Used to craft

Feces are produced by all terrestrial, aerial creatures, and humans in intervals, depending on the amount they eat.

Usage[]

Fertilizer

Feces can be used to produce Fertilizer Fertilizer, which can be placed on Crop Plots to grow crops. Feces alone can be used as Fertilizer, however, it is more effective to turn them into Fertilizer, which gives 54,000 fertilizer points.

To create one bag of Fertilizer, 3 × Feces Feces must be placed in a Compost Bin Compost Bin along with 50 × Thatch Thatch. After around 50 minutes these ingredients are turned to Fertilizer. They can also be converted more efficiently by a Dung Beetle Dung Beetle, which converts Feces into Fertilizer in 15 minutes (along with Oil Oil) and produces up to nine times as much.

Food

Feces can be eaten as it is technically classified as food. When ingested, Feces will do damage to the Health Health Pool.

Acquiring[]

All non-aquatic creatures produce feces. Feeding a Phiomia or Roll Rat stimberries can create a lot of feces in short time.

* When a plant has its maximum of fruits, it needs less fertilizer. As the fruits spoil after some time, leaving the plant in a non-full state for some time, these numbers are rather theoretical maximums.
