Question(s) about Phiomia Force-Pooping with Stimberries

[vertigoelectric]

I've seen discussions about force-feeding stimberries to Phiomias to make them poop a lot, but it's not really working for me. I have three of them with plenty of regular berries for food as well as stimberries to make them hungry and over the course of probably half an hour I only managed to get one of them to poop once.

I'm wondering if maybe someone could tell me more specifically what conditions cause the Phiomia to poop a lot.

Force feed stim berries. Put berry in the inventory, hold E.

It so funny when you force feed a Phiomia to eat 2-3 stacks of Stimberries. You have like 1000 poops all over the place (towers of 10)

Stacks of stimberries gives phiomia a diarrhea. Beetles loves it!

I've tried force-feeding them tons of stimberries... several hundreds of stimberries. I guess I'll try even more. How long does it take before they start pooping?

Old video.

Thanks for the vid.

I'm still not getting the results I expect, though. I just fed a Phiomia about 600 stimberries and he only pooped once. Fed hundreds to the other two as well. One of them also pooped once and the other did nothing.

Do they need to be at full health? Other than food, are any of their other stat meters relevant to getting this to work? Does it matter what kind of "regular" berries I feed them?

Did you change settings at all? Whatsoever?

It still works fine, I am not sure why you are having trouble. Make sure they have a couple stacks of some other type of berry in their inventory so they don't starve, them mass force feed them stimberries. They should produce a huge amount of poo quickly. Phiomias poo a lot normally, so it isn't even just a stimberry issue, they should poo a lot more then once every half hour.

Do you have any creature mods? Or maybe an item mod that changes stimberries?

Does the dino food/stamina drain amount affect how much they will poop, because I have those values very low. I increased them a little but haven't tested enough yet to see if it's improved. I may increase it a lot to see if that makes a difference.

That is it. Creatures eat when they poop, so if they aren't eating, they aren't pooping. Stimberries work by lowering the creatures food level, so it has to eat to get it back up again. Stamina won't really effect them, but it will make creatures you are ridding around on poop less (Since food goes down when stamina recharges).

Well, they are eating. I guess maybe they just aren't eating fast enough?
But even with the dino food drain value low, the stimberries still drain their food level manually, so really it shouldn't be an issue, right?

So I increased food drain and also found a "poop interval" value I lowered to 0.1 and then all of the animals couldn't stop pooping every few seconds. I tried riding a Therizino for a bit and every few steps it had to stop to take a dump.

Soooo I think I found the relevant values, haha....

I remember there being a video showing what happens if you set poop interval to 0... Hilarity and your game crashing because of all the poo!!!

don't mess with the settings. L E A V E I T A L O N E! Seriously. Do not mess with those settings if you know what's good for you

Too late.
