Egg N Poop Collector / Incubator
Dung beetles
Will stacked feces be processed by dung beetles? Related to possible bug: I've noticed they don't properly fertilize crop plots - the fertilizer amount will increase but won't actually be used (that I've noticed) and apparently doesn't count towards the actual amount of fertilizer, so the crop will revert in health if the stacked feces is first (not sure if this is intended).

It's probably already been suggested but would it be possible to have feces automatically distributed to beetles? It could be considered OP - which imo is kind of true - but at the same time I feel like one of the best things about your mods is it makes singleplayer (esp. late-game) actually bearable. This would also complicate the item flow from collector -> silo -> compost. A possible solution would be to just weight beetles equal to compost bins when considering distribution - alternatively have a separate silo type for beetles only, with the collector evenly distributing feces across silos (or, if dung beetle distribution - exclusively or not - is a toggleable option on the silo, just have a single type of silo).

Cheers for the great mods, keep it up :)

I notice everytime this mod updates the dung beetles stop producing. Is there a reason for this?

my server the dung beetles still produce with out issue with this mod. I have found that even with out the mod the dung beetles will stop but if you put in a human poop in they start right back up it is an Ark issue and not an issue with the mod.
