Just my 2 cents on wood gathering. At lower levels, I prefer the thorny dragon if its available on your map. They can be prime meat or mutton tamed much more quickly than the mammoth or beaver on berries/vegetables.
All the gatherers I use on a daily haha. I do have to shout out for the Desmodus though and its ability to gather spoiled meat which paired with a stego and an equuis makes for the best narcotic team on the go.
Stryder with the harvesting module for everything Mantis for nearly everything Magmasaur (for stone and metal) Tickle chicken for nearly everything especially fiber and hide, with the C attack they gather like 3 times the amount of hide and scrap metal(from tek creatures) that a rex can gather wich is super helpful late game to craft saddles from blueprints Moshcops also for nearly everything Mining drill even tho this is not a creature Megatheruims and dire bears are also great I didn't say anky and doedic, because the magmasaur gathers both metal and stone better than the anky and the doedic, but flint may be a problem
its generally easier to just use a angly or doedic since a magmasour is so big and i do my metal and stone farming separately plus my doedic is almost always FULL of stone and metal is too far to bring a magmasour all the way back home
@@MythicAce218 magmasaurs are much faster, they are big wich means bigger attack raduis, instead of an anky/doedic where you need to be so close to the rock so that you harvest it, Magmasaur is not slow like snails( I mean like ankys) Magmasaurs have more weight and can defend themselves very very well and most things don't aggro to them Also why having an anky and a doedic when you can have 1 creature that can do both thing,collects much more and in a much faster time in your cryopod, a pocket magmasaur in the inventory Also the most important thing, the magmasaur collect much more metal than the anky , like much more, just try a magmasaur and see how much it collects compared to the anky, and the magmasaur smelting metal is not that important because its slow but its a nice feature, if your crossbow breaks,you can uncryo the magma to smelt 8 metals into 4 metal ingot and repair the crossbow in the argy inventory if you are too far from home, and can't travel 5kilometers back and fourth, but other than that its not important
Stego has been my fave dino for yeeeaaaars. I was so happy when they got the TLC and I was justified in taming them XD Always have one for berry harvesting, and I'm honestly considering breeding them up for boss fights too. The dismount immunity is pretty huge. Love my giant spiky lizard XD
Great and fun video! Not only is an anky an easy early game tame (because it is so slow!), it also does well early game with crystal, obsidian and under-water oil rocks, because it is actually a decent swimmer. When I transition to industrial "age" and greenhouses, my anky always makes a come-back from neglectedly guarding the base...
Tek Stryder is the best gathering dino, but if you don't have the dlc you can always use the combo duo of Mantis to gather resources, and Titanosaur as a storage dino.
One of the best combos I've had is a chainsaw and a mammoth you can get 5000 wood from one tree with a chainsaw then turn around put all the wood in the mammoth which has 75% weight reduction
I love Theris, later in game I level one just to gather a ton of fiber to feed gachas. It may not be the most efficient food for them but Theris can gather so much quickly and the fibers weight makes it easier to manage in my opinion. As always thank you Phlinger for another amazing video!
fun fact! the Ank has a weight reduction on metal of 85% meaning that it tops every other dino in metal weight reduction, and also that it has the highest weight reduction stat of any other dino. also, my wonderful little armadillo friends have the exact same weight reduction as a basalisk, so for late game guys who want a reason to get a basa, here it is, if you needed another reason aside from being the best weighted fast dino in the game so far
Oh man I love ❤️ all ark vedios in your channel Because of you ark is part of my life You change everything for me I keep searching for your new vedios every day
Minor point here: Any creature that has a Tek variant spawns at a 20% higher level. That means, for most of us, a max wild level of 180 instead of 150. This saves a ton of time breeding for me. Tek stegosaurus are wayyyyy more common than rexes too. I play single player and like using the dinos I can find easily.
considering how early you can get a moschops plus they can tank most of the attacking dinos early (except in aberration, those pinning raptors make moschops particularly useless on that map if you are not careful). They have an excellent AOE compared to most dinos, they are very good at dealing with stealy birds though their lack of speed is poor against pegos. One of the best chitin harvesters meaning it is easy to make saddles for pterdons and argents early or for crafting cementing paste (yes the frog is better for this but it involves alot more to get). The moschops is also one of the few in the list that can be healed by using meat.
@@theNomadz yes, early game is where they really shine but later game when hunting after large volumes of organic polymer they still do a great job. People also underrate the combat abilities of this dino since if not mounted it is a timid creature but if I get a moderately leveled moschops early, unless it is a rex or an alpha (or equivalent) or you get dismounted then moschops can generally hold their own in combat.
