Maxed out stack?

I used to have a problem keeping up with nets & lobster traps. No more! To solve this, I sent Tom out for lobsters a few times in a row, made nothing but nets & lures and now I have a massive stockpile. So now I'm back to making traps & nets using 3 holes for traps, the two front ones for lures (because they refresh after 1.5 hrs so I'm garunteed to pick up 2 quick fish whenever I stroll by) and the rest of the holes for nets. Ok so here's my problem. My tackle box (90 or so spots) remains full & i just stockpile lures & stuff outside the bench. I just went to place a few more lures in the production slots and got a message saying "production queue is full" but it clearly is not and it will not allow me to make anymore lures. Does anyone know if there is a limit to the amount of stuff we can stockpile outside the machines?

Neen, yes, there's a limit to how much we can stack outside the machines. I believe that the limit on the farm is 52 items, but I'm not sure about the river. I currently can't make any more fishing lures because I have a big fat stack in front of the machine, but fishing annoys me so much I only do it here and there (I use a lot of nets). Not so with the lobster/net maker because I use so many nets and traps each day.

There was a time my sugars were maxed out, but not anymore! :(

OK, the short answer is yes, there's a limit to how much you can stack outside each machine. :o

I recommend you continue expanding the tackle box, once your silo is at a good capacity (they use the same materials to expand). This helps barn to have a breather when the materials go to the tackle box. I am up to 190 now, and will continue to use this tactic. So far, tackle box expansion takes fewer of the items than silo expansion. When my barn gets stuffed and the silo needs too many more to expand, this is the first thing i try. Enjoy!!

I agree with bqbowers.

Also, now you need to fish more using lures to make more lures.
I suggest you to keep the swampy area for lure fishing.

The answer to your question might be 52.
On the farm 52 is the limit as shealie said. This might be same in the fishing area too.

Why ?

The coin return on selling SEM outweighs the need for 175 lures that you can't even use within 7 days if all you did was fish at every moments notice that a fishing spot opened up. Hell trade SEM for BEM and expand your barn, that's the real prize. My tackle box for instance holds 20 things. I currently have 44 fish & 45 lobsters tails in reserve, I have 6 more lobsters waving at me & 2 floating and I have 12 lures & 2 more cages ready and I don't sink any boats requiring them.

There is zero incentive for being able to hold 200 lures / nets / cages. You're simply wasting valuable trading equip for the purpose of hoarding things you simply can't & don't even use.

I disagree.

My tackle box is only 80, but I hope to get it up to 200 one day. I know people who do have tackle boxes that big, and yes, they need them.

Why? Because they want a large stockpile of every kind of lure, as well as nets and traps. People who are serious about fishing (looking to fill up their books and get records, not just looking for filets) like to keep a lot of lures on hand. Certain lures are needed for certain fish, and they want to be ready in case of a fishing event.

Often, people in this situation do not need any more coins and their barns and silos are bigger than they need. So why not expand the tackle box?

Oh, and there definitely is a limit to how many lures you can stack. I have run into it many times myself.

Thx guys, this was a first for me. Guess there is always a limit :)

There might not be a limit to the mine. I have never run into it, anyway, and I've stacked hundreds of ores.

Everything else, there seems to be a limit.

I seem to remember reading somewhere here that there is no limit to how many ores you can stack. Glad for that! I love harvesting ore after ore after ore after ore after ore...

And I think I might have to expand my tackle box after reading the responses here. Mine is up to 50 which is fine for every day but I always run out of lures during fishing events. Now watch me not harvest any more SEMs... :)

Yeah, that's actually what got me started on accumulating lures. During the fishing events i forego all nets and fish every hole. Well, we all know how long that will last if you're making lures as you go. Not long at all. I have about 80 and I think I want more... :)

Well for me there is an incentive. Gold coins are of no interest to me anymore, and I do not even notice them, truly. What I like about expanding the tackle box is that it is instant relief to my barn. Presto! Whew!
Lol

and I am ok with being gradual about expanding both barn and silo now that I have this tackle box "valve." Just my two cents.
