If you set it to wander it gathers stone then comes back to you right before it gets encumbered, so they autofarm stone basically

Basic Logic For Basic Materials

Therizinosaurus = General/Fiber

Doedicurus = Stone

Casteroides = Wood

Ankylo = Metal/Flint

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.

The new update reduced the weight of stone on this bad boy by 75%

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

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!

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.

There’s a way to fully lock a wild doed in place (or atleast on UME)

1; Get plant species Z fruit

2: find a doed

3: Hit the doed until it enters its shell

4: throw the fruit at it, it will become confused and “leave the shell” but technically still in it. The game becomes confused as its ment to be in the shell and it is and not at the same time, so it stays immobile.

The one i hit is still there.

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

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.

Really fun to roll around on.

They can not gather metal

Use an argy to pick it up and fly by stone and it auto farms the stone. This process is a lot quicker than rolling around on the doed. Lvl up melee- Farms more per swing. Lvl up weight- Can hold more rock.

Side note. They have a 75/ weight reduction on stone.

Rock man can roll

Rock man excels at getting rock

Rock man decent swimmer do not recommend though

Love Rock man

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

More damage = more stone per hit

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!

Best for harvesting stone, and can roll.

This is a real "MUST HAVE" tame
