Typically this dino is tamed or bred with the intention of acting as a 'tank' or 'sponge' which means most players choose to pump stats into its Health Points (HP). This multi-use feature makes them great regardless of the terrain (within reason). Once tamed they, although slow in movement speed, can move both on the land and in water without the player being kicked. This is the primary reason why a Carbonemys is recommended as a starter tame. Having early on access to most areas of the map really does set players and tribes apart. In addition to this, the eggs which the produce are a base ingredient for many kibble recepies that you may need later on, so far the eggs as often as you can.

(DISCLAIMER: Always keep your high end items locked away, but for simple items this is a great use). This means that if someone was to kill on of these at your base, players would not consider to loot it or access its inventory, which then makes them a clever place to store certain items. Not only can they act as guard dogs or an alert system by strategically placing these in your base, of which you will be notified if they kill or are killed, but also an often overlooked use is that they are considered small throwaway dinos. The benfit of both the Dodo and the Dilo is that they have multiple useful functions. Of course, the Dilo will attack you on site (with a certain proximity) so be wary of this (a bola is recommened), but both dinos/creatures should not provide you with much trouble. Regardless of the level they are also easy to knock out and tame. These dinos act as one of the best starting dinos simply due to the fact that they spawn almos everywhere. Once tamed and a saddle has been crafted you will be able to travel with adequate speed to most areas of the map in order to explore, farm and you can even pick up other players and smaller dinos with it's grab feature (subject to weight carry capacity).

With the simple use of a Bola and a few tranq arrows, most players can easily knock out a Pterandon of a relatively decent level (1-50 recommended for new players). The reason for a Pteranadon being the flyer of choice, at this stage, is due to their abundance in most regions of the game (great for safe start zones) and also the fact that they are passive dinos and so will typically flee when attacked rather than turn on the attacker, therefore greatly reducing the threat level when attempting to tame. Taming any form of flyer early on is what most players will aim to do.

This too can be increased per level, however not only sprinting but also attacking/gathering significantly reduces the stamina, so that is something to be mindful of.īeing able to freely travel the map and farm resources is one of the major advantages that will set your survivor/tribe apart early on. The only negatives are the low stamina and movement speed. Due to them taking less damage directly to the head, when mounted they can be used to kill most dinos, provided the level is not significantly higher. The result of this is you will have an unlimited supply to be used when taming all other (non passive) creatures and can also be crafted into tranq arrows.īeing one of the best beginning 'farmer' dinos is not the only strength of the Trike, as they have good base HP (health points) and if increased a good attack. Upon taming a Trike you will find it far easier to harvest narco berries, which of course are used with spoilt meat in the mortor and pestle to make narcotic pastes. A useful thing to note is that the higher the melee attach of this dino the more resources it can gether per attack/swipe. Not only the amount they can harvest per bush but also the amount they can carry is a vast imcrease than if you were to gether by hand. The main reason for a Trike as an initial tame is to be a farmer/berry gatherer.
