does upping melee affect the amount of metal gained?

Best dino for gathering metal 9/10

Metal boi that's all u need to know

Metal is a quarter of its weight in an Ankylo.

DONT USE ANKY FOR OBSIDION, for mobile Anky is the highest ranking creature for obsidian but the Dododex is wrong, the doedic is MUCH better at obsidion collection

One of these paired with quetzal harvesting will give you the fastest harvesting for metal, crystal and obsidian. Just level melee and let the quetz take the weight of the Anky.

Use to get the stone thatch and wood for a huge stone fortress

These guys are good all around. They can do good damage and are good resource collectors. The only downside is that they are very slow.

Why would you level spd , health on ankylo , only noobs do that . Level up melee only and use argie or qz to farm with it

It makes no sense that an anky cant damage stone...

Please note the Karikino can carry an anky. Upvote for new aberration players

very useful for collecting metal and flint, however if you are looking for an animal to collect stone, tame a doedicurus that are great for that. both are great animals and easy to tame. you will definitely want to have them in your base

It is the only creature that harvests EVERYTHING! Trees, stone, plants, metal. If you want to clear out an area bring an anky.

Prolly the best early-mid game game you can make, especially as you get into the metal phase. Upgrade movement speed and weight for a real utility beast.

The best way to get metal is tame a few of these guys, then get in a tribe if you dont already have one. Then ask your tribe members to grind with you and you'll get loads of metal! I tested this out too. And make sure you alternate between weight and strength to get the most.

Raising the ankys melee will increase it's farming capabilities significantly. I Recommend getting a higher lvl anky.

With the recent update Ankylo can hold four times the metal because it weighs less as long as it's in ankylo 's inventory. So 100 metal will weigh 25lbs instead of 100. Also tamed Anky will have more speed than usual. Happy farming ^__^ -Geo

Doesn’t harvest sand as suggested.
Dev’s please update. Thanks.

guys gotta say this is the best gathering dino gather metal 1/4 the wait plus get an argi with it harvest metal and obsidian argi halves the wait for those best tandem

Super recommended but it's land speed sucks but still the BEST!!

Metal, Crystal and Flint. Can be carried by Argentavis. Metal got 1/4 weight in it.
