Dung collection in ocean?

[IamMokume]

Heya, just started playing this again to see the ocean, and I love the look of it! One question, I noticed my dung collector didn't gather anything the last time there was an opportunity; do they not function in the ocean? Maybe it's just not buoyant enough...

... maybe Onbu ate something or got sick?

Just to explain, I was managing other buildings when I saw the notice that Onbu had cleared their bowels. I finished what I was doing, then looked in on the collector and saw the building had nothing in storage. So I don't know exactly what happened; it's possible the worker left the building at just the wrong time. I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed a quirk of ocean travel.

If I recall correctly, in the ocean the dung collector doesn't work.

I mean... the place where the stuff comes out is underwater, soo...... there's no dung to collect :D

Cheers,
Markus

That's what I wanted to know, thanks! Might be good to add a note to that effect somewhere in the game, since dung by-products are important to our brave wanderers!

If you look at the dung collector building while you are in the water, it says something like "0% efficiency" I assume the poo just kind of floats away and we can't get it.

The actual icon says 'Low Productivity' with no explanation. At the time, my village morale wasn't great so I thought it was a worker issue. A little clarification there would be great.
