Human, especially with a chainsaw or massive tree felling machine. Although is it wood before the tree has been felled or still a tree?

The Therizinosaurus is a good tame for wood Read here: https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Therizinosaur?so=search#Utility

"Bite Harvest: With the bite attack, the Therizinosaur gathers Berries, Berry and Crop Seeds, Wood, Cactus Sap (from both tree and bush cactus nodes), Hide, Chitin, and Scrap Metal (from corpses only). While the bite attack cannot be upgraded like the power and delicate attacks, it still gathers these resources more effectively than either, even when they are fully leveled: Hide, Chitin, and Scrap Metal. Additionally, the bite attack deals minor amounts of Torpor Damage, but the amount inflicted is too small to render it effective for taming purposes."

ALSO: here a chart to understand simply:

Resource Efficiency
Wood Wood ★★★★★
Thatch Thatch ★★★☆☆
Silk Silk ★★★★★
Sap Sap ★★★☆☆
Raw Prime Meat Raw Prime Meat ★★★☆☆
Raw Prime Fish Meat Raw Prime Fish Meat ★★★☆☆
Raw Meat Raw Meat ★★★☆☆
Raw Fish Meat Raw Fish Meat ★★★☆☆
Rare Mushroom Rare Mushroom ★★★★★
Rare Flower Rare Flower ★★★★★
Plant Species Y Seed Plant Species Y Seed ★★★★★
Organic Polymer Organic Polymer ★★★★☆
Keratin Keratin ★★★★★
Hide Hide ★★★★★
Fiber Fiber ★★★★★
Crystal Crystal ★★★☆☆
Chitin Chitin ★★★★★
Cactus Sap Cactus Sap ★★★★★
Black Pearl Black Pearl ★★★☆☆
Berries Berries ★★★★☆

Castoroides (the beavers) is another one that is good for getting wood and they have weight reduction, unlike the Therizinosaurus but unlike the beaver Therizinosaurus' have a better all around harvesting like fiber and many other resources listed


I STILL RECOMMEND THE THERI MORE THAN THE BEAVER THO

I like beavers although not the really furry ones.
theiry rhyno and a vault = vault farming

if you are around top left: mammoth for berries/thatch/wood.
if you near beavers/rivers, beaver for berries/wood.

if you able to tame a theri then go for that. just don't use berries to tame a high one, will take you around 5 hours.

best for wood = beaver

reommended = mammoth
Mammoth ...Most definitely. Great carry weight too, and you can pump points in weight to carry more. Also gets a ton of Berries and Thatch too.
Grab a tamed Beaver with an Argy. Easy Wood farming on the fly.

Theriz and beavers.

Early game once you hit 30 rush a megapithicus equip a chitin helmet and put all the points into carry weight and damage, those dudes move fast and can collect about 1k wood in a short period of time and also doubles as an excellent companion mount.

Mammoth is nice, since you get a massive weight decrease.

A good thing about beaver is that you can carry it with argentavis and it will auto harvest when near trees and if you are flying far enough above the ground then you won't get any berries so no thrash items you have to drop.
At 50% weight it stops auto harvesting.

Mammoth is the best as of right now. Much better than a beaver or theri.

Once Scorched Earth comes back, thorny dragons are great too.
