About

The Dung Beetle is an invertebrate creature available in the base game with no DLC requirement. Its primary value on a server is passive resource conversion, when set to wander or placed in an enclosure with feces, it produces fertilizer and oil, reducing the manual workload for crop and fuel management.

Admins spawning or managing Dung Beetles should use the entity ID DungBeetle_Character_BP_C for targeted commands such as SpawnDino or DestroyAll. The name tag Beetle can also be used in commands that accept tag-based targeting.

Because the creature relies on a steady supply of feces to function, server operators running automated farms should ensure tamed dinos nearby are producing waste regularly. Dung Beetles are also commonly placed in enclosed pens to prevent them from wandering off the intended area.
