ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Byfar the best strat for getting maximum fertilizer, first get yourself a Phiomia and slot cap yourself with feces or as much as you want, next take off all of your armour, then set dung beetle to neutral, and victim item collection, unclaim beetle, hit it and then it will aggro to you as if it was wild, but still with the settings you left it on, let it kill you, it will collect all of your inventory of feces which can be hundreds instead of 12 or whatever itβs base weight is, this is called over capping and since youβve slot capped it, it wonβt be able to move! So set it to wandering and it will just sit in one spot while making you fertilizer! I hope itβs helpful (PSA unclaiming isnβt always an option, so make sure you know your server rules, it works on official tho! Hope this helps!)
More Dung Beetle Utility Tips
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

In ASA, they now have the ability to collect poop remotely and the range is based on overall level.
This may sound weird but I think they are really cute
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
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)
After you use them for fertilizer and oil for awhile they will get hungry. They eat spoiled meat :)
Get yourselves a Phiomia as well! Feed it stimberries and you'll have plenty of medium feces to throw in the dung beetle. Fill it up, and come back and watch more fertilizer than you can imagine. I'll never use compost bins again!
These things are insane in ark Asa, I had a level 25+ and overnight on a base ark server it made 130 fertilizer.
Really good tame for farms if you pair it with a phiomia
