What are tips for sinomacrops? Tips and strategies for sinomacrops in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you want one super early game just spawn at the gloomy coast and get a moshchops to kill leaches (they give like 90-100 each) then get the leaches off and get a good sino with the chitin to get a jet pack. I like using them to safe spot or follow maewings to tame them.
Idont know if anyone mantioned it but babies eat chitin
If your base is in a wild Sino spawn region, keep your tame dung beetles safely out of sight. Wild Sinos will attack them otherwise.
They eat chitin and only chitin. Even after tamed. They do not like water so you cannot tame it if you’re in water or it will fly away fast and lose taming effectiveness. You also have to make sure your other tames with you are on passive or the wild sinomacrops will know and fly away scared. When you find one, get near it and it will get hearts around it and fly down to you. When it lands at your feet equip chitin in your end quick slot and feed it. Unequip the chitin from your quick slot. Then activate the taming tracker so you don’t lose it as they’re small. Follow it and wait until it gets hearts around it again and lands at your feet. Repeat process until tamed.
ARCHAEOPTERYX... but again and hopefully better :)
Spawn in desert towards the right side of the map close to the boarder.
If you let the sinomacrops walk up to you then surround it with standing torches and then a sign over the top. That is a good trap.
Spawn on the beach middle left of lost islands, find some bugs, kill them, harvest, puff in last item slot and crouch walk to sinoma crops feed passively.
Careful while flying because if you run out of stamina you will fall and die but any item you put into its inventory the weight is halved
