With the new TLC, it has OUTSTANDING thatch collecting ( 1000 in 4 trees with a max charge. )
More Triceratops Utility Tips
Utility Roles for Trike:
1. Tank. When faced with head on damage, they have a damage reduction. Be sure to pair with mate for extra damage resistance (level Health).
2. Short Range Scout. The Trike is not very fast, but again, due to the damage resistance it has (and it's just general beefiness), it can serve as a good scout for early game. Much better than the Para in that regard (level Health, Stam, and Movement Speed).
3. Harvester. This boi can collect quite a decent amount of wood and fiber, much more than you can by hand. Use with Charge attack for extra resources! (level Weight and Stamina).
4. Defender. Use him to defend your base and smaller tames. Really the only early game threat a Trike can't handle are alphas and the occasional Theri. But trust me, I've seen one of these things face down a Sarco and live (level Health and Melee Damage)

Trike is the first good tame you gonna do.
Farmer: Its the best early tame for berries, thatch, wood.
Fighter: Can kill everything smaller than rex-allosaurus with the knockback, so when you get trike the only fear is bronto (dont try fight bronto with it) . And much important, it is one of the few tames that dmg almost in every side of it, front-left-right and UP, doing it a decent fighter against birds too, if i could bring it on caves that no jump needed i wouldn't ask for another tame ever (killing bats)
The downside: its difficult to tame. 1) on hit and run he's gonna outrun you (and other trikes help him too), 2) On 'find a spot and throw him rocks (slingshot) seems good but after he got much torpidity it will run away fast on forest or sea and never see him again 3) Trapping him between wood walls-doorframes would work only if you play on 0-30 levels of creatures, in other case it will fck the wooden building immediately. And stone buildings are very far away when you start game
To sum up, no matter the difficulty of taming, its the best early game you gonna get and i mean it.
If the triceratops head is glowing that means there is a large predator nearby
If you ever catch these guys in the wild and wonder why their heads are glowing red, you should probably run because thereβs a Rex/Spino in the area.
I can not stress enough to my friends how useful the trike is. Early game it makes a great pack animal. Late game in groups of three or four it can be used as a decent battle mount. Taming a trike early on can be a great way to start a large base and keep you well fed with berries.
If one of these guys has a glowing head, run away because there is a large predator like a Spino or Rex nearby
Cool tip!
Just realized, if you put rockarrots in their inventory they wonβt spoil!
βοΈ So nubs can see!!
Get as soon as you get tranq arrows, it's so useful. Can take out raptors, carnos, terror birds, sarcos, titanoboas, insects, all the things that kill noobs quickly. Just put lots into stamina, some into mele, and spam that attack button.
