Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Castoroides in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Useful for quick farming on metal and cementing paste they drop walls that drop a thousand metal and two hundred plus cementing paste watch out though they pack a punch

It gathers wood better than the mammoth but the mammoth has better carrying weight. Bring the beaver for short trips near your base and bring the mammoth for the longer wood gathering binges

Dododex says you can’t pick up these furry potatoes with an argie, but that’s not true. Argie can carry them, and I’d actually recommend it, because smacking one with a narcotic while they’re in their base area will cause the entire damn dam to swarm you. Do keep in…
