Softbody issue

[Lown_c]

This problem was sorted by increasing the shape scale.

But intersecting particles/cans is an issue i can't seem to solve.  Does anyone get many replies to problems on this forum?

Really struggling with overlapping particles/cans?

I really could do with some advise @admin

this is the animation so far

I tried adding a Fuse operator because i thought that maybe the issue is happening as they are birthed?

So i tried particle age for a few frames but it seems to delete too many particles.
I want to be able to fill up the box/room with cans,  any ideas on what i maybe doing wrong?
I am a complete noob at this so maybe missing something obvious?
