Dodos vs. Vaults
Just a tip i want to share

Tame a couple of lvl 150 dodos with good weight.
Level them to 300 weight.

Can store 300 stacks of any item with 1 weight in them.
Can store 150 stacks of any item with 2 weight in them.

Breed them, make 600 weight dodos to double the above.

300 stacks = 2 full vaults.
Compare size of 2 Vaults with the size of 1 dodo.
Dodos are moveable, vaults are not.

Use them to store Thatch, Hide, Fiber, Paste, Pearls, Angler Gel, Silk etc.

Now compare the needs of protecting your thatch, hide and fiber from raiders.

How are you going to access the Dodo, then?

Can't you open vaults?

Well, you can't put a Dodo inside of a vault like an item.

I assumed you meant 'drop' a vault over the Dodo to protect it, in which the structure would block access to the Dodo's inventory.

Damnit! I thought I was being so clever. XD

That's what happens when you're talking out of your...erm...behind. ;)

In fact its more easy to loose the dino then the vault, dinos keep getting despawned/bugged undermap and killed really easy, ohhh, and you dont need to feed the vault...

Again, oh no, losing all the fiber. Not like we can get 4k in 2 minutes.
Also despawning dinos is a rare occurance. And oh no, putting those berries in the feeding trough is so hard.

bump
The only problem i see is the amount of floor space the dodos would take up.

So a dodo is "wider" than a vault?
can you show me a dodo that takes up more floor space than a vault?
screenshot please, i think you have a bug in your game if your dodos are wider than vaults

pretty sure people been using small dinos as storage for quite some time now.... I has a Fiber Pig. Guess where the access port is? :)

also... monkies are better than dodos. mining helmet disco room. they also hold fertilizer quite nicely. throw them up on top of stuff for bonus points at night.
