Why is my stable overcrowded?

[Tzunki]

I have 3 Lumb (16 * 3 = 48) and 4 Mimika (8 * 4 = 32). That's only 80 cells. There are no eggs in the stable either.

The lumbs will be overcrowed if <room size> / <total critters> is less than 16. The mechanic is unintuitive (and I think should be changed), but basically each critter assumes all the critters in the room need the same amount of space as it does.

Thanks for sharing this! I can't believe I missed that detail—even after spending 2957 hours in the game. Always something new to learn!
