I was on the south zone 2 and all the beavers were elsewhere... I got 15 rare flower and 34 rare mushroom
Steal from beaver dams. It’s risky, but you reap in the rewards.
BEFORE you decide to take items out of the beaver dam, make sure you have enough weight levels on you.
Nothing like taking 800 wood and 430 cement pace, then not being able to move while you’re getting attacked!
If you want to get the resources from the dams these guys build then what I usually do is get one of my bigger dinos (Bronto or Diplo) bc they can carry a lot and I go rly close to the dam with my dino and open the dam to gey the resources and quickly get on my dino and run back to my bace, where I have a wall of spikes to keep bad dinos away , and now you have more resources, lost no health and an other use for your big dinos. Op if this helped:)

have you encountered a problem taming one of these then put it on wander mode to gather wood passively in the near jungle then after a couple of hours theyre just gone! its lvl 200 and no other predator around and no notifications of it dying. happened trice so not a coincident.
Going for a lvl 70 on hard mode with crops? Get fkn ready. Torpor drains hella fast. Almost 200 bio toxins used already and taming is still at 15%. You use 25 bio toxins on this guy, get back to it in a minute cause torpor bar will be draining already.
2025 Valguero, you can still knock it out in a trap, and let it wake up and the food still drains while it’s up 🙌🏾
A very good mount for wood and even self defense. High level Castro does do a lot of damage, in early game I would take a high level for self defense. I could still build with it at protect myself at the same time. Have a team of a dodic, Castro, megaloceros, and argy you have yourself the perfect building team.
Knock them out and steal anything in their dams, they will wake up knowing nothing
This is just a suggestion when taming these guys, the higher the lvl the wood you can carry is outstanding, I have a lvl 200 something an admin gave me. (I play on unofficial servers) named gibby, I kept him until the server sadly closed (or I think it did) they can carry A MASSIVE amount of wood, on the server I play on now, I have a beaver, can u guess what I named him? Of course I named him gibby :D I wear swat gear (witch is VERY heavy as well as my fav primary weapons ALSO heavy) and even with all of that, I can come back with 1000 wood np, so if your in dire need of wood, this dude is your friend to consider. I hope this helped
You better put some sleeping bag, near their dam or any spot you preferred, before you raiding their dam.
When you start to open the inventory dam, quickly click "transfer all", then let them kill you
Respawn at the sleeping bag you recently put, then go to your corpse to loot back the previously raided item. And the good thing is, they will not aggroing you anymore

Is there any damn spawns on the island? if you read this and know if there are any respond pls.
Kill the beavers first before looting the dams. I ever tried looting without killing them, and i died trying to outrun them. This was when i was a newbie.
If u ever attack these DONT go in the water to try to escape..your dead if u do
