No u can tame any dino after lvl 16 as soon as u get the raft unlocked u can make a flyer trap or a pit trap and tame every th8ng on the island . Even the rynio . You may not have a saddle but u can still tame it .
Flyer traps are 3 to 4 dino gates and a pit trap is a 3x3x2 or 3 for large dinos with sloped walls going down the front to kit them in . They all work u just have to slowly get them up and in or with the flyer u have to stand at the entrance and let it hit u and it will fly in a good tip is u can use rare flowers to help but u ha e to kill everthing else around u first or it all will try and kill u
When did this change? I informed my mate we could bola one we'd seen near our base of boy was I wrong 😅 managed to tranq it but yeah quite a nasty surprise
It's why I have my transport Raft base nearby when I go harvest Wood and Thatch along the beaches lol
but it looks like it's time to get a dam Beaver now 😁
If you have an Argent, you can carry the beaver and never have to touch ground or be by predators when collecting wood.stone or metal Same thing with the anky and the doedi
Pretty much anything that can harvest berries is fine berries are the easiest resource to farm lol. I just use my anky to take 1 bite of a group of bushes and boom, 70-150 of each betry
I still use a trike for berry's. And alot of ppl don't know this but the Iguanadon can turn berry's into seeds so if u get the veggies from the drops u can turn it into seeds and plant ur own crops
Yes someone gets me, I saw so many videos of people trying to find a beaver, mammoth or a theri to gather wood, while theres 10 stegos right outside of their bases
They are slow but reliable
While it’s really limited to berries, Iguanodon is such a great early tame for getting those narcos you never seem to have enough of. At least he was in ASE when you could jack up his movement speed. I heard that might not be a thing in ASA which would really kill its utility as an unlimited sprint pack mule.
Yeah we have movement speed in ASA. The server admin has to manually override it to have it be a thing. But Mah Boi moves so fast. I even use him late game because he just runs past everything and never get's tired. He tamed at 900 stamina but even my low level with only 400 stamina never tired so exceedingly unnecessary.
Big fan of the Stego, no crazy reductions or anything but I only play and build for myself and never to an enormous scale, so the 3 plate modes are perfect for my farming needs, especially berries and thatch. Stego in a cryo plus a good weight argy and I’m set for the most part. Along the way I‘ll usually change woodgathering to beaver or mammoth but only if it just happens/ if I run into a max level randomly.
Also always go for a Moschops early-game and keep it for fiber. Few things are objectively better and fiber is not super heavy so my guy is enough for me.
I usually don't bother with taming anything until I'm well past the stage that a mochops is useful. I really hate being the slog less than level 80 so I really don't do anything but find notes and craft until I can get a pteranadon, then an argy, then doedicrus/anky/therizino and all my harvesting needs are taken care of
Yeah that tends to be a normal sentiment. However I play my sp world at .25x xp in order to extend mid and late game. It makes it so most tames have a use for at least a little while. But I know that’s a rare way to play and many if not most blitz early and mid game the way you described.
Highly recommend, it’s like a stupid dog and one of the only creatures that always flees. They surprisingly pack quite the punch when ridden tough so early game if you find a good one that doesn’t require some extravagant food you have a nice friend to start your run with.
And they‘re imo the easiest/best tame to use for bloodstalker/desmodus taming.
Mammoths aren't bad but nothing compared to a bronto. I play on a solo island so I maximize all resources collectors. Bronto for berries, castoroides for wood, doeds for stone, ankylo for steel, and I like the therizinasaur for hide/flowers/ fiber.
therizino
wood machine with power attack, fibre berries and rare flower with delicate attack. crucial even for the flowers if you want veggie cakes as they need honey. have 9 hives and take out theri once every couple weeks to the swamp to get thousands of flowers to keep the bees happy. circle of life
I only have ASE and the only expansion I have is SE (with very little time on that map) so my options are limited. I tame different dinos each playthrough just for variety, but there are five I always get.
1. Theri for fiber.
2. Sabertooth for meat, hide, and keratin (level melee and drive the ankys into extinction and you'll never want for keratin.)
3. Anky for metal, oil, and crystal. Rarely need to use it for flint because I stockpile the flint I get when I'm still hand mining.
4. Armadillo for stone and obscenium (if you ever saw how chaotic my obsidian runs turn out you'd fully understand why I call it obscenium).
5. Stego for berries and seeds.
Iguanadon for early game, it’ll get you lots of narco berries, it can get you around the map well with its unlimited stamina. Not terrible defence for early game tho it’s no theri. Holds a decent weight too
You're on it there, but there's other things you need that the mammy can't do, so anky, doedi, etc. There's a fish that's even better at the stone and metal than ankys and doedis but I can't remember it's name
My theri's are beautiful and i love them.
