So Poppycock I said I was working on something like your cow poop collector and I would show up my work when I got to my PC.

Well here we go.

Pig Pod (Poop Overdriver Device) low foot print high poop output. Easy to build.

Ok so first this was my original idea using cows.

As you can see its kind of hard on the eyes. Also there is a cow in the middle and hes a pain to get in there even with a gravity gun. I scrapped that idea and was looking into other ways to do this. I ended up with pigs for two reasons. One they are 1x1 animals but Two unlike chickens don't create items while hanging around. This means you can pack the in tight and once built you can forget about them.

One thing to be mindful about his build is because of how liquiducts work either plan ahead or use BC water pipes instead.

BE HOLD Pig Pod

Each layer is 4 pigs with a center pipe linking all the layers together. You would need to use some way on moving your pigs in layer by layer as you build it. But that is not a huge issue between gravguns and safarinets it should be easy to just plop them in. If you do this you want to do it with the outside wall two blocks high at a time.

Here let me show you a basic build.

Basic layer and get the piping down. If using liquiducts make sure ALL your piping is in place before you put down your first pig to avoid having to tare it down to fix things later. Or use BC pipes it really works well with ether system.

For each layer you want to do the walls two blocks high then drop in your pigs. (one high they might jump out)

Then cap them

And repeat to your height of choice

This here houses 20 pigs in a fairly small foot print that can tile fairly well with a little fore planing.

You can connect liquiducts with a wrench. As long as the second one is either empty or has the same liquid :).

But yeah, this is very similar to what I did. Compactness wasn't my concern though, I just wanted something as creepy as possible :D.

I also, I filled things in with portals, conveyors and soul shards, each of my pods has anywhere from 4 to 20 cows in it, the total count is around 500. :D (As you might have guessed efficiency wasn't much of a concern either)

As a matter of fact, I'm thinking of completelly switching over to IC2 industrial fertilizer. Bonemeal + scrap? Puhleeease!

Nice this I did not know.

You do know that the sewage collector (unless your using the most recent version of MFR) does not count beyond 1 animal so the 4-20 does not help at all.

The most recent version is for 1.5.1, so I doubt either of us is using it. But yeah, I've got the one with upgrades and stuff. So yeah, I do get extra.

As a matter of fact, my 8 composters aren't nearly by a large margin enough to take care of all of the sewage.

Which brings me to.... "Hm, this is not very efficient". Hence the IC2 industrial fertilizer.

Sometimes a little inefficient can be fun.

I like stuff to be just efficient enough to work.

As a side I was sad to find out villagers dont poop

I approve.

2.3.x (1.4) has the upgrades, which it seems like you know but I thought I'd clarify for anyone else wondering. 2.4.x is the start of the 1.5 version. BTW, if another sewer is in a sewer's collection radius, it will shut down, so you have to plan upgraded ones' layouts.

Maybe I'll add a special case for villagers in the sewer's code because villager poop farms seems like a thing I should be supporting.

Told you before, the scrap is only for the first fertilizer. After that, it's just bonemeal+fertilizer = 2 fertilizer.

That would me nice. with the upgardes for ranages it would actually allow a player made village to basicly have toilets.

if another sewer is in a sewer's collection radius, it will shut down.

Is the radius X,Y and Z or is the Y limited it some way?

On the same Y-level. So you can stack them in weird ways for maximum poop; I decided that was an acceptable loss compared to trying to find every sewer that might possibly overlap because that would take a lot more effort.

Ok you got a win in my book. Villagers and Players. WOOT I can has toilet!

I've only started playing with your mod recently and I'm coming to really enjoy it. And that is resonable so things like this pig pod would still work if they were spaced out on the X,Z enough. I can live with that.

I think there needs to be a hidden item like the Holy Planks of Sengir.

You stick 8 sewage collectors around a piece of wool and get the Shooper Pooper.
