Hey, is there a list for the gamesettings.ini?
Dorchet Jan 13, 2021 @ 12:36pm 
do they have to go up to the poop or is it a area like the troth?

Hi, is there a command to spawn these guys in once the mod is installed?
Blood Bath May 14, 2019 @ 8:41pm 
awesome mod, is there a spawn dino command for this? i really dont feel like going to re-tame all my beetles and more so hunt for them in caves

seems to be still working with the 5th of March Stream & Homestead Update

Does this still work?
Trappstar Nov 9, 2018 @ 10:32pm 
doesnt work, or at least i dont see any smart beetles and used the destroydinos command. i did use the command to spawn dung beetles. is there a different command to make these ones spawn instead?

I never subscribed to this mod and somehow it installed itself. i found it just now on my mods list. am i being hacked??

Could it be, that you can't carry Smartbeetle with Argentavis?
sismir Feb 16, 2018 @ 5:51am 
does it work on abberation?
Torres Feb 16, 2018 @ 3:08am 
Rated up and faved, pity their range is so little but great to have with phiomias in a 6x6 fenced area. 10/10.

WONDERFUL MOD!! Used on RAG and THE ISLAND.
Darkkiller4ever Jan 26, 2018 @ 2:56pm 
Will mod also works on Aberration?
DaemonLee Dec 25, 2017 @ 10:45am 
I love this MOD, could we get an Aberration update? I also S+ and have no problems, I love this mod for immersion purposes and wish that Ark would update their beetles with the same option!
Vas Nov 21, 2017 @ 1:58am 
I've decided to remove this mod cause its incompatible with S+ and it has the rage of a single foundation for collections... >.> Thats the primary reason though. I mean really? One foundation range?
EmpressPheonix Nov 17, 2017 @ 6:20pm 
Can you please update this mod ASAP? I really want to use it but it isn't up to date.

Hi, I know people have asked if this is still working, but I've got my beetle on wonder he picks it up just fine, he's just not turning it in to fertaliser, I have tryed several things that are supposed to fix it but I'm not sure what to do?
PS. yes it it a smart bug we had this loded since we made the server.

They are on wander, got plenty of weight but they dont generate fert :(
Jorrekreaver Sep 5, 2017 @ 4:12am 
Is this still working after release?
Moop515 Sep 2, 2017 @ 6:31am 
once again, good question
The Noob Sep 2, 2017 @ 6:30am 
Is this mod compatible with "Insect Plus" mod?
MarsayF0X Aug 31, 2017 @ 7:54am 
You need to set it to wander. =D
Erlkönig Nero Jul 16, 2017 @ 2:28pm 
This mod on my server only pick up poop, do not produce fertilizer and oil. Does anyone have idea?
.sPafT Jul 6, 2017 @ 8:04am 
works on ragnarok ?
Deranged Jun 15, 2017 @ 6:56pm 
Still Working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to kill all beetles alive then you will get the smart beetles!
Awesome mod! Great Job keep doing well! :)
Chanou May 16, 2017 @ 10:32am 
not working anymore :/
commanderlabelle May 14, 2017 @ 2:25am 
hi there! Would it be possible to create a mod that either disables robbing (some birds are stealing really valuable things from us all the time), or that lets you pick/exclude certain dinosaurs from the game? That would be awesome!!
Vas Apr 7, 2017 @ 10:49am 
Whats the collection range? Because beetles walk through fences and such when you leave them on wander, thus you need to put them in a player cage when you leave them on wander 24/7 because its the only thing they can't noclip through while you walk away.
xyks Feb 25, 2017 @ 6:15am 
Is this mod compatible with extinction core? Kind of afraid to mess up spawns...
chewychunga Feb 21, 2017 @ 11:33am 
Having same problem.. is this effected by stacking mods at all? Think that was when I noticed problem start
And I've tried all thoes things even tamed new ones... have a normal one that seems to work fine
Feen Feb 19, 2017 @ 2:42pm 
Yes, It is well known that they do that. Just pick it up and throw it. That generally works. Punching it in the kisser sometimes helps too. Also you could take it off wander then put it back on wander. It will be a constant struggle to keep them working properly. Apparently the bug is in the vanilla Beetle and just got carried over to the Smart Beetle as well.
Violation Feb 18, 2017 @ 8:28pm 
Also is not overweight.
Violation Feb 18, 2017 @ 8:28pm 
has anyone had an issue where it collects 15 medium animal feces and then it stops moving / producing oil / fertilizer?

I would like it more if it was left the vanilla name but it's ok no big deal n.n Thanks i love mods like this and eggoraptor that just makes the game more fun towards multiplayer and ofc i believe if i was the dev i would have make them to do this from the start. Thank you !
Humpenstilzchen Jan 27, 2017 @ 4:07am 
Works like a charm, thx for this fantastic mod!
Feen Jan 19, 2017 @ 10:33pm 
Have you by chance considered making it so the Dung Beetle picks up Achatina paste as well? I mean it's the Achatina's waste, right? It would really be so helpful. :)
LeonaLens Dec 21, 2016 @ 10:06am 
Can't tame the Smart Beetle. Have the poop on "0", have text "press E to give poop" when I press E happens NOTHING!!! (Beetle isn't angry, "DoTame" command also do nothing)
Jules Dec 3, 2016 @ 1:21pm 
Great immersion feature, should have been how dung beetles work in the first place.
The Fury  [author] Nov 26, 2016 @ 6:20pm 
Mod still works - there is an issue in ARK that prevents this as well as the vanilla dung beetle from working after ahilwe.. if you scroll down past all the stupid server adds.. you'll come across some discussion about it.. here's the synopsis:

As mentioned a couple times now:
there is a bug in ARK itself that causes all bettles ( mine and vanilla ones) to stop producing... there are a few things you can do to junp start them: Turn off wander, pick it up, thrown it back down, turn wander back on ( and punch it for its insolence!)
vyvin Nov 26, 2016 @ 12:59pm 
Pretty sure this mod is broke, and it hasn't been updated in months...the author still updating it??
Nova Nov 24, 2016 @ 7:18pm

My Beetles make dung no more that 2 weeks, its broken?
ShinigamiAzza Nov 22, 2016 @ 11:13pm 
Hey just add mod to server and was wondering how to spawn so we can replace already tamed
Nostril Oct 30, 2016 @ 3:44am 
Is it broken?
My beetles have tons of dung but no more processing is going on
Duke Venator Mythis Oct 27, 2016 @ 4:15pm

In the description it mentions the new beetles will be called “Wild Smart Dung Beetles” I have installed the mod and wiped all wild dinos yet I do not see the Smart Dung Beetles spawn in. Is there any thing I may be missing?
