Once set up, that waste can be collected from the bathroom and used to fertilize crops. Installing an outhouse stops followers from pooping in the grass, which can sow discontent among easily grossed-out animals. Like an effective preacher, Cult of the Lamb is always teaching something new, slowly making the daily routine busier without feeling suddenly overwhelming.Įvery decision plays an important role in the camp.
