by what the game calls things. There's an item named grain and an item named corn. Simple, no chance for confusion that way.

  • And some of us still can't see piggie plops!  If you see in local chat that your piggie has plopped you probably have the "invisible plop" bug that I have.,  Friends can come in and examine them for you.  Then you can pick up the seeds.

  • @Marla - I'm so sorry you caught that bug!  I hope it's not contagious!