When I need something that can carry the world on its back I swear by a basilisk. They're very good guard dog and mine have 5k and up on weight. And worst case scenario you can abandon your gatherer and go underground with the Basilisk to run from something if needed.
Doeds are great swimmers as well. Anky are tanks and can take down alphas. Love mantis mine have a sword, pick, axe and scythe for every occasion that may happen
I've always thought Theri's are the best when it comes to wood. The beaver's and the mammoths are good, but onec you get a few levels in the power harvesting on a theri's they get left for dust. I've had theri's get 1.0 to 1.5 k wood per tree, and the amount of rare flowers and mushrooms they can gather is off the charts. Yes, they're a pain in the caboose to tame, but worth it if you've the time and patience.
I am playing with single player settings off, and my theri has 2160 weight (after putting all levels into weight), so even without weight reduction, +2k weight after levelling many times, is more than enough, and you get things very fast then put them in the base and get another 2k weight of ressources
@@AdamGamingARK Even better if you've the capability and willingness to get a stacking mod, which usually has a built in weight reduction. They don't really do anything to change the game in any basic way, just makes the grind much easier.
why you dont explain that stryder can also connect to a tek storage, so you can harvest from very far away from base and the reasorces that the storage selected will automaticly teleported to the storage
I would much rather the Beaver over the Mammoth. My general harvest team includes a team of argy. I have 3-4 weight birds following a team leader that is mostly melee. I then have the team leader follow my argy while I carry my harvesters (this sets most of the argy pack further back so they don't swarm you when you stop). Some of them will auto harvest which is great but they only work to a % of the total weight. If your using S+ and have access to a basic transfer tool it gets even easier. Just set the harvester as the source before you start and every so often go first person view and target one of the following argy and offload. You can't carry a Mammoth in this manner but its one of the safest methods. Anything messes with you the Argy pack will wreck them (up to a point). The doed is also a great swimmer in a pinch!
So have your mammoth follow your therizino and get 10x as much wood visiting 1/10th as many trees. Also wondering if you know how to gather rare flowers with a therizino, and I'm not talking about those little patches on ragnarok. Walk your therizino up to cattails, dismount and it will harvest thousands of rare flowers in just minutes.
Icthyosaurus and Manta both have no knockback, so you can kill Eurypterids underwater without chasing them down. They don't have weight reduction for black pearls, but just about anything that can kill Eurypterids can harvest black pearls. I like Beezlbufos for black pearl farming. They're fast and get more black pearls than the other two tames, plus they do bonus damage to bugs.
@@TheMalT75 idk 75% reduction isnt hard to justify, for just a few pieces of honey. Albeit, that it is only on some maps, but playing on official clusters, not a horrible time getting one.
Never is an anky better for metal then a magmasaur... Magma is nearly twice as fast, has a stupid amount of carry weight and has weight reduction on metal just like the anky..
Just my 2 cents on wood gathering. At lower levels, I prefer the thorny dragon if its available on your map. They can be prime meat or mutton tamed much more quickly than the mammoth or beaver on berries/vegetables.
Agreed, then a roll rat afterward
tbh in general there better imo
Not to mention, having one of the coolest skins in the whole game for the saddle, I just be trottin around in my lil canopy saddle 😂
I always look forward to phlinger. So entertaining and you can tell he enjoys making content.
Phlinger is the best gatherer. Just add coffee.
All the gatherers I use on a daily haha. I do have to shout out for the Desmodus though and its ability to gather spoiled meat which paired with a stego and an equuis makes for the best narcotic team on the go.
Hey Phlinger, just noticed this video is featured on the ARK Community Crunch (230) via Steam. Awesome work buddy.
Hell yeah!
Stryder with the harvesting module for everything
Mantis for nearly everything
Magmasaur (for stone and metal)
Tickle chicken for nearly everything especially fiber and hide, with the C attack they gather like 3 times the amount of hide and scrap metal(from tek creatures) that a rex can gather wich is super helpful late game to craft saddles from blueprints
Moshcops also for nearly everything
Mining drill even tho this is not a creature
Megatheruims and dire bears are also great
I didn't say anky and doedic, because the magmasaur gathers both metal and stone better than the anky and the doedic, but flint may be a problem
its generally easier to just use a angly or doedic since a magmasour is so big and i do my metal and stone farming separately plus my doedic is almost always FULL of stone and metal is too far to bring a magmasour all the way back home

