Good Large poop source for early game

Mobile player here! May differ for others.

Push yourself between two rocks and get it to come over, they are incredibly friendly and will happily nuzzle you like mad. Also they’re basically just big babies, protect them at all costs.

They can’t have their damage leveled after a certain point but make wonderful tanks (aka very useful for metal runs if you need something to carry it all and don’t have a bronto.) bring another tame to follow it (done by whistling for them while on the tames back.) and let it protect them! I use my spino, Butch.

Good bait to use to agro a giga to your trap due to its large health pool and zero damage can provide a good distraction

These things are annoying as heck but a good tame just make sure it doesn’t send you flying

These guys may not be any good for combat but are ideal for metal runs just make sure you have something protecting you and your diplo

Build a small pin (for you) I used one foundation and 4 window frames. The dippy stands on top and you won't be moved at all. Tame away!

A way to skip the wait after you initially feed it is to sleep in a sleeping bag (mine was 1 hour and 14 min, i used a bunk bed and it skipped most of that time), then after that feed it a second time, position yourself between its 2 front legs while it is doing its eating animation, so that it will keep attacking but won't knock you back, and just afk and feed it every 25-45 seconds.

also be sure to do this in a safe place, since if it gets hit once your taming progress will reset.

There’s a sweet spot slightly between but kind of behind the front legs where it won’t reposition itself nor push you away. Once you find that spot you don’t need to move at all, making taming these guys a little easier.

You can possibly have 12 people instead of 11 people on ur diplo. 11 people go on the saddle while person number 12 rides the tail (its kinda tricky to get on there tho).

I came up with this when i accidentally got picked up by my diplo's tail

They always spawn on cliffs or plateaus, i've noticed. Just so they can knock you off. Be wary of these!

Lystro kibble helps a ton.

If you stand under diplos they can’t hit you, you need lots of time and hundreds of berries.

If you have a Archaeopteryx, use the diplodocus to get a good start on your glide and youll gain a bunch of speed. If you need to get somewhere fast but dont want the hassle of running and trying to not die, definitely find yourself a diplodocus.

Don't underestimate the knock back of these guys! I was once knocked off a cliff to like 10 HP and the guy followed me down and proceeded to chuck me across the landscape.

Upgrade its weight and use it like a trailer for wood and thatch

First feeding is supper long..... then every 2 mins feed kibble --- then just like that your done

Somebody should’ve said sooner that their little bops don’t hurt. I fed him a mejoberry and he proceeded to come after me hit me one time idk if it hurt all I knew was I ran asap. And that it’s easier to tame them passively by giving them mejo instead of shooting tranq arrows

If you're on PC then subscribe to the Damaging Diplodocus mod, it allows Diplodocus to use a tail whip and stomp attack, as well as a platform saddle (it basically turns Diplodocus into a speedy bronto)

If you stand between their front legs they won’t be able to hit you and they won’t move.

Mine just killed a meganeura while transporting metal ingots through smuggler's pass!
