It may be a bug on mobile version, but currently ankylos don't gather metal when you put them to wander. They hardly move at all when left by themselves on wander. You gotta ride them yourself to make them useful on mobile.

When I tamed one it was on one edge of the map and my base was at the other edge. Fastest way to transport these is with the request command from the tames thing the only bad thing is that you will lose it’s inventory so just take everything I wanted to mine obsidian I requested it and took my obi and requested it at my base back

They can not get oil from oil Rock on or near the volcano on the map lost island

I found an infinite damage glitch. What you need to do is take the ankylo (works on other herbivores and some carnivores) ride it and attack something before it hits the target use the spyglass now you found an infinite damage glitch . It works on the spino and rex but the stacks are lower . Works on stego and bronto too but make sure you have a saddle

If you put Anky on 'set wandering' and then carry it with an Argentavis, they will passively collect metal whilst you fly. Sometimes temperamental, but a very easy fast way to collect metal

The Ankylo is a great creature for harvesting metal rock, it gets around 70 metal per hit, and take’s out rocks with one hit.

By BLITZlegend

Using an anky + a quetz to get obsidian in large quantities when you live far from mountains seems useful, the quetz can carry the anky there and hold a decent amount of obsidian, and the anky gathers it and can hold some, hope this is helpful

Can kill aphla raptors if ur riding it.

Metal not stone flint not stone thach not wood

Tame a high level anky, level health, get ascendant saddle BP, tame argy, pick up the anky with your argy, drop it on the enemy tribe’s base

You:

-1 anky

-1 ascendant anky saddle

VS.

The enemy tribe:

- all the bullets in their turrets

+ lots of grinding to make new turrets

+ 1 ascendant anky saddle

(Mobile players) Tame about 5 or more of these-or breed and imprint*optional them if ya want after finding both male&female, and then with your anky squad bring via eagle or quetz"if ya have one by now" or teleport them all to metal mountain 🤭"Ahem!!!"...tallest mountain close to center of map... and then set them on wander to smack-a-doo whatever they beef with up there..."psst...there is alot of rocks and metal veins up there including some crystal". Let them handle their to do's for a min or so then command whistle follow all and watch the troopers run over to inspect their quarry, if any or all havent clocked some work in then bring em to a spot not cleared yet whilst still following then whistle stop all...are they still set on wander mode...? Maybe. Transport your load any method by wings, land mount, or personal favorite by foot to your humble abode and relish in a decent amount of sparkies and heavy stuff to put into heavy shiny stuff maker...theres probably an easier way to make those but i havent found it yet so yeah back and forth up and down the rocky earth pimple gushing with the temporary metal and rock goo i go...i did try using parachutes but...i set my abode in the humble safety of herb island...yeah...anywho-diddly its impooossible for anyone to make a base or something up there, i have no idea where anyone including me to find the stuff to make it up there since mountians barely hold and trees and plants...just rocks....lotsa rocks. G'day! 😁🤙

Holds the highest weight reduction % with 85% for metal (ore)

The deo may not collect obsidian any more but this animal collects tons of it. It can also be carried by an Argie and the Argie decreases the weight of obsidian. If you get my gist it is super easy to get tons of obsidian

As most know, the anky gathers flint, metal, obsidianand similar resources very well, BUT it comes with an added bonus. An anky can "gather" these items from a rock elemental corpse, so it can be used to gather tons of resources from them, as long as it has backup (I.e. Another tamed rock elemental) to help killing the wild ones. P.S. Ankys do NOT do "normal" damage to elementals, surprisingly.

If you invest enough xp in speed, they make a good average speed mount. If you hit the yellow rocks, you will get more metal than you will know what to do with!

Good at getting metel

But not the fastest thing

Best dino for farming flint and metal. Level melee rather than weight. You can use a whip to move it once its encumbered.

The metal GOAT. This guy is your answer to all metal structures and equipment.

Interestingly, they are faster in water than on land. I've hit up metal nodes underwater with these guys, probably just under the same speed as a frog while swimming

On map fjordur you can find X-ankylosaurs on volcano island and they look way cooler than the normal ones.
