Ignore all comments about wild castoroides being able to build giant beaver dams. They're making it up.
Giant beaver dams spawn alongside 2 Castoroides, so if you spawn in south zone 2 and see a giant beaver dam, kill all the castoroides plus some coelacanths, and you'll get another beaver dam plus 2 beavers, which again, you should kill plus some coelacanths to free up space for more giant beaver dams to spawn.
Wild giant queen bees can't build bee hives, so don't expect wild castoroides to be able to build giant beaver dams.

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

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!!!!
