What to know

  • Poop is a collectible crafting resource used to make fertilizer at the Farmer’s Workbench (10 poop per batch).
  • You get poop by interacting with farm animals, most commonly by shearing sheep or milking cows; the player character never produces it directly.
  • Animals must be alive and active in the world for poop to drop, so setting up a small farm makes collection consistent.
  • Sheep are the easiest early-game source, but cows and other farm animals can also contribute using similar interactions.​

In Hytale, poop is more than just a funny collectible, it’s a key resource for advancing your farming. By interacting with farm animals, like shearing sheep or milking cows, you can gather poop and use it to craft fertilizer at the Farmer’s Workbench. Fertilizer speeds up crop growth and boosts farming efficiency, making it an essential part of building a productive farm and powering your progression in the game.

How Poop works in Hytale

In Hytale, Poop is a collectible resource rather than something your character produces. It’s obtained by interacting with farm animals, most commonly by shearing sheep or milking cows.

Its main purpose is crafting fertilizer at the Farmer’s Workbench. Each batch of fertilizer requires 10x poop, making animal farming an important step toward faster crop growth and more efficient farming overall.
