where can you find manure?

hello all,

I wanted to build a farm, but it was saying I needed manure. Where can I find manure?

[Devilfish]

It's dropped by beefalo, doopey-looking buffalo-like animals. They live in savanna biomes. Alternatively you can feed pigmen non-meat food.

interesting, where can you find pigmen?

[DennisDK2]

search your map

I found some pig heads on a pike, I didn't think it'd be wise to activate that beacon thing in the center.

feed none-meat items to pigs and they drop manure or alternatively you can find buffalos in savana areas + you can find pigs anywhere they can be common on some maps but it can take a long time to find a hut and if you find a hut then threre WILL be a pig somwhere....

awesome, can they be hard to kill? I'd like to feed him some berries, then kill him for meat

Feed the pigs morsels (or meat, even monster meat, no need to cook anything) and they'll be happy to fight beefalo for you. (Also spiders, dogs, and anything else handy.) Build up a piggy entourage, go scouting for beefalo, then take a poke at one when no others are onscreen. (You'll need your pigs to see you swipe at him, but they usually stick close.) The pigs want to help their friend! You get beefalo meat, wool, perhaps a horn, and depending on how the fight goes there'll probably be some helpings of pig too. Mmmmm, bacon. And butter.

Usually my idiot happy pig followers decide they're hungry just before dark when I'm a long way from any suitable bait, so they cleverly eat the berries + carrots that are baiting my traps (I keep a bunch of traps active around headquarters). Instead of tasty rabbits, I get steaming piles of poo. Useful for farming, but it tastes terrible and you can't eat it. I get more manure than I can stand by keeping a couple of friendly pigs nearby. The flipside is that keeping the stupid happy pigs stupid and happy (and myself fed) can be a wee bit difficul at times.

IF I'M YOUR FRIEND, GOOD FRIEND, AND YOU LOVE FRIEND AND FOLLOW ME EVERYWHERE AND CHOP DOWN TREES AND FIGHT FOR ME, CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR AND LEAVE THE FREAKING TRAPS ALONE? TRUST ME ON THIS.

tl;dr: don't kill the pigs. Let the beefalo and other enemies kill the pigs, while the pigs kill them. You'll have manure out the wazoo, and plenty to eat besides. Assuming the waterheaded pigs don't snarf all your bait, that is.
