Utility Tips

What is a brontosaurus used for? brontosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
You need all of the storage. I just got the saddle for my bronto (pretty cheap) and it is only level 33. This is my first world on ark. After 3 swings of collection, FULL. My bronto was full of 3000+ weight of berries. Only do one swing and that is all you need in early game. This is advice for other beginners like me. I don’t see myself going harvesting for the foreseeable future.
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.
Get a fully imprinted bronto.
Mount a platform saddle on. (Recommend a ramshackle or higher)
Mount it with 6 cannons (3 on both sides left and right)
Place a catapult at the back
1 ballista on the front, complete a base with an angled roof
Then place 5 autoturrets on the roof (2 each side and one on the middle)
Welcome you have dreadnought
These things are BEASTS at the Lunar biome on genesis. Not only can they harvest a BUNCH of thatch and wood in one swing, but they can harvest almost equally as much stone and crystal from certain “plants” there, as well.
Just be careful not to crash the server like I did...oops.
