I’m so impatient about unlocking the platform saddle.
Brontosaurus
The Brontosaurus is a behemoth of a dinosaur with a powerful tail 'tail sweep' attack that can smash all nearby enemies. This method is also one of the most efficient ways to gather berries and thatch, and the Brontosaurus' ability to carry large quantities of items make it even more useful for gathering. With its ability to carry a Platform Saddle, the Brontosaurus is often considered a must-have dinosaur for nomadic tribes looking for a mobile base.

What ARK players use the Brontosaurus for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Paired with a desmodus you’ll get a ton of narcotics u should get at least 10 mortar and pestle mid game or a chemistry bench.
You can actually build on these guys back.
If you're grinding for something that requires a lot of thatch, don't bother with a pick. Use this boi. I was grinding for a stone battlement, and my Bronto was way faster to use. If you're wondering what I used I used a lvl 62 Theri, lvl 39 Dodic & a lvl 42 Bronto.
Low level Brontos can be tamed fairly easily with just a regular bow. They are worth taming and breeding at lower levels to gain eggs for exceptional kibble and easy prime meat.
Another option for getting off of it without taking fall damage is just to yabba dabba doo slide down the tail.
Or build a ladder off of the platform.
To get down the bronto just simply force feed it some berries and when it bends it's neck down to eat you can walk off its neck, my method.
They should add more attacks to these guys, something like a stomp would be great for them
I like to name one Wild Bronto and have it wander around nearby as a berry tame that’s unlikely to die :)
A fun fact is brontos will do a lot of damage but can’t gather the meat
Should I try to tame this with berry's or no I can ko it and I want to tame this
Pretty good for mobile bases and sometimes raiding
Down by the beaches, where there’s tons of foliage and small trees, one of these becomes a one man-one Dino landscape company.
After taming, here’s all i concluded from the Bronto!
*Even at a low level, these beasts have 1k+ weight, making them quite useful for clearing trees and bushes
Not to mention they collect berries, thatch, and wood efficiently.
Early-game, they can serve as…

Early-game, they can serve as protection,
but later in the game, they’re mostly berries.
These are my tips! There’s more out there so don’t just listen to me
There are the best for collecting materials and some food, especially berries I filled like seven chest in seconds.
If you want a bronto base but want a way to get of while not getting hurt just put a door in the back where the tail is then run down the tail. You will take way less damage or not take any at all.
Get you a high lvl bronto and take it to the lunar area on genesis and swipe by the crystal rocks and you'll easily get 1k crystal 3k rocks and if close enough to the wood you'll get a full weight bronto.. put a platform saddle on and make a smithy and you'll…

We use this creature as a mobile hunting/taming base.
Just a platform saddle, then some other platforms for Argys and other birds to land on, some crates to carry berries, kibble or material for a quick taming pen.

If taming smaller Dinos, also build ramps for them to get up or set the bronto on follow and carry your tame home with a Quetz.
If taming taming bigger creatures, ride them home with the bronto on follow or set your tame on follow and ride the bronto home.
If you have a problem with tress or need berries, use this big guy, I deforestated a jungle within 7 in game days.
It’s amazing at berries. All you need is a spot with a lot of berry bushes and a good way to get spoiled meat and you have infinite narcotics
