Figured out it will eat dodo kibble if it’s hungry once tamed

Great on Abberation since it’s more difficult to get oil there.

Wish they would wander around and collect the poop themselves.... they are dungbeatles

Amazing source of fertilizer and oil. We have a big farm and one keeps up easily.

Yes this thing needs filling with poop to get the fertilizer but that's not what it eats. This thing needs meat to survive. So always put a stack of meat in them or it will starve.

2 of these and one phiomia will solve your fertilizer problems for one moderately sized farm

If you are trying to get this guy. they live in caves and a passive tame they eat poo.

Eats spoiled meat only. And also eats from troughs. And your free oil generator. Also a big arse to tame. You literally have to be careful in caves not to hit these guys or you’ll be shredded.

Level weight and melee. Makes fertiliser quickly. Feed it poop from inventory. Spoiled meat from feeding trough. Put it in a cage on wander to produce.

Must have for fertilizer, pared with phomia best way to get fertilizer

Crossbow plus grapple hook is the best way to transport these things. Hop on a Ptera and fly off with the dung beetle hooked to you
