Poop is a crafting material in Forager needed for several important uses: completing the Fox’s quest in the Winter Biome (requires 500 Poop), creating Animal Feed, and crafting Landfill at the Flower Press to build land on water tiles.
Method 1: Feed Animals
The fastest way to get Poop is by feeding animals with Animal Feed. Here’s how:
Step 1: Unlock the Windmill
You need the Farming skill in the Foraging tree to unlock Windmills. Build a Windmill from the Farming section of the Build menu.
Step 2: Craft Animal Feed
At the Windmill, craft Animal Feed using:
- Flowers
- Jelly
- 2 Poop
Yes, this requires some initial Poop to get started. Animals produce small amounts naturally, or check Markets for Poop sales.
Step 3: Feed Cows
Use Animal Feed on Cows by right-clicking them. Each feeding causes the cow to drop multiple Poop, significantly more than the 2 Poop you used to craft the feed.
You can use Animal Feed on the same cow repeatedly for massive Poop output. Skills and buffs that increase resource drops will boost the amount further.
Method 2: Buy from Markets
Poop occasionally appears for sale in Markets in large quantities. Build multiple Markets and unlock the Supply skill to increase items for sale from 3 to 6. Check Markets regularly while gathering other resources.
Method 3: Natural Animal Drops
Cows naturally produce Poop over time without feeding, but this is very slow and not practical for gathering large amounts.
Bonus: Chicken Eggs
Animal Feed also works on Chickens, making them drop more Eggs. This is helpful if you’re trying to find the rare Golden Egg for the Museum.
