What is a dimetrodon used for? dimetrodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
These guys work well for mutation breeding projects that involve large egg layers. Breeding tamed like brontos, Gigas, and Carch's can take up a massive amount of space and sometimes you can't fit as many as you'd like indoors or inside your tek FF without them all stacking on top of each other. These guys let you spread out more and unlike an AC if you need to move it you don't have to waste valuable resources.
Dimetrodon kibble is one of the required kibbles for imprinting. However, it can be difficult to see when they lay eggs, as they will be on top of the eggs. To fix this, build a pen and put them all inside. Then, put them all on wander. If you have a male, you can leave him stationary, or neuter him and put him on wander.
This thing provides insulation buff - and is better than air con!
Air con = 100 insulation
Dimetro = 1 insulation per 1% melee damage
Ex. 300% melee dmg = 300 insulation
Plus, Dimetro is portable and doesn't require electricity!
Only problem is how difficult they are to tame...
That torpor drain needs to be nerfed.
Tame one female dimetridon because if you are raising baby spinos rexes Gigas or any other giant carnivore (medium size or small idk) there's a big chance of babies wanting dimetridon kibble and I know the some players problems is that dimetridon egg is hard to find from swamps and rivers so tame one female so it can lay eggs no need for male (unless for emergency kibble)
Side comment: I wish I had tame one sooner my spino just got 84 percent imprint :(
Good for egg hatching tho if you have many dimetridon (I'm an ark mobile player)
