What is a castoroides used for? castoroides battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Tamed casteroids are one of the best wood getters. The most effective way is to hold it with a argy and go flying in a forest. The casteroid will get wood by itself. They can also be used as a better smithy if u pump their weight bc there is no slot limit so u can fit more stuff in it. It is also mobile which is great bc u can't pick up vanilla ark smithys in addition they also lower the weight of wood in their inventory making able to carry more. Also in the wild they are neutral unless u raid their damns which are great for getting rare flowers, cementing paste, silica pearls, and wood in which case they will attack u.
TIPP: (Wood generator)
As you know the Castoroides is one of the best wood collector and there is one interessting fact about him. He collects wood if a tree is in Front of him. But not like a doedicurus, the doedicurus surches for Stones to destroy them. The castoroides just collects the wood if it is in Front of him.
So I had an idea, what uf I place him right in Front of a tree so he instanly collects the wood when it spawns and it worked. Everytime I look inside his Inventar he has about 600 wood.
Do what I did and enjoy your wood generator👍

This how I raid beaver dams in ark:
First you should get a trex or some other tall, aggressive Dino. You will need them to hop on and escape or to kill the angered beavers. I recommend taking the cementing paste, peals , flowers and mushrooms first, depositing them in a chest then getting the wood. Since wood is heavy, drop it after picking it up. Once all items are taken from the dam it will break and the beavers will build a new one.
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.
