Saddling anything?

[littleperson404]

Has anyone else had any luck saddlung anything other than the gallimimus? I brought over a styrac, wuerho, and anky to help me make some progress at LEAST cutting down some stuff on the last day but i havent had any luck.
I'm on my second playthrough

You can't saddle a dino until its trust goes up enough for it to become a Helper (you'll be notified in the morning and in the journal for that day).

The dino has to fully trust you in order to saddle it. Give it pets, treats, and play the friend call on the flute, every day. Take one or two out with out for walks around the valley as you are running errands (remember that most dinos don't sprint like the Gallis do!). It took me until 3 days left on my first play through for the styrako to trust me enough for a saddle. Hoping to beat that on this second try.

Oh the friend call too? And u'll def try to tale them on walks. Thank you so much! I've been doing the treats and pets and wondered why i never made progress in the first run. This game really needs a little more hand holding than its giving lol

Also it helps a lot if you "upgrade" the large dreamstone. You can change it so that it would act like a different dreamstone, I.e. desert, forest, valley.

I've played through the demo twice already and here's what I learned. You can actually get the Styrac and the Galli on the same day if you're really focused on it. This will help you to have the time to get the friendship up. I was actually able to get the Galli, Weurho, Styrac, and anky all saddled and even had a few days to take them around the valley and use them before running out of time on my second playthrough.

Care Tips:

Upgrade all dreamstones to valley (any dino you get at this stage will want the pen to be valley biome)

Buy pen decorations from Marlo (valley flowers are easiest) to help change pen biome to valley

Make separate pens if dinos feel crowded (also don't mix herbivore/omnivore/carnivore keep them separate)

Pack Dinos like having fewer dinos in the pen with them than herd dinos

Pet, feed treats, and take dinos for walks in the valley every day (use the flute to get them to follow you, you can take at least 2 at a time)

My pens had the following dinos in them:
Pen 1: Lucky, anky, styrac (galli stayed here too for a while before I moved it)
Pen 2: weurho, psittaco (these go well together because they get company but don't need a lot of space)
Pen 3: pachy, galli (moved galli here to give pachy some company
Pen 4: posto (he's a loner so he prefers to be alone)
Pen 5: ceolo (i didn't have time to get him a penmate before running out of play time)

This is all great information! I do want to mention however that you don't *need* to separate herbivores and omnivores! Only if you plan on feeding the omnivore meat, as long as there is only herbivore food in the trough you CAN mix omnivores and herbivores <3

I love that this has become a tip spot lol. I also discovered that you can change a pens biome by having 3 of the same biome dream stone in 1 pen!
I have honestly only befriended 4 dinos so i've only needed 2 pens. I have no idea what the tender does so i havent kept a psittaco or any others that have the same traits
