Once you manage to sit through the tame, these things can be absolutely amazing for gathering berries.
You'll need two people, a quetzal, and your shiny new stego.
Have one person on the quetz, one on the stego, and have the quetzal pick up the stego in its big chicken feet.
The quetz may now fly around, very close to the ground, and the stego can swing to get constant berries.
Don't spam the "swing" button, or you won't gather anything. Wait until the swing animation is over, and then tap it again.
When the quetzal is encumbered, they can drop the stego to regain stamina, the person on the stego can drop the undesired goodies, and you can go off again.

Ark Survival Ultimate Mobile Edition:
Stego got three stance
1. Red/Buffed/Shield Icon: Half dmg taken from everything, good for gathering wood
2.Blue/Heavy/Mace Icon: Attack cause slow effect, good for thatch gathering
3.White/Sharpen/Sword Icon: Deal armor piercing attack, stance for berry gathering

With the new TLC the stego can easily become a must-tame early game dino for many players. It has 3 stances when ridden you can change between pressing C (crouch):
Heavy plate, boosting thatch gather rates and applying a heavy slow on hit targets.
Sharp plate, boosting berry gathering and attacks penetrate armour (useful for PvP).
Hardened plate, boosting wood gather and halves damage taken.
For combat, heavy plate is great for effectively rooting enemy and wild dinos in place, whilst hardened plate is to tank everything that comes at you. Sharpened plate shines together with allies that can slow and/or tank whilst you focus on dealing good dmg.
The alternate attack of the stego can impale creatures up to the size of roughly a parasaur, dealing damage based on attack damage. In order to do so the target must have a certain amount of health left, which is highlighted with the crosshair turning red when looking at the target (unsure how it is shown without crosshairs).
Single player uses:
1. Gatherer: Stegosaurus is among the best wood and thatch gatherers, and is also a good berry gatherer.
2. Early game power dino: Stegos are slower than a sloth on melatonin, but they are tanky for their size.
3. Redwood mount: You can't get dismounted while riding it, need I say more?
