Phiomia does not poop like crazy
I found this often asked, but never awnsered.
i tamed my phiomia and force feed him Stim berrys and got like 15-20 feces.
but now i press a whole stack stimberrys and get 3, 4 if im lucky.
it was without a change on the server.

can someone tell my if this a server stat?
we have no mods and it worked but now it does not anymore

Is his food stat drained?

That is likely the issue. Stimberries drain food very quickly and the pig mole needs to eat normal berries/veggies to gain food back before stims can be safely used again.

i put the lvls into food stat.
he has 27k and after i fed him 4 stacks of stimberrys he had 26k.
is this normal?

yes but he lost 1k food after 4 stacks stimberrys? i mean thats not much.... i thought he wuld loose way more

I tend to only tame low level ones so the food drains quicker for me. Rather, the number of stims I can feed is lower before I need to give it real food.

Regardless, it is normal for the phiomia to lose food when force feeding stimberries. The exact numbers I'm not sure of.

so do you mean if i would get a lower one, with low food, the poopmachine will work again?

Try uploading/downloading


Doesnt matter what lvl phiom you have.... they all make the same amount of poo.

Just stumbled across this issue as well. If I keep my finger on the button and mass feed him he wont poop. if i press each one individually he will.

try riding him while force feeding. Although phiomas are known to be the only creature that doesn't need to be ridden to get the effect. I force feed stims to rex's all the time to get the large poop. Pretty much all creatures do it, you just have to be riding them

I found that you need to set the poop interval to 1 for it to work.

This sounds like a case of thinking "Feed it stim berries to make it poop." while it is "Make it eat a lot of normal berries and poop a lot - by draining its food stat with stimberries.". Just a guess I never tamed these, bears way better.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
