What ARK players use the Dung Beetle for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Even though these dudes are superior, I highly recommend getting a compost bin just for storing poop for taming them because for some reason can never find enough poop. The compost bin prevents crap from degrading and the dung beetle especially loves human feces. this is the…

If put poop in this inventory it can produce fertilizer in 15 minutes

Dung beetles are like the mobile compost bin but better

Can you pick these up anymore? I tamed 2 in aberration and I can’t pick them up

I'm not sure if anyone has already said this, but on Aberration there are no phiomias. Roll rats can serve the same purpose, be force fed a ton of stim berries to get loads of poop. Just watch the hunger, cuz it drops quick!

These are the most underrated things for fertilizer. More reliable than a compost bin and they eat meat when tamed so you don't have to waste your precious poops when you have a pen of them.

Besides, the…

Put your beetles in a wooden cage so they don't wander off

Put the beetle in your greenhouse and shut the door. Fill it with doody and fertilizer is right there for your plants at all times.

Put all stats into weight=more feces will fit in his inventory allowing more fertilizer and oil produce while offline! Place on wander and recommend putting him in a cage!
