are there any errors?

I've noticed that only one animal can drink from a trough at a time, which makes big farms a bit scarier than they should (?)

you can build a second trough

i have the same problem and no error pop up, just seems like he said, only 1 animal can drink at a time and a "second" trough is not the answer since i have 10 and still have animals dying of Dehydration... so yeah, its really bad for big animal farms, specially if those animal explode when they die. So, trying to keep over 100 aerofleet hydrated is extremely hard.

This is the problem. Since each animal that goes to drink "locks down" the trough the whole time no matter how far they have to walk to get to it, troughs tend to spend most of their time seemingly "idle". Depending on how big your pen is and how many animals you have in the pen, you need WAY more troughs than you think you do, like 1 per every 3 or 4 animals in the pen at least, and god forbid you get a heat wave.

What would easily rectify this problem would simply be to let more than one animal drink out a trough at a time. Not unlimited, but enough so that the "walking to it" part balanced out with the number of animals actively drinking so troughs would stay fully "in use" most of the time, so to speak.

I'm also having this problem, chickens constantly getting dehydrated because only one animal can use it at a time, I don't think building more than 8 through or water bowls in a pen is practical