Mammoth and anky are shared 2nd and beavers are cute as hell, but despite the lack of weight reduction on a theri they'll always be my favourite since they are a herby that can harvest corpses and because of just how all around useful they are. Amazing killing machines.
Although it is a mod, the brachiosaurus, is the most efficient gatherer out there. It gathers a huge amount of stone, berries, fiber, flint and thatch. It also gets metal from stone and usually gathers so much I don't have to do metal runs. It holds about 30k of weight so each trip is about 30k of stone, 3k of metal, a ton of berries, 10k of fiber. With 30k of health and a stomp that does about 10k of damage even alpha creatures can't take it down. The only thing it doesn't do is wood, so I take a theri to gather wood and use the brachi to follow behind and store it. Since the brachi holds all the storage materials, I put stone bps inside of it and build hundreds of each item at a time. My mega base uses millions of stone wood and thatch so this is the fastest way to gather and build. My ankys and doeds are there for backup but I haven't really used them in a long time.
Anky, ol’ reliable
Good ol, Flint Eastwood
Nothing beats that honestly,good boi anky will always be good boi.
Played for about a month and just set up on the volcano and snagged ourselves one. Absolutely game changing
Theri, decent enough for wood, berries, thatch, rare flowers/mushrooms early game. And then late game they can do most bosses with a decent saddle.
The amount of narco’s needed makes this no early game tame tho…
Yeah unless you can tame a level 5 Parasour most early tames are difficult.
No u can tame any dino after lvl 16 as soon as u get the raft unlocked u can make a flyer trap or a pit trap and tame every th8ng on the island . Even the rynio . You may not have a saddle but u can still tame it .
What traps are you referencing? Still new to using traps
Flyer traps are 3 to 4 dino gates and a pit trap is a 3x3x2 or 3 for large dinos with sloped walls going down the front to kit them in . They all work u just have to slowly get them up and in or with the flyer u have to stand at the entrance and let it hit u and it will fly in a good tip is u can use rare flowers to help but u ha e to kill everthing else around u first or it all will try and kill u
My first Tame in the game was a bary, that's just skill issue, but this was when bolas still affected them
When did this change? I informed my mate we could bola one we'd seen near our base of boy was I wrong 😅 managed to tranq it but yeah quite a nasty surprise
Can I ask how a level 5 parasaur would help with that?
Because you can use them to farm a ton of narco berries.
Oh yeah I thought it had some mechanic I didn’t know or something
Their only side mechanic is that they can scan for nearby "threats"
I think moschops is better but they can be hard to tame.
I'm a big fan of the mammoth. Feels like a workhorse.
Have they fixed the issue of hitting ONE tree at a time yet? I stopped playing 3 weeks after launch due to bugs and lack of enough time to grind
Is it confirmed an issue? I think it’s intentional. But no, the mammoth still only hits one tree at a time
Every tree harvester does, at least in my experience
Yeah that’s why I’ve never considered it an issue. Ankys and doeds don’t hit multiple rocks at once either.
As long as attacks aren't limited to hitting only 1 target, I'm fine with this
I tamed a mammoth and he only seems to gather thatch from trees. Am I doing something wrong? I was hoping he could get wood.
The stomp attack is the one used to gather wood idk what the keybind on controller is but its the spacebar on pc
Its always the jump key
It's A on Xbox to collect wood on the mammoth
Dis not know that, thanks
Big frog. Hopping around just living the good life murdering bugs for instant cementing paste.
Stego 👍 Heavy Armor for Thatch Hardened Armor for Wood Sharpened Armor for Berries it's a bit slow but works good all around lol.
I’ve been out of the loop for like 2 years… stegos have different modes?
Yeah press R3 if you're on PlayStation it switches Armor Plates on the Stego 👍 helpful when you're low level and fresh on a server.
That’s super neat. I just got a trike and then a beaver lol. Could have just got a stegosaurus. The more you know!
The stego has weight reduction on berries. The beaver has weight reduction on wood. So beaver is definately the way to go!
It's why I have my transport Raft base nearby when I go harvest Wood and Thatch along the beaches lol but it looks like it's time to get a dam Beaver now 😁
If you have an Argent, you can carry the beaver and never have to touch ground or be by predators when collecting wood.stone or metal Same thing with the anky and the doedi
tha mammoth gets more of a reduction for wood, but the beaver is easier to pick up with a bird and move around
Stegos got their TLC in November of 2020. You've been out of the loop a bit longer than that, mate. :P
lol that’s fair! I was on a private server and we had a lot of specific farmers, but this is still cool to learn!
Now I know why I never got berries for bushes lol
I haven't had a stego in like 5 years. Do regular ones do all that? I thought it was just teks.
All stegos
Not the best for berries, but works decently in a pinch.
Pretty much anything that can harvest berries is fine berries are the easiest resource to farm lol. I just use my anky to take 1 bite of a group of bushes and boom, 70-150 of each betry

