More "garbage collector" creatures

[Szczuku]

Dst has a small but still somewhat dangerous problem. 

Trash. Piles of rot, twigs, rotten eggs and manure liter the map. Rot is mostly caused by seeds or monster meat lying around. If your world is "unlucky" then all saplings on the Surface will be replaced with twigly trees. Twiggs everywhere. Penguls leave their eggs at the end of winter and then they rot. If you domesticate a beefalo or let koalefant roam the land then you'll surely start noticing mnore and more poop wherever you go. Those things can sometimes lead to lag or fps drop on weaker computers.

So far there're only 2 creatures that will actively look for stuff (like ort and rotten eggs) to eat. One of them is pig and another is buzzard. HAving to build pig houses everywhere isn't a good idea and buzzards cannot be "replanted".

Here're my ideas:

-Stick insects. You know those bugs that look like sticks. They'd act like moleworms but seek out twigs. They'd have some sort of home they spawn from and you can move around. Just like moleworms but for sticks.

-Poop disappearing after some time. This or add new plant creature that'd eat poop, guano, rot and rotten eggs.

Yea good idea, but a garbage collector for bee stingers too please.

 

Also I never get why twiggy trees are considered "Unlucky" they are a lot better than regular ones imo. Besides you can find the regular ones in caves so your world is doubly richer on twigs, which also grow on winter. You additionally get 2 wood when grabbing twigs

Twigly trees sometimes drop twigs when growing. Now take that ability and multiply it by the entire map having twigly trees instead of saplings and 600+ world.

That's a lot of twigs on the ground.

They're usefull and better than saplings yes. But they do litter the server if your world is "unlucky"

I highly double on this request. We need clean up crews.

This X1000.

Stingers and silk are an even worse problem than sticks, rot, poop and rotten eggs, since all those you can at least collect them and burn them.

Bee stingers and silk never go away, you will eventually have no use for them, and it forces you to feed them to lureplants which is time consuming and annoying. Most crappy stuff like rot, twigs, poop, stingers, hound teeth and silk that lay on the ground after X amount of time should dissapear.

We need this^^^^

[4 Da LOLs]

silk should be a fire fuel source imagine all the Webber bases that will be based on literally just spiders not even trees just silk and tents and spider wars

maybe that could be something for Webbers re imagining

[camelot]

Just collect and feed them to lureplants in (certainly spawn in spring, forgot about autumn) . They will digest them all (delete) in like 1 day in game

Also I forgot to add.

The traits of these creatures would be:

-passive/neutral

-easy to relocate

-possible to multiply (think catcoons throwing up moleworms)

-has a spawning point  (that's easy to relocate)

We could have some kind of trash compactor that would turn a lotta' junk into something useful. Maybe even some kind of machine for Winona that could turn this lot of junk into better/worse quality fuel (DST science, do not ask) at a lower/higher expense?

No. I want expanded ecosystem that I can bend under my will to make the world prettier goSh DARN IT!
