Tips & Strategies
How to mass farm organic polymer:
1. Assemble a penguin killing duo consisting of an argy and a pelagornis (preferably both high level)
2. Prepare a high quality set of hide/chitin/flak armour to keep you warm. You can also just use fur armour but fur armour weighs a lot more than other types of armour
3. Get a wooden club and prepare at least 16 wood and 64 fibre to repair it (they break very quickly)
4. Get to the icebergs in the northwest of the island
5. Try to one shot kill every penguin since this way other penguins won’t run away
6. Harvest baby penguin bodies with your pelagornis. Harvest adult penguin bodies with your club. For juvenile and adolescent penguins, use either cuz they seem to be similarly efficient
7. If you’re on PC, load the organic polymer into the pelagornis until it gets slowed down due to weight, then load the remaining polymer into the argy. If you’re on mobile, load all of the polymer into the argy cuz the pelagornis’ 80% weight reduction for organic polymer does not work on mobile, but the 50% weight reduction of the argy does.
8. Enjoy your hundreds if not thousands of organic polymer.
9. You can also convert your organic polymer into normal polymer if you set your game to return all materials when you destroy a structure or casual mode if you’re on mobile. Just craft fridges with organic polymer and destroy them. The game will return normal polymer to you.
This is very useful if you have some blueprints that require an absurd amount of polymer or organic polymer (eg ascendent rocket launcher/assault rifle or ascendent gillie armour)

Perhaps i belong on a war crimes list for this, but i have a male and female of these with breeding enabled in a building with a dimetrodon set to aggressive, the dimetrodon hatches the eggs with enough melee stat and then eats the hatched babies for an infinite polymer farm
Their sole purpose is to be killed for organic polymer, but you can tame and breed them for it:
Tame a whole bunch of them (you only need one male), and a dimetrodon and pelagornis.
Level the dimetrodon's melee damage a whole bunch and put it in a cage surrounded by penguins set to mating. Put the pelagornis in with them at set it to aggressive, the dimetrodon will incubate the penguin eggs and the pelagornis will immediately kill them when they hatch, free organic polymer factory.