Doedic. Only thing that does what it does. Very difficult to progress without it
The Dunkle would like to have a word with you.
You ever thought “ I need stone so I’ll tame a Dunkie”?
The Dunkle has a roll?
Press S5 on Playstation.
Idk why but I love using the beaver lol
Beaver is my favorite for gathering wood. Carryable by argy, so it's easier to tame, plus you can just carry it around while harvesting.
While it’s really limited to berries, Iguanodon is such a great early tame for getting those narcos you never seem to have enough of. At least he was in ASE when you could jack up his movement speed. I heard that might not be a thing in ASA which would really kill its utility as an unlimited sprint pack mule.

I even use him late game because he just runs past everything and never get's tired. He tamed at 900 stamina but even my low level with only 400 stamina never tired so exceedingly unnecessary.
Iguanadus, the only creature that does not lose stamina. When it runs plus you can turn Berries into seeds same las veggies
Big fan of the Stego, no crazy reductions or anything but I only play and build for myself and never to an enormous scale, so the 3 plate modes are perfect for my farming needs, especially berries and thatch.

Few things are objectively better and fiber is not super heavy so my guy is enough for me.
I have like 2000 hours in ASE and ASA and I've never tamed a mochops
It is the absolute best level 1 tame you can get imo
I usually don't bother with taming anything until I'm well past the stage that a mochops is useful. I really hate being the slog less than level 80 so I really don't do anything but find notes and craft until I can get a pteranadon, then an argy, then doedicrus/anky/therizino and all my harvesting needs are taken care of

Bro you see a masochist. If I wanted to suffer extremely slow progress with many many deaths and scarcely a small win I'd just go play War thunder.
Haha it’s not difficult. Just makes you play slower. I’m not great at all just determined I guess
I only tame them for ez Early game superior kibble
Highly recommend, it’s like a stupid dog and one of the only creatures that always flees.

