What is a castoroides used for? castoroides battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Okokokok so these things are GREAT! the saddle serves as smithy, they collect wood, fiber and thatch EXTREMELY well(not as good as a few other dinos but you get my point), and they are an early-game tame(although saddle is 61, it is still useful before then)and are still good in mid to late game! I would suggest taking one of these as fast as possible.
Do not tame unless for achievement. The reason is for the cementing paste. Small dam yields a few hundred while large yields a thousand. Use a Bola right after harvesting the dam to have time for getting the stacks of wood out of your inventory. Clear the dam for faster reloading of cementing paste.
These guys are only good In the wild just because they will rebuild and replenish the dams me and my friend have one that we get about 2000 cementing paste a week that we are built close to it makes building metal structures and whatever else needs cementing paste super easy
