Animal Manure

Post by molenga »

Ok, so we all have read the topic where it was suggested that poo gets implemented into the game, winch is a terrible idea as it was presented.

But what about animals? Im pretty sure that the first thing people notice when entering a cows pasture is, besides the huge amount of ant hills, a vast sea of cow dung.

This cow dung is very fertile and is commonly used as a fertilizer, not to mention that all sorts of interesting mushrooms grow on it when it rains. ¦]

Can´t we have farm animals drop a piece of dung in the ground every now and then after eating? No debuffs, no ripped colons, just a piece of dung you can pile up into a huge pile of manure and can use to fertilize the soil, making crops you harvest on the soil grow faster and increse in quality a bit maybe?

Also, when you pick up a piece of dung you could have a chance of finding some curios, such as some shrooms, grubs, insects, etc...

While I support fertilizers as a mechanic... I don't particularily want this to become Ark:Survival evolved, where we are all crawling around in the mud fondling shit all day.

Sounds nasty, never played the game but seems like it is quite shitty.

But yeah, I dont think it should be something animals spam like crazy, maybe just drop 1 or 2 piles of dung per day? If they are inside their pens it wont mess up your base.

Also, only tamed animals drops poo, in order to prevent covering the world in shit.
