Details:
- Every farm animal, regardless of type, now drops manure every other day in addition to their main produce. They can be picked up simply by walking near them like debris items, or collected with an Auto-Grabber. If not collected (manually or autograbbed) they may disappear overnight.
- The manure can be composted in new machine, Manure Composter, which becomes craftable when reaching Farming level 2.
- Alternatively, they can also be turned into coal in the Charcoal Kiln, if you're not shorting on fertilizer.
- Barn animals drop Livestock Manure, which is rich in nutrients and organic material that can improve crop quality, while Coop animals drop Poultry Manure, whose high nitrogen content can accelerate crop growth. They can be composted into (Quality) Fertilizer and (Deluxe) Speed-Gro respectively.
- What about Hyper Speed-Gro and Deluxe Fertilizer? This mod introduces a new special order from Maru which requires collecting fresh fertilizer samples - make sure you have at least a full deluxe barn and deluxe coop before starting it!
- After completion, Maru will share her findings which will increase the composted fertilizer's tier up to Hyper Speed-Gro and Deluxe Fertilizer, and make them iridium quality (which sells for more, this has no gameplay impact). You'll also unlock the ability to mix in fish for Livestock Manure, or bones for Poultry Manure to increase yield even more. This makes manure composting a lucrative source of additional income on the side, especially for Deluxe Fertilizer and Hyper Speed-Gro.
- Finally, animals that have high friendship and fed a golden animal cracker have a very, very tiny chance of dropping a special item instead of manure 😉...

- 3 Poultry Manure (gold quality or higher) -> 5 Deluxe Speed-Gro (+1 if iridium quality)
After completing the special order, these recipes will be upgraded to become the following (the fish and bones are optional):
- 3 Livestock Manure + 3 Fish -> 5 Quality Fertilizer (+1 if silver quality, x2 if fish was used)
- 3 Livestock Manure (gold quality or higher) + 3 Fish -> 5 Deluxe Fertilizer (+1 if iridium quality, x2 if fish was used)

- Even More Immersive Manure: Defaults to false; if true manure will be physical objects that you have to collect by hand (like eggs), and will not disappear overnight if not collected by the farmer or an auto-grabber. As a side effect, this will make collecting manure grant farming experience.
Install Instructions (Important):
- Install Content Patcher, and the latest version of Extra Machine Configs and Extra Animal Configs.
- Then install this mod as usual.
- This mod is safe to install mid-save! Note that if installed onto an existing save, the animals will only start dropping manure the next day.
- Note that if not collected by hand or with auto-grabbers, uncollected manure items may disappear over time.
Uninstall instructions:
- This mod should be safe to uninstall mid-save, but all existing manure items will become error items. Feel free to trash them.
- In extremely rare cases, the manure item may be stuck inside the animal. This will be fixed the next time the animal makes its regular item, or you can try extracting them with the animal's usual tools.
Animal Compatibility:
- Every modded animal is compatible! Animals who are neither Coop or Barn animals will default to dropping livestock manure.
Building Compatibility:
- Every modded animal building is compatible! As mentioned above, their occupants will default to dropping Livestock Manure regardless of species.
- Not to worry though, Coop animals assigned to a modded non-Coop building will still drop Poultry Manure.
Other Compatibility:
- Visit Mount Vapius: You can use VMV's Composter to compost your manure! Because it is more expensive and available later, composting manure with them gives better yield (+1 more). Be warned that the VMV composter's indoor time penalty applies to this mod's recipes as well, meaning you'd need 2 days indoors! The base Manure Composter item is still useful so you can compost before visiting Mt Vapius, or if you want to compost indoors.
Recommended mods for an even more immersive ranching experience:
- Animal Husbandry: 'Butcher' your animal for meat!
- Chicken Feed: Feed your poultry proper food instead of hay meant for larger livestock!
- Golden Animal Cracker Extractor: Ehh...
