How do pigs poop?

[Talon]

I do not have a worker so I have to run back myself and gather it I guess. So how do pigs poop? Is it seasonal, daily and what does it look like? What am I looking at when searching on the ground? - screen shots please.

I want to know what the mechanic is to gather poop if you do not have a worker?

funny but not helpful trying to figure out the timing for muking their poop up.

[empathy]

I think you HAVE to have a worker to collect the manure, it should show up in the bag in the pig sty.

So the changes to manure demand from the start make a newbie farmer screwed since they will not have the technology to create a pigsty for a bit as well as not having the charm to hire a new worker. This breaks farming at the start for sure. If you have to get a worker to get manure or purchase it at high prices then the devs screwed the pooch on this patch,

I don't know as I just got chickens unlocked. Haven't got to piggies yet.

You need to assign worker for building sadly. Otherwise they will not produce any poop at at.

They really need to rework farming so badly, its to hard for beginers.

The devs don't seem very bright when it comes to design and fixing stuff, as they break 10 other things by fixing 1 lol

Yeah they need to think about how they break mechanics especially when it comes to bringing in new players this harms their ability to get more people in to support the development and will kill them by word of mouth.

You need worker assigned to pigsty. You need food for worker in food storage and wood (i keep there sticks, logs and firewood, cause not sure, what they use) in storage. I am not sure 100%, but if you miss one of those, manure number wont go up. At start manure was collected in bag at pigsty. Now it all goes to box at storage.

It might force a newbie to restart once they've got their heads around basic concepts but it is perfectly possible to get 2 fields 5x5 sown with flax. I managed that on a restart but it's a close run thing and you have to give it some thought. No stealing involved either.

I mean you need a scythe which is 570 to start with? My first field seemed plowed as well, only after i let it sit for a while without planting the first crop did it require manure, which you can also buy.

I just bought 60 manure from money made with 20 minutes of berry picking. That's 5 x 12 fields.

Something they could add to hunting is when you kill a boar or wisent and maybe even a dear. You could collect their poop for use in the fields...

um guys stone knives are easy to get the resources for and its 11 gold each that you sell and 10 gold per unit of manure you can carry enough knives to buy enough manure for a 5X5 field but can't even carry that much manure without being encumbered unless you have nothing else in inventory at all

yeah well I am doing 3 fields 3 of them with 300 flax seeds or 3 with 300 wheat seeds - that's alot of manure and an incredible waste of time when it was much easier the other way- I would get like 3500 crops when i harvest in summer. That works out to 3-6 hoes. and like almost 12k harvest. More with flax- hauling that much manure takes a full season. Its time wasting farming should be self sustaining. This was not the time of the middle man- it was the time of sustainable farming.
