left-click vs right-click vs C

[Phraggers]

Is there any definitive guide to all the dinos left-click, right-click and C attacks? I can find most tames info via google but I can find nothing about moschops - what's the difference between the 3 attacks when riding a moschops? What does 'C' do when riding a wolf (he starts sniffing in the air but nothing happens), so many questions and google reveals nothing and Ark itself reveals nothing. I love Ark but there are some design elements that feel very strange and there's no explanation in game.

Did you try the wiki?

Yep, it seems a little out of date re the moschops, it briefly mentions that you can ride them but that's it

Moschops were accidentally made ridable. Due to popular demand moschops kept the ability to be ridden, but with like a 90% nerf.

It would be my guess that all moschops attacks are the same. Lazy devs, you know.

So I saw somewhere that the primary attack (LMB) does the most damage but harvests the least amount of resources. The secondary attack (RMB) harvests the most resources but does the least damage. I found that on a reddit post. A veteran player said that the moschops has special skill levels that can be upgraded to harvest particular things, (similar to Therizinos) and that the secondary attack is what harvests the more rare resources better, such as rare flower, mushrooms, prime meat, etc. As for the C attack. I have no idea.

Edit: So I tested out using C (third attack type) attack versus RMB (secondary attack) on corpses and berry bushes. It appears that C harvests more prime meat from bodies, and more rss in general from dead bodies and the RMB attack harvests more from plants (berries and fiber). Moschops is the only herbivore, besides therizinos, in the game that can also harvest animal-based resources. So it would make sense that it would have one attack type for meat-based and a different atk type for plant-based harvesting. So I have concluded that when you are taming high level rexes, carnos, spinos, gigas, and even argies, if you don't have access to kibble, then bringing a moschops carried by an argy to the KO site, and using it to harvest prime meat will be invaluable.

Thanks for the research! Haven’t played ark in a few years but if I come back to it this will be handy 😁
