Tips & Strategies

For me they are 1 of the most usefull tames since they can produce oil to power your generator without u having to go underwater with your sea shepperd (thats the must name for any marine creature) and also giving u great amiunts of fertilizer. I find that 3 dung beetles are already enough to power a generator constantly and still giving u enough oil for jerky. They also produce enough fertilizer for a few plant x species and a small greenhouse (theoretically u would have never to leave your base). U have to put them on wandering and they eat meat. U might wanna put them in a cage so they dont wander off. I recommend lvling up their weight so that u can put more poop in and dont have to care about them very often.

Only upgrade weight
TIPP: (EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW)
1) They spawn inside the LOWER SOUTH CAVE and you can easily tame them up PASSIB using ROTTEN FLESH
2) If you put POOP inside their Inventory and let them WALK they will produce FRETILIZER and OIL after a period of time
3) I would recommend to JUST LVL UP THEIR WEIGHT so they can CARRY MORE POOP and PRODUCE more FERTILIZER and OIL
4) Build a small enclosure (or a box) for them to walk around inside it and also place a feeding trough filled with rotten flesh if you want
5) THEY CAN CLIMB OVER FENCES

This may sound weird but I think they are really cute
To the guy who said are these guys are rideable no they are not
Once you use them for oil and fertilizer they will get hungry so instead of wasting their weight for food keep a feeding trough nearby with spoiled meatπ
The Dung Beetle creates fertilizer and oil when he poop are in inventory. It must be wandering to produce. To remain at that spot, place it in a cage on a foundation (ceiling = drop)
One way to describe this creature:
Compost bin on cocaine
Ok so I'm on mobile and a question that can you actually ride these things like do they have a saddle ? Plz tell
Why does this thing has a saddle slot
These dudes are in the volcano area on Ragnarok. They passive tame(put poop in the last hotbar slot), so you can passive tame one to carry and one for your argy to carry and boom you got two dung beetles in one trip.
