The phiomia is a good source of meat and hide in the wild, also it is a good starter tame and very easy to get your hands on. The phiomia can be useful at times due to its poop, as a noob I thought they were very useful because they can carry items for you and your tribe.
Tame ten of these phimomias and tame ten dung beetles. Force feed stim berries to phiomia and put dung beetles on wander. Load up the beetles with poop and BOOM infinite fertilizer and oil.
Feed them stimberries. Then get a mop. Do NOT bring them inside your freshly crafted tek base. I learned this the hard way. Over 300 medium animal crap.
