    @brief
        The PickupCollection combines different @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupables" (more precisely @ref orxonox::CollectiblePickup "CollectiblePickups") to a coherent, single pickup and makes them seem (from the outside looking in) just as if they were just one @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable".

        A PickupCollection can be created in XML as follows:
        @code
        <PickupCollection>
            <pickupables>
                <CollectiblePickup ... />
                ...
                <CollectiblePickup ... />
            </pickupables>
        </PickupCollection>
        @endcode
