Stats don't matter but the level increases the pickup radius. Health would probably be the best option just in case they take a hit.

So the pick up range will increase as I level them?

Yep. Get some 150's and they can cover your base.

Also just a tip. I would use some wooden cages to hold them. Makes it easier to empty them without them wandering around. I have 3 in my base, each in a cage. I get a ton of fert and oil from them.

No need for cages now. Don't put a single point into weight, and they will stay in place while on wander. They pick up poop faster than you can empty the fertilizer and oil. Also no need fora dedicated sh*t machine (Phiomia).
You don't have to put them on wander at all. They immediately collect poop and produce oil just by sitting around.

I wish the Oviraptors (just for the egg boost) and Snails would behave the same.

Umm, its not the level that increases range of the poop pick up, its the melee damage stat. So yes technically it is kinda level based, but if you want greater range its in the melee stat, same goes with Oviraptor and its egg collection.

Melee damage increases pickup range of Dung and Oviraptors.

A quarter ceiling and wall can be used to keep the snails/dung/oviraptors in place while they are also on wander. make little stacking cubbyholes with a railing for a door.

That changed with ASA, pure lvl counts.

A lvl 400 Oviraptor has 9000 Unreal-units, arround 30 Foundation range
A lvl 225 Dung Beatle has 5000 Unreal-units, arround 16 Foundation range

How would you build this? I can't imagine how it would look like :thinking:

picture a cubbyhole style shoe rack.
or
take 2 half walls snap it to a foundation where you want to build (thats the back) and 3 more for the sides and a divider. the half ceiling makes the top of the lower cage and you just repeat as you go up *( for snails and dung beetles) ** use a railing for the door and you can just access the inv with out them getting out.

for the Oviraptor pick the spot you want to restrain it, snap a quarter ceiling into an existing foundation or ceiling (it does not break the original just over laps them) at your feet and guide the Ovi over or into that spot and use quarter walls to pen it in using the quarter ceiling below as the snap points.
