How long will items stay on the ground not being picked up? How many items can you have pile up at the base of the production equipment? Thank you in advance for an answer!

I think it will stay there until you move it. It is a way to store products when your barn is full. There may be a limit to how many can pile up, but I think it's pretty big.
I think they'll stay there indefinitely. I've used the ground as storage when my barn gets full, but it gets tricky. As soon as you have any free spots, it's very easy to accidentally pick something up. I read somewhere else that you can have up to 10 items next to each machine, but I think I might have had more at one time. Can anyone confirm the number?Quote:

You can store up to 99 items in front of each machine.
WOW!!!! Really??? Have you done it before? That would take a lot of patience and planning. I'm curious...Quote:

I usually pile up ores outside my mine till I know I have them in the 90s. Once your barn is full, use a shovel/tnt/dynamite and pick up another item (not ore obviously) to get the barn full again. Repeat. This allows me to use up extra mining tools and free up some barn space.Quote:

But this was discussed in the feedback thread and a couple of people reported it as a bug in the "bugs and issues" section after the update as they weren't able to queue items in spite of the production slots being empty. They were asked to pick up the items and after a certain nos of items picked up, the machines started to accept materials. So, there has been a change in the number of items that can be stacked outside the machine but I am not sure about the number.
I have ground stored at least 99 items for feed mills before the machine shut down and said PRODUCTION QUEUE FULL. It happens at least once or twice a day for me since I keep one mill dedicated to chicken feed. I've also maxed out the juicer, BBQ grill & bread oven, but I think the max number of item was around 50, though I can't swear to the exact number on those.
