SeagullDigestion
Seagulls actually eat the food they steal and leave a poop behind. Sells for a randomised price, and eating it costs you.Seagull Digestion
Seagulls that steal your food now actually eat it. After a random delay the stolen item turns into a poop: randomised sell price, and a bad idea to eat.
- Host-authoritative, matching how the game already simulates birds.
- The timer cancels if you shoot the bird or grab the fish back.
- Seagulls ignore poop, and rest for a while after a meal.
- Procedurally generated poop mesh, no asset bundle.
- Poop syncs to every client and survives save/reload.
Eating it
The hunger cost is paid out of your stomach first. Whatever your stomach cannot cover is dealt as direct damage, so eating poop on an empty stomach takes the full hit to your health. Poison lands either way, exactly like raw pufferfish.
With HungerCost = 25:
| Fullness before | Fullness after | Damage |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 75 | 0 |
| 25 | 0 | 0 |
| 10 | 0 | 15 |
| 0 | 0 | 25 |
Food-effect mods are blocked from rewarding you for it. With Fish Effects installed, poop grants no timed effect, no Drip luck, and no effect line on the inspection card. Those are ordinary Harmony patches applied from this mod; no other mod's files are touched, and they are skipped when the mod is absent.

Multiplayer
The host needs the mod. Clients without it lose the money either way, but will still see the original fish model.
Changelog
1.3.0
- The poop model is sized from the item it replaced instead of a fixed world
size, and capped, so it no longer fills the screen when held.
Scaleis now a multiplier around that fitted size; 1.0 is the new default. - The inventory icon uses the same mesh as the world model.
1.2.0
- Eating poop drains fullness, deals the unpayable remainder as damage, and always poisons you.
- Fish Effects no longer grants poop a timed effect, Drip luck, or an effect line.
1.1.0
- Fixed white poop: the game's custom item shader takes albedo from a texture, so a fresh material rendered untextured white. The original material is now cloned and its albedo map replaced.
- Sell price rolled per poop, encoded into the SyncVar that marks the item.
- Seagulls no longer target poop, and take a cooldown after eating.
