Late Game Poop and Ash management.

[Cincy_Jessie]

Hello, I am in year 4 and am at a point where 4 composters cannot keep up with the amount of poo my clanfolk and cattle/sheep etc are producing. I am constantly out of ash and straw because of the composters working 24/7. I have over 300 bags of fertilizer and constantly sell it when merchants visit. Is there a way or setting where we can have the animal poo left in the fields to decompose (and how to remove it from the barn) and save the composter for the clanfolk poo only?

Thanks for any suggestions.

You can change the settings on a composter to regulate what your people can put in it. You may have to catch it at a point when it is able to accept material (i.e., not processing a batch, and not waiting for the sack/straw/ash).

Which is why i think there needs to be a better way to handle manure. I could care less about poo in the middle of nowhere, but yeah go ahead and pick the poo in the barn. I also put in a suggestion for a pasture stockpile where poo is not picked up.

What about leveraging the 'stockpile' mechanic to enable manure collection? Create a new 'manure' zone and use it to zone any areas where you want the stuff picked up from, so inside barns and the like

Unzoned areas would be ignored.
