These beavers have become one of my most used "Dino". Their ability to hold wood at 25% weight and stone at 50% weight comes in handy when building. I recommend lvling weight and breeding high lvl beavers. Breeding is very easy. Once they are born and imprinted let them wander around bushes in a protected area. They will passively collect berries to their full weight capacity (full as in once they're grown). This means they are self sufficient even in the baby stage.

Didn’t see this mentioned so I’ll share so someone else doesn’t panic like I did lol

Always bring some kind of torpor adding substance with you when taming if you don’t have/can’t make the kibble. If you’re taming with crops or berries, you’ll have to add narcotics or narcoberries etc to keep them out because their torpor drains faster than the time they’ll be tamed in. :) I’ve gotten a couple during the summer event now both under level 100 for the neat colors and used over 200 narcotic between the two? 🥴 Don’t remember the first, but used 110 on the level 70 I just tamed while writing this & had 97.5% taming effectiveness. ^_^b

I found out how to get resources from this creature 100% safe, you'll need an arge with a saddle,grab the castoroides and take it next to your base if you live near the sea like I do , then just let him work and everytime you want to collect resources from his home just use normal tranq arrow he sleep after the 3-5 arrows when he wakes up he won't agro you (it's on easy mode gameplay,low lvl)

Eassyy wood hack, build a triangular pen with 3 STONE dino dino gateway and reinforced doors on each of them( make sure they are stone so as to take zero damage from beaver raging)

lead beavers into them (personally I used a argy to carry them in), and wah lah free wood and precious resource once in awhile

Make sure u leave enough space for u to fit thru to access its nest.

DO NOT TAME THEM, tamed beavers don’t produce nests

The wild beavers don’t have to be near a water body to produce nest btw, I have 2 wild beavers trapped on a hill far from river and they still produce fine.

This little rodent is one of the best harvesters. They can harvest plenty of wood and thatch, berries, etc.. they also have excellent weight. They have decent melee damage, and here is how to get your own.

1. Make the kibble on whatever device your on.

2. Find this very big beaver. They are found around rivers and build dams.

3. Knock it out with tranq darts

4. Feed the kibble and a bunch of berries (use bio toxin to keep unconscious)

5. If tamed, put the saddle on it and take it home.

6, extra information. Wild castorodies have a chance to have black pearls! But be careful, looking in their dam inventory makes them Argo.
