What is the use of making dinosaurs poop in Ark? - Man in Black Jacket and Red Knit Cap Sitting on Brown Dried Leaves

I'm kinda new to Ark, and exploring the (awkward) menus I've discovered that it's possible to force a tamed animal/dinosaur to poop. Why?

Is there any actual advantage for doing this? Or is this just an easy way to collect poop for the composter?



Best Answer

Fecal matter from your dinosaurs is useful.

Taming time varies from food to food; it takes nearly nine hours to tame a max level T. Rex using raw meat, but just under 2 with kibble. Fecal matter is useful for, indirectly, making this kibble, by using the feces as fertilizer. Acquiring the poo can be useful for taming.
