If u put a unicorn poop in their inventory it lasts forever (or maybe a long time idk i haven't got to the end) and make LOTS of fertilizer

Add a variety of feces (in. Large, Medium and Small) to produce oil and fertilizer faster. They can convert multiple varieties at the same time but not multiple of the same.

You can also place them in wooden cages to keep them from wandering around while wandering to convert…

When it is tamed you can put it in a cage, 1x1 house or behind some rails then set it to wondering so it can't move anywhere to get away

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.

If you don't have access to am Argie you can tame it pick it up and fly away on a pteranodon while holding it.

My tribe has a larger 'wandering room' upstairs where we have multiple dung beetles and snails. They tend to naturally group up in the middle of the room so they're easy to manage. Just watch out, they can escape through an open door or glitch through the ceiling…

These bad bois are COMPOST MAKING MACHINES. They are a far better substitute for compost bins. Just keep upgrading weight and you’re good. You’ll eventually have a limitless supply of compost for your everyday farming needs

They will eat spoil meat so y’all don’t need to throw unused spoil meat in feeding troop.

Players can pick up the dung beetle THEN ride a Pteranodon for safe transport. Tried and tested on November 23rd 2017 at 12:35 a.m.

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…

Place in cage and set to wander. If you do not do this they will escape whatever enclosure you have them in.

If you want them to make fertilizer but don't want them to wonder off everywhere just encumber them and just keep them stocked up
