How to build dam farm:
Needed:
12 foundations (preferably stone)
12-24 doorframe (preferably stone)
1)find an already existing dam
2)build a 3x3 box around the dam with fence foundations
3)place doorframe on top of the foundations;if the dam is underwater, put enough layers for the top doorframe to be out of the water
4)using an argie, pick up 2 to 3 beavers and drop them into the box. 2 is the minimum number needed for them to spawn a dam but I find that 3 works better. (note:if you want more dams, bring beavers from another spawn location as no more beavers will naturally spawn in that area. Its also preferable to build another box so they don't end up pushing each other out the top)
Dams will spawn around every 12 hours
Remember to not leave the items you don't want in the dam. Drop them so that the beavers can spawn a new one without having the dam demolish after a week.
More Castoroides Utility Tips
They know longer cut the weight of wood by 1/4. They reduced it to 1/2.
If you carry a wild Castoroides and put it in your waters it will make its own dam. Easy materials in bulk!
These things are amazing! If you find a wild one, then thatβs great because you can raid itβs dam for some cementing paste. Now, if you tame one, the beaver sadly wonβt make any dams. But, you can now harvest a bunch of wood with it if you put it on wandering or use a saddle. If you think itβs a bit dangerous running on the ground, let me introduce you to one of the greatest things in this game for gathering, auto-harvest. Just get an argentavis and itβs saddle, grab a tamed beaver, and go up to a tree and let the beaver hit it. ( Put on wandering for the beaver for it to work) This is way safer than being on the ground. To get way more wood, put some levels into melee and even weight if you want to. Auto-harvest also works with ankylosaurus and doedicurus.
My last tip was on the ichthyosaurus

To get stuff frot their dams place a sleeping bag, transfer the whole dam inventory then let them kill you. After respawning retake your stuff again, they dont attack you anymore.
Thumb up pls,for help.
These should be able to make dams while tamed
This creature has a bonus where all wood placed on him will way significantly less. So Pitt all your wood on him
Wild castoroides sometimes build dams which can contain cementing paste, wood, silica pearls, rare flowers and mushrooms. But accessing the inventory of a dam will make the beavers angry so watch out!
If u move a wild 1 away from spawn an put in trap they will build more dams currently got 4 wild 1s in trap around every 30 minute to hour there's a new dam collect the stuff wait an pops up another couple of dams
Seems to harvest more wood per hit than a mammoth, but the mammoth has better weight reduction, so just get your hairy-elephant to follow your splinter-mouse. Now admire the open plain where a proud forest once stood and laugh uncomfortably.
Everyone. TAMING OR KILLING THESE MFERS DOESNT MATTER THE GAME WILL RESPAWN MORE. Also when you take stuff out of the dams, dump the rest of the stuff out to destroy the dam. They wonβt fill the dam again until itβs destroyed. Nobody likes opening a damn to find a bunch of wood!!!!
