hide - dino or hatchet?

[zandohr]

what would give more hide, a metal hatchet or a dilo? or is it the same? or does it depend on the level?

Neither. A Sabertooth cat gets more.

If you don't have the cat, a hatchet is your best bet.

Then use a hatchet c=

or tame a wolf, same harvesting modifier, no saddle needed and keeps your bawls warm.

Or if you don't mind the grind, if you have a Raptor or any carnivorous animal, just kill a bunch of wild animals till you have enough. OR Take you saber with you and command it to kill a lot of Dodos and things.

Hinting packs of raptors or sabers work wonders for that early on. Get a spyglass and just whistle attack everything around that you can take on.

Fastest way at beginning is investing some hide in bolas.
Then hunt dinos wich yield more hide then others.
For example phiomeas and parasaurs.
( use spears, have at least 3+, be fast and aim for the head)

On scorched earth it s easier to boomerang stuff,
also jerboas give a lot hide.

Another nice trick - allways watch out for wounded dinos they are easier to take down.
Green beacons often contain hide too.

Prly a bit offtopic but mantis can even wear hatchets ^^

Sabertooths don't need to be ridden to collect hide. Just whistle it to attack a target, make sure it dies (and not your cat), and it should collect meat and hide for you.

Saddle is just for moving around faster or manually controlling it. Personally, I just use a pack of 5-6 levelled raptors and go ham on everything up to alpha raptors. I stay away from Therizino as well, unless I have a rifle.

A dangerous but useful trick is to get a beefy tame you have a saddle for, like a trike, have the raptors follow it, and set them on aggressive. They'll happily run around attacking everything that moves and gathering meat/hide in the process. This is also a good trick to use for, say, dilos around the base to keep random spawns away.

You can order a tame to attack corpses too...

Actually, the saber was given an extra boost in hide gathering several updates ago (perhaps around the time it got a new model, I forget exactly), so it's a good deal better than the wolf for hide now.
