One other tip for sorting: your search filters (both in your dino inventory and your own inventory) affect the Drop All and Transfer All commands. So if you search 'narcober' in an inventory and then click 'transfer all', you'll ONLY move the narcoberries and seeds. Really useful if you have a lot of stacks to deal with, instead of having to hunt and click-drag each one. Also, just a few control tips for other players, since they're rarely mentioned or not well known: -F can immediately go to anything's inventory so you don't need to use the radial menu. (Just like it can access your mount's inventory when on it.) Useful to prevent you from accidentally mounting, as well as to prevent you from accidentally turning on devices/lighting fires. -When in an inventory screen, T allows you to immediately transfer units without having to click or drag. Just mouse over the item and press T. (Shift and CTRL T also work for divvying up stacks.)
Bregan Young think you're replying to the wrong comment mate. I was telling someone above who claimed nooblet's voice was some kind of text-to-speech program that they are wrong.
Great update! The Direbear is more than just a gatherer - they're probably the best multipurpose land mount in the game, and IMO the best pack mule. With a base carry weight of 650 and a base melee damage of 50/65, they can not only easily carry your burdens, but also lay waste to anything that would dare try to attack you. You can offload eleven stacks of stone on even a weak bear without encumbering it significantly, and it's not inconceivable to have a bear with a weight of 1,000 or more. A single Direbear pack mule will vastly improve your efficiency gathering materials on a Doed, Ankylo, Megaloceros or any berry gatherer, allowing you to extend your range before returning to unload. Just mount up on the gatherer and whistle "You Follow Me" at the bear, and put the bear on Neutral. The Doed's base weight is a mere 250; on an Ankylo, again a base weight of 250, and on a Megaloceros, the base weight is 220, compared to the Bear's 650. This means with a single bear, you can triple your range per run, and thus the amount of materials gathered. Bears are also very fast if you want to ride one back to unload it, leaving your slower gatherer at the resource area. If doing this, I'd recommend using at least two bears and rotating them, especially if you have a partner to work with - ideally one bear per player, plus one extra. While most gathering dinos tend to have decent defenses, you can be assured that with Bear escorts, they'll butcher most wild carnivores that might wander up while they're idle (I'd want multiple high-level bears to deal with packs of Allos, though). Bears are less effective as mules for wood than Castoroides - the beavers ability to reduce weight of thatch and wood in their inventories to 20%, plus their base weight of 300 means they can carry effectively 1500 units of weight of wood and thatch. The fact that they can squish this down to much smaller weight means you can easily grab a Beaver loaded with wood and thatch with an Argentavis and fly it halfway across the map to drop it off someplace. This can be really effective for supplying a mining base on a mountaintop, where stone is plentiful but wood is scarce. A team of gathering dinos with an Anky, a Beaver, a Doed, a Megaloceros, and a Direbear (plus an Argentavis or Pteranodon for scouting etc) can be an incredible building team for quick leveling. Get a raft with full nine foundations and surrounding roofs and ramps, with a bunch of large storage boxes on it and load on your team - you will probably want a Refining Forge to smelt any metal you get from the Anky, and a Mortar and Pestle to make Sparkpowder, Narcs and Stims. Light the thing with standing torches to produce Charcoal for Gunpowder. Best of all, you can even have the Beaver and Megaloceros follow your Doed and Bear team and supply you with thatch and wood on the fly as you gather stone, allowing you to construct stone structures, compressing material weight, and storing them on the bear(s) as you go. If you're in an area with access to plentiful trees and rocks, you can get a lot of experience very quickly this way. Happy gathering!
P Tar Nowadays the Therizinosaurus is available. Gatherer of Wood. Berries. Fiber. Meat. Rare flowers and mushrooms. Pretty much the perfect gatherer. Stronger than Direbears too! Did love my bear for a while though 😀
Dire Wolves aren't the best for organic polymer now, Pelagornis is better at gathering the organic polymer, and since it is a flyer that can swim it eliminates the need to take a dire wolf with an argentavis since it does the job of the two combined into one animal.
I'm new to this game on the PS4. I only have 1 friend that plays with me. We always get raided or get our Dinos killed when we go offline. It's such a set back. We've moved and the neighborhoods are pretty chill. Hopefully they don't kill us
Angel Velasco a tip for you if you even need it after 2 months is don't use a compost bin. Idk if that's just on Xbox but I had poop and thatch in it for atleast 7 hours and it didn't turn into fertilizer
Angel Velasco I'd recommend joining a smaller server before a bunch of other people start joining it so you get a head start and are able to wipe any hostile/raiding tribes. Just don't do PvE, because people can grief your base and there is nothing you can do about it.
I must say your videos are 'first class'. Informative, humorous, witty, and fun to watch. You can tell you put a lot of work into them from how organised they are and your well spoken delivery. Really great stuff Steve. Thanks!
When you go back and rewatch Nooblets and other ARK RU-vidrs that you followed to learn how to play the game... All the HUD Changes that have been made. Thanks for all the VODS
you have to keep looking m8. if still you couldn't find it then try killing the coast area dinos, harvest them then go back after few min. sometimes it spawn like that.
It's worth noting that the Quetz makes the farming process for many of the dinosaurs shown so much faster. Simply carry your dino to a location and farm there, or even better you get a tribemates to sit on the farming dino and pass by rocks/bushes/metalnodes/trees and farm on the go.
