Solid Dino. It pretty much replaces berry, metal, stone, obsidian, thatch, (wood is decent but low end gathering), as for crystal I am unsure and I have not used it yet for that.
You will need a dedicated storage which the stryder can link to ONLY 1 at a time and will instantly send that resource it gathers to the boss remotely using the same charge it uses to mine with for the gathering kit. When linked to a box it will only shoot to gather nodes that hold that resource or are close to it. Like metal ore box will also mine standard stone and over weigh you. If you wish to mine everything all at once like crazy simply unlink the box and pew pew to your hearts content.
As for mobility.... You can NOT cryo it. Making it a major pain to move across the map unless you have a TEK SKIFF. It walks similar to a bronto speed but slightly faster its taller than any Dino excluding the titanosaur.
(Combat harvester kit) it can kick things in the face. There you have it combats done.
(Healing it)...... You can only heal it with the new tek repair gun and dinos as it does not eat anything.
(Water).... damn thing sucks sometimes to get out of water unless it has a perfectly sloped ground to climb up on. On the flip side it has no oxygen meter so it can remain underwater indefinitely and never drown.
(Foods) its a machine. No foods.
Noises it makes the damn thing sounds like something out of horizon zero dawn and looks like a ATAT from star wars.
(Customization) yes you can paint it.
(Additional gear) it has a tek bed that you sleep inside of which doesn't work like the tek beds with feeding and water so be mindfull of that. Which when you leave the bed it ejects you from the belly. It has a tek transmitter on top of it but doesn't send dinos.
Aside from all of that you can figure the rest out pretty easy. Happy taming peoples.
