Can't harvest Dinos?
Killed a dodo and a dilo. Could not harvest either with hatchet or pick.
Is there a solution or a different tool for ASA?

Bugged, the workaround is drag it onto a faundation, then harvesting works. Also don't wack it to much, hitting the faundation will cause damage to it.

OK, will give that a try. Thank You.

For me just dragging the corpse for a second works

Can also punch it first, or don't crouch when harvesting worked for me

Hitboxes/interact boxes on dead dinos, especially smaller ones, is super whack right now. First 3 trilobites I killed took over 40 seconds each to harvest because I couldn't get the right angle.

Don't seem to have an issue with dino harvesting other dino's though. Hopefully they patch it soon. Starting out kind of sucks when you can't even harvest a dodo.

I too, cannot drag dead Dinos. Also My Argent or Ptera will not harvest Dilo's or Peggos. Sometimes I cannot harvest them with a pick axe, crouching or standing. ...It just wont harvest them. I think it is well bugged atm. I hope they fix it soon (As well as all the other bugs on the game. There are loads)!

Actual workaround just punch it than you or dino can harvest

I have these problems sometimes myself. Had a newly tamed Ptero fall beneath the ground after coming back to take it home. Issues with things falling below the surface right now

It's the same when riding a dino. Half the time I can't harvest corpses, and small bodies are especially tricky. I just walk around the corpse, biting, until eventually it works.

I had much better luck when I zoomed into first person perspective

The game seems to have trouble with low entities (like unconscious small dinos or killed small dinos) being reached by your tools, when you are in third person view. A possible workaround for that is, to change into 1st person perspective everytime you want to harvest a small dino or something similiar and then change back, after. This works in around 95% of times for me.
