So if you really want to grind metal in single player you should get a bronto get a platform saddle and spam its weight build a furnace room on top with everything you can, then tame an argy and anklo (if you don’t have one) then use the argy to pick up anklo and find a metal supply ise the anklo to get the metal then pick the anklo up and carry to the bronto platform saddle with the argy then smelt it in the metal base you made. Hope you like it if.
More Brontosaurus Utility Tips
Just found out something really useful about Brontos! You can use them to transport goods a long way, but sometimes you have more than the bronto can carry, so, if you pack your resources on something like a high level parasaur or iguanodon, and put it on the platform saddle, it only takes the Dinos drag weight, not resource weight, allowing you to carry tons of materials at half the weight!
These things can be aggroed on by:
Allosauruses,
Spinos,
Rexes,
Alpha Rexes,
Yutyrannuses,
Carcharos,
Gigas,
Rhynios,
And finally megatheriums that somehow got the insect buff
If it is able to aggro onto a bronto without it aggroing the animal first that means it is aggressive to and will attack any and all other tames.
This also applies to the paracer as in terms of prey the paracer can be aggroed on by the same creatures listed above.
