They know longer cut the weight of wood by 1/4. They reduced it to 1/2.

Idk if I’m just an idiot and haven’t seen this on Dododex before, but if you trap a beaver near water with a wooden platform, four wooden doorways, and two wooden ramps, don’t tame it and it will build dams in it. Up so newbies see

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 that’s great because you can raid it’s dam for some cementing paste. Now, if you tame one, the beaver sadly won’t 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 it’s 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 it’s 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

-Some random Ark Mobile player

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.

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!

This creature has a bonus where all wood placed on him will way significantly less. So Pitt all your wood on him

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.

In the wild these creatures can have dams that can give you rare mushrooms and flowers including cementing paste which can be a pain to craft so instead you can just take the paste from there dams

A castoroid will collect wood from trees if it's on wandering.
