Hytale: How to Get Poop and Make Fertilizer
You can get poop in Hytale right now, but only through specific animal interactions, not passive farming. Poop drops randomly when milking cows or shearing sheep, and animals do not generate it over time. Baby animals also do not grow yet, which limits farming systems heavily.
The Clear Answer On Getting Poop
Poop is obtained by milking cows or shearing sheep, with a chance to drop each time. There is no automatic poop production, no feeding mechanic, and no way to force animals to produce it. If you want fertilizer, you must actively interact with animals.
Why Poop Feels Hard To Get
The animal farming system in Hytale is only partially implemented.
Animals do not age, breed, or produce waste naturally. This makes poop feel rare and inconsistent, even when animals are kept safely in pens.
Ways To Get Poop Right Now
Only a couple of actions can produce poop, and both rely on chance.
Milking Cows
Milking cows can cause poop to drop on the ground. It does not happen every time, so repeated milking is required.
Cows must stay alive long enough for this to be useful, which means proper protection is important.
Shearing Sheep
Shearing sheep also has a chance to drop poop. Like milking, this is not guaranteed and may take several attempts.
Sheep are easier to manage than cows early on, making them a decent option for fertilizer attempts.
Keeping Animals Safe For Farming
Animals can be killed even when fenced in.
Wolves can attack through low fences
3 block high walls stop attacks
Scarecrows placed near pens keep wolves away
Scarecrows are especially useful since they prevent attacks without heavy building.
What Farming Systems Do Not Work Yet
Several farming features exist but do nothing right now.
Baby animals do not grow
Animals cannot be bred
Feeding animals has no effect
There is no passive poop generation
Feeding benches can be found in the world but have no usable interface.
Final Blurb
Poop in Hytale is tied to active animal interactions, not automation. Milking cows and shearing sheep are the only ways to get it, and both are unreliable by design. Until animal growth and breeding are added, fertilizer farming stays slow and very hands on.
