Who else thinks they should be able to pick up poop when wandering?!

Only upgrade weight

Tame a Phioma(Those fat gray pigs) and give them stim berries because they will start pooping a ton and you can fill your dung beetles that way for more fertilizer

This may sound weird but I think they are really cute

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 meat😁

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)

For Ark Mobile: When filling their inventory with poop, temporarily put a weight collar on them. You’ll be able to fill them up with more poop than usual. When you’re done, make sure to take the collar off. The beetle will still be able to make fertilizer and oil even though they are encumbered.

Phioma + Dungbeetle = infinite fertilizer

Place poop in their inventory, it will give you fertilizer and oil. Make a small pen then place them inside. Then put the worry of oil and fertilizer away.

After you use them for fertilizer and oil for awhile they will get hungry. They eat spoiled meat :)
