Guys I need your help, I have a sinomacrops but I cant open its inventory when its on my shoulder. I play on PC with a xbox controller connected. I should be able to press and hold the x button to open the menu where I can also open the inventory. It also doesn‘t work when I play on keyboard an press down the r button. The weird thing is also, that when its on my shoulder its stats are not shown on the side of my screen (stamina and weight should usualy be shown). I appreciate your help guys :)

(It's either Tek Helmet or Sinomacrops) there's a setting that allows you to see HP like direwolves

Wild ones also attack tames wearing chitin saddles.

Yay 😃 now we have organic tek gear that doesn’t need element just get tek boots and your good to go.

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

Too cute to kill. I dont think its gonna be strong.

These guys are so cute and I heard they glide so I would say it is a pretty useful for beginners and travelling around the map, chitin is kinda common because of bugs and them being almost everywhere this guy sounds like it’s early game. And I find it funny that it will attack you if u have chitin armour. Imagine you just walking around exploring the map and then this little guy starts attacking you. I love the idea of this creature and I can’t wait for lost island to come out :D

There supposed to be a passive tame probity with chitin

*READ BEFORE TAMING*

1. Have chitin in slot 0.

2. Get in vincinty

3.CROUCH SO IT DOESN'T SCARE

4. Bola and build 4 torches in a star shape then 1 sign over it

5. Profit

Literally the most underrated creature ever and it's taming us ez

Go to the swamps in lost island

Using a pt fly over till you spot a sino

Leave your pt and go to the sino

Stay in place while crouching an fit will come to you

When it lands near you don't sprint or it will be scared

Walk and feef it chiten

Boom you basically gave a Tek chest plate

The best place to tame these guys is a trench right by green oby, its at 61 lat 50 long. The trench makes it so they can only go certain directions and there's no brush or trees

Make sure to crouch and not run when close to it.

If you didn’t already know, shoulder pets reduce weight. This thing, is great for it(And is absolutely adorable). You find these on the Lost Island. The mutations might look great. Up for agreement.👍🏻

They are scared of your tames. So leave your mount behind. It took me a painfully long time to learn this, even though it was on the wiki.

It’s good if your high up and need to get down so you should try getting one when it comes out. 😉

I know this has probably been said but…

50% weight reduction on anything in their inventory

Its also a shoulder mount so the weight gets halved again in your inventory

In conclusion 75% WEIGHT REDUCTION ON ALL ITEMS

To tame get one out to the water if possible then follow it with a raft bc they can only land if on your raft like if this helped

Trapping it in a cage doesn’t work it will tell you “must be out of cage to tame” if you leave it in a cage it will just try to fly away it won’t land

Why is wildcard obsessed with flying squirrels, first maewing, now this

Just so u know they deal increased damage to chitinous creatures such as spiders, scorpions, arthros, and mantis

A thyla ripped my little sister of her mount and killed her sinomacrops. She went on a tirade and killed every thyla in the redwoods, and when she was happy with the lack of thylacleos in the redwoods. She moved on to the desert.

Point is it’s addictively cute.
