Simply tame with poop (passive). Then only upgrade weight and fill it’s inventory with poop and you got a fertilizer and oil maker.

Place in a cage (you can access their inventory from a crouched position without opening the cage) in your greenhouse with a phiomia nearby and you’ll never worry about fertilizer again.

On aberration they can be found at blue zone, go near poison red shroom and enjoy yourself being poop maker.

These things are AWESOME at getting fertilizer for farms. They got me four bags from one beetle before my decomposing bin could even get 1. Absolutely essential tame for farmers.

They can't eat massive animal feces, their code doesn't recognize titanosaur poo as food.

You can use large creatures for poop just sprint and attack something while riding them and they will poop fast cuz they consume their food, but phiomia are much effective i think cuz of the comments here.

I don't really use them so i won't waste a tame slot.

Lost island? Head to middle of dessert. You’re welcome. Take a Rex or Giga and get tons of chitin and organic poly while wandering around.

Using a Griffin, pick up the Dung Beetle with your hands and get on the Griffin, doesn't make you drop the beetle.

Get a couple of these. Place them in a 4x4 box 30 pillars high and they DO NOT move while on wander. I have 25 of them and I produce oil for an alliance

Often Seen Near Green Obelisk on Extinction. On the path beside the Canyon.

they attack when you hit them, but they usually don’t have much health nor melee- just stab it with a spear or whatever you have. they’re great tames so there’s really no point to kill them, tho.

good luck survivors <3 !

My dung ate my newly hatched sarco. Devastated.

Be sure the beetle is on wander or else it will make no fertilizer. If it is encumbered, in my experience, it did not make any fertilizer .

You can find dung beetles in the LOST ISLAND DESERT, meaning that they'll be easy to see. There’s lots of aggressive creatures, but you can easily kill them with a fast but strong creature.

Always enable wandering and keep in a cage

Has one use

Living compost bin

On Aberration, collect many as possible and start a oil farm. Great way for early game oil collecting otherwise hunt Triobites.

Use Biggest poop you can find. The bigger the better.

Wanna upgrade other stats? Listen well! Grab a tamed beetle fill your own inventory with all the poop that phiomia produces lock you and your beetle in a cage. Set his ass to Aggressive and unclaim it. Let it murder you and it'll have all the poop from your inventory. Reclaim it and wallah. Now you can increase its health

I was in a cave trying to tame a megalosaurus And a arenao came out of no where I was attacking it I

Accidentally hit a dung beetle and it started attacking me
