Dinos harvesting while being carried

[Stormshadows282]

I think this is a bug as ARK: Evolved had it so you could do this however in Ascended seems that if a dino is being carried by another the carried dino will not farm resources. Was this an intention change?

If you get more specific, it would help.

For instance, an Anky carried by an Argent. I've done that (not real recently) and it has worked. It seems a bit wonky, but I think it always has been. You need to position it just right.

Some hit boxes are a bit messed up in ASA. Maybe this is related to that.

Yeh I've done it recently with all three utility dinos. Sometimes the first hit takes a while then it goes ok

Yes, this is what I've seen, but haven't tried it in at least a week. No idea why it seems to take so long on that first hit. Like usual, once the weight his around 50% or maybe a bit more on the carried dino, it then stops harvesting. This is all as intended, maybe it doesn't work quite as good as I'd like, but it is working.

We have this problem as well on our server. Ankys and Doeds not harvesting while being carried by an argy. They have nothing in inventory. It's not the placement. We can stay there for a long time and nothing happens. We tried harvesting and letting the stuff respawn and we still cant. We also tried turning wander on and off. I'm not sure what else to try.

I struggled with this as well and it seems best to just control the dino on the ground and then pick them back up. Seems annoying but its better than fiddling with them 100 times until they decide to work.
