Tips & Strategies
Tame them by giving them chitin from your last Slot. It will fly away so track it with the taming hud and wait till it lands again to feed it. Do not wear chitin armor or it will aggro to you.
Xbox controls:
Glide: Crouch button, while gliding you can click the left stick to go into a different glide mode.
Parachute: Hold crouch button
Fly: Hold Jump button
Inventory: Hold interact while they are on your back
Scream: Use the clap emote or hold interact while they are on your back
Note: sinos eat chitin to make up for lost stamina so put a decent amount in their inventory.
Best place to find and tame them is by The Coast 20x35 just follow The beach and you will find them, dont forget to have chitin in your last slot and they will find you.
If you want to get one follow these steps
Step 1. Build a raft or get a flyer
Step 2. Look around beaches or swamps with for raft/flyer then u just gotta kill the bugs ( get around 40 chitin or over )
Step 3. Go to a sino spawn
Step 4. Find one and tame it, it’s a passive tame so don’t knock it out and once one goes to you, feed it then track it just don’t chase it or else it won’t like you and it will keep flying away.
And there you go your own lil jetpack

Do NOT chase it when taming. It will make it angry and scare it off. Let it come to you. When you see hearts, it means it still likes you and is hungry. Crouch and let it come to you and feed it until it tames. Much easier than chasing it all over creation. Good luck.
You don’t trap it you just stand there and it will come to you (you see hearts icons on it ) when it comes close feed it chitin (put it in the last slot of the bar ) and it will fly away don’t follow it it will come back once its hungry again , you just track it in the taming list and make sure it doesn’t go too far away (more than 100m) it might get stuck on buildings or rocks on its way back to you
Crouch within 60-50m from it, when it reaches 19m it will have hearts to you, have the chitin in the last slot for it then feed it with your corresponding button or key, it will eat it, fly up and fly away, you can chase it, just chase it while crouched unless it's 60+ meters away, then repeat
Like if this helps
Once fed let it fly off to about 50m and slowly follow it keeping between 50-100. Once it starts closing the distance again stop and wait. They will approach you, feed and repeat. After 50% lean more towards the 100 meters as they like their distance.
i’ve found it works best to lure the sino over water and build a raft so they don’t fly some where u can’t go or any dangerous areas
Want to tame one of the best shoulder pets? (Aside from otter). This is what you need. Chitin 50-100 grapple gun (recommended). DO NOT USE CHITIN ARMOR OR IT WILL AGGRO. Sinomacrops usually spawn in the forest and swamp. When finding one move close but not too close or it will run away. After it lands creep up and feed it chitin, track it and keep doing it until you tame it! When tamed you need to make sure it doesn't die because it only eats chitin. Best way of getting chitin is to kill bugs with a megatherium. Thank you for reading this!
It lives in Ferngully. It's name is Batty.
It’s a bag it’s a bitty bat meow looks like it will be a shoulder mount
1.Make sure you have chitin in your last item slot and make sure you have a decent amount of it. 2.When you find one you should get as close as possible while in regular walk mode and crouch and slowly walk toward them until you get about 18-22 feet away from it or until you see the hearts sprite. (never sprint or jump while near it or you may scare it, resetting the taming timer each time) 3. once you see the hearts pop up slowly back up while in crouch mode and the sino will follow you when it lands it will either slowly crawl to you or jump when it gets close enough simply feet it the chitin when prompted. Once you have the sino in the taming process be sure to track it in the taming log so you know where it is. 4. It will be ready to eat another chitin every 16 seconds. Repeat step “2-3” until tamed. Make sure to clear out all hostile and big Dino’s before you do this big Dino’s and your own tames like wyverns can scare Sino’s if they come to close while taming.
The Standing Torches and Sign technique will not work on console. The proximity radius restrictions are slightly higher making it easy for it to get out of the gaps.
