Compost Bin Storage Increase
Hi guys,
Does anyone else wish the compost bins could store more poop and thatch? Whenever i log off I leave it full and i can only get 2 fertiliser back when i log in again. if poop stacked in 5's or 10's, or if the bins behaved like large storage boxes it would make life less hassle, as I wouldn't have to keep an eye on the compost every hour or so to keep it running and could just leave it full and come back to it when i needed it. This wouldn't make anything easier or more difficult gameplay wise, and should be fairly easy for devs to implement. Let me know what you guys think!

I think poop should stack with small having the largest stack size and fertiliser bags should stack as well.

3 poop of any size + 50 thatch = fertilizer, each fertiliser have different value (3 large isbetter than 3 human)

And you can directly use poop for lesser fertilizer effect, but a dodo army poops largely enough.

I only use fertiliser on 3x large and put them in crop when I'm about to get offline, otherwise normal poop do the trick.

yeah that would work, stacking something like 25 small, 10 meds and 5 larges together. I don't mind the fertiliser not stacking so much, as i have a locked box next to the composters for storage, but stacking them into 5's or 10's would be useful.

thanks pepper, I understand how the compost bin works, my issue is it only having 8(?) slots to put the thatch and poop in. It quickly fills up and then runs out in a few hours of being offline.

I wouldn't be surprised if they changed it if enough people cry about it, since they've changed/bumped so many other things already.

But I think the idea here is to make you use/manage resources. You CAN build more than one (so it costs you some time gathering and building one).

Personally I would prefer that they not make the entire game 100% easy mode - we already have minecraft and other wannabe survival games for that.

Onlye make x3 large feritlizer, and only use them when you are about to get offline, when you are here, with only a few tamed dino, you should be largely good for 4-6 crop. Worst case scenario : Dodo poop army.

Understood completely Jolly, My idea wouldn't make the game easier would it? All it would do is stop me having to log in every few hours to restock the compost bin or having to check on it whilst playing. Real bins are fuel and forget for ages. I'm not asking for the bin to make more fert, just to make the bin have more 'room' in it for poop and thatch.
