How to make fertilizer?
So I hit level 10 and unlocked all the farming items, but i have no clue how to make fertilizer. From what I can gather from the internet is it is supposed to be created in a fertilizer pot, which i cant seem to find, unless it is unlocked later in the game. If that is the case, do crops grow without fertilizer?

All poop counts as compost for farming.

'Fertilizer' is the best kind, and is created from a Compost Bin structure. You add poop (approx. 3 Medium Dino Poop, not sure about other sizes) and 50 Thatch.

In my experience, it takes 1 - 1 1/2 in-game days sitting inside the Compost Bin to turn into Fertilizer. It's well worth it, as it's worth several times more 'poop points' to a Plot than anything else you'll find.

At low level you can make compost bin and put ANY kind of 3 poop + 50 thatch for 2 fertilizer.
But the best method now is Dung Beetle. They don't need thatch and produce insane amount of fertilizer plus oil.
But taming Dung Beetle is pretty risky at low level. If you have a good Argie, you can go to the cave and pick one out to tame.

You tear them out oof the body after knocking them unconscious. After they wake up they'll go on a killing rampage cuz they have no soul anymore and you will have unleashed death upon your world.

All so you could grow some mejoberries.

You need to put poop in a compost bin with thatch and wait for it to convert to fertilizer. Or get a dung beetle and put the poop in that instead.

In a Compost Bin Put 100 thatch and 6 Dino poo's (Best formula) that will make you 2 fertilizer till you get beetles.