Also why having an anky and a doedic when you can have 1 creature that can do both thing,collects much more and in a much faster time in your cryopod, a pocket magmasaur in the inventory

stryders actually suck for wood.
For flint you can put stone in the grinder and make some if you need it
Always look forward to your content every morning.
Great content. Also, as a single player, I love the fact that you can put the doedic and moschop on wander to gather passively.
Stego has been my fave dino for yeeeaaaars. I was so happy when they got the TLC and I was justified in taming them XD Always have one for berry harvesting, and I'm honestly considering breeding them up for boss fights too. The dismount immunity is pretty huge. Love my giant spiky lizard XD

Hey you do a great job on your vids!!!I've learned a ton from you.
Tek Stryder is the best gathering dino, but if you don't have the dlc you can always use the combo duo of Mantis to gather resources, and Titanosaur as a storage dino.
Titanosaur wtf xd
Also there are mods that add the DLC Dino’s to other maps so you don’t have to buy them to use the exclusive tames
Good Morning Phlinger and Phamily, I hope you had an awesome weekend!
One of the best combos I've had is a chainsaw and a mammoth you can get 5000 wood from one tree with a chainsaw then turn around put all the wood in the mammoth which has 75% weight reduction
Another thing sasquatch is one of the best fiber gatherers. You get thousands of fiber and you can run and gather at the same time.
I love Theris, later in game I level one just to gather a ton of fiber to feed gachas. It may not be the most efficient food for them but Theris can gather so much quickly and the fibers weight makes it easier to manage in my opinion. As always thank you Phlinger for another amazing video!

Didn't know about the saddle bags, cheers for the tip!
My favorite for berries/Fiber is the Maewing, belly flop collect massive amounts. Good carry weight and super fast travel too.
Oh man I love ❤️ all ark vedios in your channel
Because of you ark is part of my life
You change everything for me
I keep searching for your new vedios every day
Do you use dedicated storage in your play through matched up with the strider there unbelievable
Rhank you for another video Phlinger. You have helped me out so much in ark. Strikers can only be found on genius 2 correct?
Megatheriums are super useful as well... They gather chitin, fiber, hide, meat, thatch, wood, berries + they have the bug-buff.
love stryders, but there a major pain to tame, iv spent days trying to tame 1
If you just want one for gathering, you can just get a super low level one and they'll still be awesome for that purpose.
The Tek Stryders are amazing. Ever since they came out my first step on any playthrough is a trip to Gen 2 to tame one for each map. :)
Procoptodon are the best at berries by far (and land traveling in general), but often forgotten.

Argent anky combo rocks
How do you gather berries with a mantis?
I would say roll rat is best for wood
But, if you factor in ease of taming, saddle requirements and map availability the roll rat becomes harder to justify...
@@TheMalT75 ur right i forgot about that saddle,i usually use a chainsaw and a tek leggings

Nice list. I like my saber cats for animal harvesting but otherwise my list is basically identical to yours.
I have question please please
Answer me way you don't play on official servers
It's mor fuun
id rather a diplo over a stego for berries easy to tame too. Stego will give me an anxiety and panic attack by the time it takes its 5th step
Diplo's are stupid fast too.
No direbear?
Excellent
Trike:just left the chat
Why the magmasaur its not in the list O.o .... literally is no contest the best for stone/obsidian/crystals/metal combo .
Never is an anky better for metal then a magmasaur... Magma is nearly twice as fast, has a stupid amount of carry weight and has weight reduction on metal just like the anky..
comment down below. :D
I enjoy me some megatherium.
Morning phlinger, my " comment down below" :)
Why most these dinos not on my ark game ?????
I think its good!
1. STRYDER
2. MAMMOTH
4. ANKY
4. THERIZ
Magma is better then anky for metal.
S.Dragon is better then beaver for wood.
Nice

The dodo god and is the best farm dino
The anti Sandy Beaver propaganda in this video is strong. The slander isn’t even required in words. Your actions speak enough Phlinger. 😭😂
Magnasaur way waaaay better then a anky
👍
Hi o.o/
Here is a coment down below just because :)
Ok.