The FIRST Dino you can use for berries is actually the parasaur. It's slow, but it's mountable early, easily tamed, and still better than doing it by hand. Trikes are great, but that's a later game Dino, and if nothing else makes taming your first Trike much easier.
This was probably the most comprehensive, well organized, most helpful ark video (for me at least for I am but a wee noob) that I have seen yet. Great job. I'm going to sub and binge watch all of your videos now.
I use a therizinosaurus to harvest wood fiber chitin berries hide (beak attack) and it can defend you very well I tested a rex compared to a therizinosaurus with alot of melee damage but now I've forgot what levels they were so it's not very trust worthy but the therizinosaurus did more damage
Just finished watching it, and felt like i just finished watching an animal show on nat geo. I'm not degrading just appreciating it kind of kept me hooked up through that whole video. It was informative, thanks
Nice video. I didn't know about the rare flower farming with the anky. :) I would say that I think the beaver is the best farmer of thatch if you are close by the swamp, especially with its inventory being able to reduce the weight of stone, wood, and thatch. Keep up the great videos!
Mammoth is still the best wood harvester in my opinion. It moves slowly and is a pain to tame, thats right, but they collect LOTS of wood, they have very big attack radius and they have the same abillity as beaver has-wood is much more lighter. Its better than beaver and much better than therizino (therizino doesn't even has abillity to carry more wood).
I know all of these dinos and have already seen this video but I watch it again and again because I love your tutorials and you are the best ark youtuber.
Fantastic guide! I'm curious why you left the Therizinosaurus out of the list though. As far as I'm concerned it's one of the best farmers in the game, capable of getting wood, thatch, berries, and fiber, in whatever quantity you want as its unique attacks differentiate what it gathers.
The giant sloth is also great for farming chitin as he gets an enrage vs bugs. The morelatops* is also a geat early game tame that will wander and gather tons of berries and fibre.
My favorite dino for meat gathering is the baryonyx because it can kill large animals easily, doesn’t take up much space, auto gathers upon making a kill, won’t eat the meat that you gather, and can be healed with fish meat.
Returned Fire I have a Carbonemys on my solo game. Can't get rid of him because he was my first tame. I keep him well protected in my main base just so I can see him every time I come home
Liked the video, FYI instead of clicking and dragging every item, you can use "T" to instantly transfer to whatever inventory you have open. So whenyou are dragging wood fromt he stego to your inventory, if you would have pressed T it would have instantly transferred to you. No click and drag, much faster.
"Dung beetles are by far the best source of fertilizer" no, toilets are. When you poop on them, it doesn't start the poop cool down and you get a fertilizer every flush. You can get dozens in no time.
I'm on Ragnarok now and my go to tames are Dodo-tame a couple of females and their eggs keep me fed. Otter-help with temperatures. Wyvern-Meat, hide, chitin, pelt and more. Morellatops-water, berry, and thatch, Doedicurus-stone and stuff. Thorny Dragon-wood. Anky-crystal and stuff. That's pretty much all I need for farming these days.
I like how his voice sounds like a chill narrator with the little menacing tone , but then he names his dinos and he sounds pretty chill , id 100% would like to befriend this guy!!!
In my opinion the best dino is the therizinosaurus (prob spelt wrong), it can farm thatch, wood, fibre and berries at very high rates, it is also a very good killer which can also farm its victims. The only down side to it is that it has a rather low caryry weight so after just a few trees (around 200-300 wood) it would be overcumbered
ScrubADubDub Dilos are a really nice substitute for raptors imo. I've got 8 that run with me and with their special ability they slow and blind enemies so I can take em out while riding my raptor or iguanodon
Great video! Thanks for sharing, a lot of great tips. I’ve seen the yellow arrow above my dinos before but never knew it meant boosted experience, awesome!!
Extra tips that i feel nooblets could have explained better 1. The sickle is just as good at collecting fiber and does not need to be fed 2. Swords are great at getting thatch
i know this is a bit old but if you are listing to this guide i recommend using a bear over a carno and raptor cause they are pretty powerful just pump them in melee once there hp is 1k they do 50 base damage making it the same as a rex but they attack much faster then a rex
Just throwing it out there, a mammoth can still be the best wood farmer if you're anywhere near the swamp. What you do is put the mammoth on the end of a raft and push it through the swamp cleaving down trees. It can be over weight and it won't stop the raft from moving. Also, depending where you're looking when you attack, you can force different attack animations to attack quicker. And a quality of life tip, if you hover over items in your dino's inventory, press the T key, it will transfer the item to your inventory. Saves clicking and dragging :) gl hf
17:58 Take a high level toad into the swamp cave (bring additional equipment and smaller dinos if needed) and it will gobble up the insects into a huge stockpile of Cementing Paste and a fair amount Chitin.
You should definitely add the Ptera to meat gatherers, because a 120 Ptera can be kibble tamed after the 1. Trike (Bolas!) and you can't really die if you don't take a bath.
If U go to a stream with a therizeno there is what looks like a bush use the theris harvest mired used for fibre and it will sometimes give u rare flowers and species x seeds
u are by far the best Ark info channel love ur work keep doing great clear to understand amazing Ark videos you have helped me to enjoy the game sooooo much thank you thank you thank you best of luck for the future
