Dung Beetle Collection broken?
I just tamed up a pair of dung beetles in my game and noticed something odd. One beetle seems to be collecting all the poop no matter what. I have tried moving them so that it was further away from my dinos, but it still kept taking everything. Anyone else experienced this or know of a way to fix it?

I have 2 and they're both doing well. make sure they're on wander.
I put mine in a little 2x1 pen with rails.

Sometimes it helps to pick the one up that isnt doing anything and dropping it again. That seems to "reset" it so it will do what it needs to do

It's bugged as hell. Did my first cave, Lower South, got my first Beetle. His inventory fills with more poop than is available from a dozen dinos. Delete it all and it immediately fills in. Magic poop. Which is cool and all, but I want fert and oil. Also, I like many in ASE, I never once had a bug in that game with a Beetle. Go figure.

I have 5 dung beetles. All are set to not collect feces, though one did it anyway. I picked that one up and put it back down, and it stopped collecting. But another started!
