Tips & Strategies
Dodos are AMAZING tames for beginners for these reasons
1. They die for you ( other beginner tames usually run away)
2. Enough dodos can kill a turtle (carbonemeys)
3. They lay eggs fast (good for simple kibble farms)
4. You can carry them (you can grab them and run away from danger)
5. If you want to breed them you can just trap them in between some small storage boxes. You don’t even have to make walls for them to breed in
6. They are disposable. They are very common and easy to just tame another one if your original dies
7. They poop consistently (good for beginner farms)
8. They are simple (you can give them a lot of berries and they won’t go hungry for a long time)
9. You can tame them by knocking them out with your fists
10. If you level up their health you can grab one and throw it at a dangerous creature as you run away.
Those are ten reasons why dodos are great tames for beginners
More Dodo Utility Tips
You can get prime meat from the babies, but it spoils very quick, so this is how to get it all to a predator:
1. Incubate lots of dodo eggs so they only have one or two seconds left to hatch.
2. Carry the dodo eggs as well as a campfire (you might need two) and fuel.
3. When you’ve knocked out the predator you want, light the fire and hatch some of the dodo eggs.
4. Kill the babies and harvest their meat with a metal pick.
5. Feed the meat to the predator and enjoy!
I’ve experimented, and it looks like you get two to six prime per dodo.
Dodo's have a chance to lay an egg every time they poop. So force-feed them a bunch of stimberries (That will make them poop, and lay eggs)! Just make sure that you have some regular berries because it will make their food go down. Never again will you have to worry about obtaining Dodo eggs. You will only need to tame one!
