I’ve seen a lot of tips on harvesting obsidian and metal of people complaining how they get only stone from harvesting it and that’s because the doedic only harvests stone

Taming even a low-mid level can turn building in stone into an afternoon instead of a weekend. Highly recommended must have dino for everyone.

One of ark’s essential tames alongside the trike (berries), anky (metal), argent (heavy travel), ptera (quick travel & argent taming), and beaver (wood).

Just a quick tip, dont get a high level one of these or an anky when using em for harvesting. Instead breed you an Argy specializing in weight and fly the doe/anky around to the stone/metal spots. Gather manually via doe/anky

On Ark Mobile, at least, Argies can pick tamed ones up and they’ll auto mine stone when you fly near rocks, making it a great combo for when you have both of them and don’t want to waste durability of your hatchet.

Me: So you can harvest the most stone out of any method, take a quarter of the weight, but can’t break stone walls…

Doedicurus: Yes.

The Doedic is one of the most essential Dino's on ark. It's the most important thing when building stone buildings, or other stone structures. The higher the level the better, and weight is essential!

You can actually get these to charge by left swipe on mobile.

Equip your Doedicurus with a saddle, pick it up with an Argentavis and fly near rocks as it automatically harvests the stone as you fly. Level up the melee damage to harvest more stone with each swing. Level up your Argentavis’ weight capacity be an insane stone harvest team.

In crystal isles they get gobs of organic polymer from the giant bee cave up so people know

Survival experts call this "edible"

They no longer harvest obsidian, just stone. Not sure if they changed it with the new patch, but tried to collect obsidian in the Center with him and all I got was stone.

They can not gather metal

Really fun to roll around on.

Doedicurus will now automatically attack stone rocks. Easily fly them close to the ground or have it wandering in a enclosed rocky field, and this little dude will smash away!

This dude can harvest stone like it’s nothing. Seriously this thing saved so much of my time and effort on building a big stone base.

Doesn't gather element dust!!!!

If it curls it takes a lot more arrows

Anyone else understand why it's faster in water than it's bigger relative, the Carbenymas I mean. (yet the carbon is built for swimming while the doedic is not)?

Earlier I was on ARK Mobile. I have a massive wall around my base so my creatures can walk around in it. I went to my Doedicurus to put a saddle on it when I discovered it had almost 1300 stone in its inventory. Doedicurus when wandering autonomously destroy rocks to collect stones.
