What is a dung beetle used for? dung beetle battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
For easy fert and oil, get loads of medium poop, set your ding beetle to neutral, only have poop in your inventory, disclaim the beetle then let it kill you, it should gather all the poop in your inventory with no weight restrictions. You can do this to slot cap it so no need to refill it every hour or so and no needed cages. Best way to farm and most time efficient. Can say it works as I use it all the time. Never needed to go oil farming with 7 of these. O P G O D
You should be training these guys in 2 things: Health (for the off chance of a predator attack) and weight. The weight part might seem pointless now, especially since it barely adds anything, but you want to be able to feed these guys as much poop as possible.
Besides, the higher the starting level, the better you will be able to increase a stat (example: Moschops tamed at level 1 weight upgrade: 15%. Moschops tamed at level 100 weight upgrade: 30%-35%.)
Besides, Dung Beetles are a key progression point in ARK. Don’t believe me? Well, you need to cook certain foods for certain quests, and most recipes require some kind of crop or berry.
The problem? Poop will eventually decompose and your crops will disappear, meanwhile fertilizer lasts a lot longer before needing to be replaced. So not only do you want one of these with high health and weight capacity levels, but you also want multiple to maximize output.