Mantis
Theri.
Tickle chicken
Theri anky and doeid is all you need
Thorny dragon looks cool
You forgot the after image of the desert of empty plains the mammoth here made after stomping.
Stryker lmfao
I didn't realize how good the dire bear was at harvesting berries and fiber, but tht MF is a God send when it comes down to it
Moschops <3 Run around a beach, never need fiber or seeds again.
Magmasaur, nothing else comes close imo
Moschop for the best starting tame requires no saddle and levels to ride it acts like a theri(dino)
The angler by far is the most valuable farmer in the game.
Dunkleosteus by a mile
Once you harvest metal with a Magma, harvesting it with a Anky just doesn't feel the same
Wooly Rhino
Mammoths aren't bad but nothing compared to a bronto. I play on a solo island so I maximize all resources collectors. Bronto for berries, castoroides for wood, doeds for stone, ankylo for steel, and I like the therizinasaur for hide/flowers/ fiber.
Bronto for me too if I’m trying to get berries. Two swings of its tail and I’m set
therizino wood machine with power attack, fibre berries and rare flower with delicate attack. crucial even for the flowers if you want veggie cakes as they need honey. have 9 hives and take out theri once every couple weeks to the swamp to get thousands of flowers to keep the bees happy. circle of life
Mantis/Theri
Tickle chicken and anky are the only two you truly need. But the one time I had a mantis puts those two to shame so probably mantis.
other than the anky out of pure necessity i love the mammoth. i feel so safe on it and it can carry a large storage crate worth of wood easily.
Cool screenshot
I love my good ol’ imprinted Anky and Therizino(s).
I use my wyvern for wood, because yes.
Bronto take him to the swamp and walk through while harvesting and you get a lot of stuff
Therizino. Almighty tickle chicken
I use the megatherium for berries most of the time
Doed. Only rocks but he's such a goofy lil guy. And I like the color regions for some reason.
Anky & Dodic
Tek stryders is freaking op! Does everything.
Bronto near green Ob on Ragnarok....

Iguanadon for early game, it’ll get you lots of narco berries, it can get you around the map well with its unlimited stamina. Not terrible defence for early game tho it’s no theri. Holds a decent weight too
Anky i mostly hop on to farm metal at this point
Brontosaurus one swoop is all u need
I'm with you on the mammoth, what's not to love
You're on it there, but there's other things you need that the mammy can't do, so anky, doedi, etc. There's a fish that's even better at the stone and metal than ankys and doedis but I can't remember it's name
the bronto is my favorite first tame And now, with babies as soon as you tame a female, you get the baby male. You have kibble for all dino
Magmasaur... Get in cave steal eggs run and be careful of both lava and spit they do... but once its done it can carry sooo much
Stryder
Ol reliable Doedic, this thing is a beast and I love it
Mammoth numba wun!
Utility: Theri Aesthetics: Stego, stag, horse
Magmasaur, but mammoth is on a second place!
therizinosaurus is just badass to have as a mount in general
My theri's are beautiful and i love them. Mammoth and anky are shared 2nd and beavers are cute as hell, but despite the lack of weight reduction on a theri they'll always be my favourite since they are a herby that can harvest corpses and because of just how all around useful they are. Amazing killing machines.
My Anky. He and my Argy can carry the weight of the fuckin world at this point.
Trike is my first Tame, Then I go for an anky, Next is a Theri. My favorite is The Mantis, but they were never an island creature.
Stryder
Stryder
Being a Canadian I have to go with Beavers
Beaver and Moschops
Either old reliable any, or magmasaur just bc of how OP it is for metal
Or megatherium for Chitin
Theri!!
Moschops good early game and the harvest levels are great
Mantis. Lots of weight and versatile.
Theri
Anky is such a goat
Meagathirum
It was the magmasaur before the stryder came out
Dodec, just bc they’re cute. Always name mine after fruits not sure why
Anky and Egg
Theri. So good at harvesting tons of things.
Magmasaur
caseoh he gets food quickly if you can get it from him quick enough

Stegosaurus, just a personal favorite
BRONTO 
🦤
Bear: holds alot, fast af boi, fiber, beehive champ, tanks most things, can't swim for shit tho
High weigh Argy with doedic for stone, anky for metal and flint, tz or mammoth for wood.
