Since ark ascended they now pick up the feces themselves. The range is actually ridiculous AND it won’t stop picking up feces even if it’s past its max weight. My dung beetle is 60/8 overencumbered and he still keeps picking up feces from all my tames without moving. Don’t even bother setting up a cage, the range for picking up feces is so broken they will overencumber themselves and stop moving in no time. And they’ll still pick up.

The little QoL turned this guy from a neat early game source of oil and slightly better bin for fertilizer into an actual 0 maintenance oil pump
