In ASA, they now have the ability to collect poop remotely and the range is based on overall level.

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

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 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)

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!

2021, they should be able to pick up poop while wondering..

One way to describe this creature:

Compost bin on cocaine

Phioma + Dungbeetle = infinite fertilizer

If your beetle stops making fertiliser. Try taking all the feces out of it. Then turning wandering off then back on. Then fill back up with feces. Worked for me many of times.

Put them in a wooden cage, and enable wandering. Then use a phiomia, and force feed him stimberries for him to literally unload his feces everywhere, and you use that in the dung beetle to get fertilizer.

Remember to always have it stocked with feces and the level does not effect the efficiency of his fertilizer making

To the guy who said are these guys are rideable no they are not

On Abberation you can set them on wandering and have a karkinos hold them and it still turns poop into fertilizer.

It’s a small tip but it might help some :)

PC players on Lost island- I found one really quickly in the estuary swamps down the way from the redwoods castle. Once you have one or a few they will make compost bins obsolete as they make compost way faster and added bonus of oil. It was surprisingly docile in those trees too. I’m always nervous to got down in heavy tree cover cuz I’m a scaredy cat and care way too much about my Dino’s but I just landed on my argy and walked around down there on the litter islands the slitting rivers make on their way to the ocean and found in almost immediately. Also on the north east side of that river there a small shallow pond where hecka Ovid spawn for me. Enjoy.

Get some weight on it and rapidly cap it with poop (medium works best) and take it back out. Repeat consistently and instant fertilizer. If you need poop, tame a phiomia and force feed it stimberriea.

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.
