I saw a tip that claimed you can carry the wild beaver and drop it into waters near you and it will make dams there.. if that is true that’s one nword of a tip. It goes hand-in-hand with one method that I use with the beaver.

I load up a rifle with regular tranq darts. I knocked the beavers out while they’re in deep waters so that they’re insulated and protected by the water so no other creatures go and murder them…. Then I raid the dams.. It works really well… I’ve just been too lazy to build a stone box around the knocked out Beaver..

But if you can carry a wild beaver to your water hole, knock him out, build a stone isolation pen for him…. You’re set… in theory.. at least in PVE.

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

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.

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

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 won’t fill the dam again until it’s destroyed. Nobody likes opening a damn to find a bunch of wood!!!!
