No need wasting 50 engram points on casto saddle, just enable wander it and carry it with argent near wood, if there is no wood nearby it again then pick it and drop it again near wood, its more effective than ride it and farm manualy
Why you looking for tips it’s wood it’s everywhere
pssst... you. yeah you.

remember when a beaver spawns there is guaranteed to be a beaver dam
Even though Casteroids are better at collecting wood, mammoths can carry so much more, and have higher weight reduction. They also move faster and have a larger attack range. When gathering wood on a mammoth, I personally have found that it’s stomp, or left trigger (Xbox) attack gathers more than its main attack
Tip on weight reduction:
Rafts and storage crates have a weight reduction of 100%
When making med bottle use thatch instant of wood,wood will create burned wood and it will make game thinks you are trying to make red dye
wait why would someone get wood with a club.
Idk why the magmasaur isnt higher up on the list i just used one and i got 2000 for one tree
Although they don't have weight reduction Theris are extremely fast gatherers. I gather wood with my Theri and have a beaver following so that when my Theri gets encumbered I just throw it all on the beaver.
Therisinosaurus collect wood very fast and very effective, but with it it becomes encumbered very fast too. Mammoth collect it not very fast, but it has big radius of attack and it can takes large amounts of wood with its high weight and weight reduction of wood in its inventory.
Beaver dams in the rivers have wood
Go to edge of redwoods, hit the tall redwood trees with chainsaw and you’ll get a lot doing that.
I would recommend taking something what could withstand the weight
Get a mammoth or rollrat, even though they don’t gather as much wood as a beaver they have better weight reduction and a decent amount of wood collecting. Plus their weight carry percentage is better
Sure mammoth has better weight reduction and weight overall than the Beaver BUT what many people don't know is that like an anky or doedic, the casteroids when carried by an argent or quetz will auto collect wood.
You can use a stegosaurus to gather woods, using the heavy plates mode. They don't have weight reduction, however, they have a lot of weight. Moreover it gathers so much wood! It's amazing, I have a stego named Stella and every tree give me almost 100 woods and she can hold between 800 to 700 woods inside it's inventory.
If you don’t have access to a stryder, Mammoth is your best friend for wood! Better weight carry amount and has better weight reduction. Collects just as much as the beaver
Enable Moschops wandering and they will collect many wood with berries and thatch also
Hit trees It’s that easy
A note on Mammoths and Wood. I have recently noticed that mammoths seem to be less good than Castroides at getting wood, HOWEVER, I then realized... For whatever reason, if you want Mammoths to get mostly wood. The "attack" they use is the [spacebar]... I never would have thought of that, but what do you know! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So not listen to people about the tek stryder it is terrible at collecting wood
